| THE ART OF EFFORTLESS LIVING | |
|
July 4-9 (Sunday 7pm to Friday 2pm) five day | Book Now |
|
Ever wonder what your life would be like with more being and less doing? Paradoxically, the more we focus on making an effortless lifestyle our goal, the more our dreams and hopes become our reality – without struggle and stress. Stress (mental, emotional & physical) is a direct consequence of thinking we have to make our lives happen, to “do” rather than to “be”. So how do we learn to live effortlessly and with flow? Through centre-ing in the body and then following its guidance. This workshop takes you step by step through body-centred, playful and eye-opening approaches that teach you how to make peace with your foundation, heal from physical pain or stress, resolve emotional conflicts, develop harmonious relationships, and manifest the professional and personal goals of your dreams. And it all happens through doing less, rather than more! Ingrid Bacci (USA), a somatically-based healer & author of the bestseller The Art of Effortless Living €495 Special reduced price |

| ZEN RETREAT | |
|
July 18-23 (Sunday 7pm to Friday 2pm) five day | Book Now |
|
In his book, Zen Gifts to Christians, Kennedy Roshi suggests that people leaning toward a deeper form of prayer are often attracted to studying Zen – not because they wish to become Buddhists but because they seek a more contemplative prayer life. The core practice on a Zen retreat is Zazen – sitting meditation (for 25 min sessions with 10 min walking in-between). Zazen is the practice of stilling the mind through wholehearted attentiveness to the breath. This steady attentiveness, coupled with stillness of the body, frees the mind from its ordinary activities of thinking, daydreaming or speculating on the nature of life. Zen must be understood as a verb. In other words, it is the act of doing. What you are doing when you study Zen is nothing other than practicing a compassionate life. This silent retreat is open to people of all faiths & includes instruction, talks & one on one interviews. Robert Kennedy SJ Roshi (USA), a Jesuit priest, Zen teacher & author €495 Special reduced price |
