The Art of Well-Being – Spring/Summer
27th- 28th May 2023
We invite you to embrace the activating energy of the spring and summer in a weekend of explorative bodywork; integrating mind, body and emotions to empower your well-being. At a time where the natural world is bursting into life, we will utilise this upward energy to explore ways to reach out and activate in our own lives, shaking off the dormant winter energy to recalibrate our bodies for the season ahead.
This will be a practical exploration of bodywork, grounded within an integrated theoretical framework and guided by Maria’s experience of over 30 years of teaching and practice where she expertly weaves together time-honoured ancient disciplines. Through this, you will discover how to access the transformational healing mechanisms of your body and promote profound changes within both the physical and emotional aspects of your being.
