This
popular course is designed for the professional
with a busy lifestyle who wishes to enhance it
with better health and more creative energy. There
is nothing esoteric or ascetic about this course.
It doesn't ask you to master any rigid disciplines
or to deny yourself the pleasures you enjoy. It
does invite you to spend nine thoroughly indulgent
days with like-minded people, eating excellent
food, drinking fine wine and participating in
informal courses which are relaxing, energising
and entertaining.
By the end of the course you will feel refreshed,
full of energy and ready to make changes to your
life when you return home that will make it more
rewarding and enjoyable.
You will
be picked up from Faro airport on a Saturday and
brought to our retreat at Monte Rosa, on the Algarve,
Portugal where you will spend an easy-going weekend
getting to know each other, your course tutors
and exploring your beautiful new surroundings.
On the Monday you will begin a seven day program
of courses, all of which are designed to ease
you into greater autonomy in your choices about
how you care for yourself and how you enjoy your
life.
Particular emphasis will be put on dealing with
stress which is often self-generated and can easily
be eliminated or at least dissipated by simple
techniques.
You will start each day learning basic Yoga and
relaxation techniques with Dani Redmonds. Her
special style of teaching has proved to be very
successful as it is designed to show you how simple
the process of relaxation is with the minimum
of effort and discipline.
You will then enjoy a buffet style breakfast prepared
by our own chefs with fresh local produce and
organic where possible.
After breakfast you will participate is casual
talks and workshops with Tom and Linda Wilson
on nutrition, massage, stress-control and a variety
of other healing techniques including running
through "If it ain't easy," Tom's excellent
guide to simple exercises and methods to attain
good health and fitness with the minimum of effort.
They will also be available for individual treatments
pertaining to any specific health issues you may
have.
We also bring in guest speakers to give talks
on other areas and issues that will enhance your
course including the Bowen Technique, massage,
habit breaking and mindset control.
A delicious lunch will then be served in the courtyard,
once again prepared by our own chefs.
After lunch you will be invited to explore your
imaginative powers in a playful game-like, integrated
arts workshop with creativity specialist, Dianne
Ferrari.
Absolutely no previous experience is necessary
for the course and you are always free to take
a breather from any activity if you want some
time out.
