Course Details

A weekend away to re-centre, and to experience the beauty of Qigong, Tai Chi and Wellbeing practices. Initial Deposit: €150 to secure a place. This retreat will include slow meditative movements from the Tai Chi and Qigong traditions, Yoga Nidra and restorative meditations. All of the practices we will explore seek to nourish our Being at deep levels, by re-setting the nervous system, easing stress, opening gentle opportunities to learn and transform, and by cultivating a felt sense of safety, contentment, connection, peace and health. Taking time to slow down and re-connect with a more natural pace and rhythm is an act of self-care, and allows a sense of resting in an expanded awareness of ourselves. Ballyvaloo Retreat Centre is beautifully located on private grounds, with its own access to the beach where you can enjoy long walks along this unspoiled sandy Wexford coastline. The Centre is a haven of beauty and a sanctuary for wildlife. With no passing traffic, it is a perfect base for reflection, retreat and restoration. The healing rhythm of the ebb and flow of the tide on the beach provides a wonderful opportunity for walking and relaxation. We will balance Movement with Stillness, Fun with Silence, Privacy with good Company, and Free time with Scheduled sessions. Let yourself be inspired through the moving meditation practices of Qigong and Tai Chi, the beautiful natural landscape, the refreshing sea, the wholesome meals, and your own private room.
