Dear all,
It´s been about a month since my last post. A lot happened. Some very sad and some very good. C’est la vie! So let’s focus on the really positive events.
Yoga & Breathwork retreat 2023
Since last year’s retreat in La Perdrix - in the Dordogne area in France - was a great success, we decided to have another one this year. What an amazing week! Fifteen people - two third living with MS- gathered to do a lot of yoga, breathwork and to share, exchange and laugh!
I wasn’t really sure if I would cancel the event or not as my mum passed away 8 days before the start of the retreat, and I felt a bit vulnerable. But I’m delighted I didn’t cancel it. I will always be thankful to each and every single person in the group for making this event so special. Everybody worked really hard but laughed a lot too.
Conscious Connected Breath
While any breathing technique, even simple breath awareness can be transformative, the practice of Conscious Connected Breath (CCB) is special because it creates a powerful state of alerted consciousness where deep healing and transformative work can be done. Learning how to facilitate a CCB session is a key part of the Advanced Breathwork Training I completed so I was looking forward to facilitate a session at the end of the retreat.
CCB has the potential to ‘release the psyche, repattern the body-mind system and expand the breathing mechanism. The increased lung capacity, the release of fascial patterns, all work together to create new neural pathways’ (Breathwork Africa). Here is some feedback from some of the participants.
What next?
Our guesthouse is nearly ready. We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our beautiful village of Amendoiera, 25 min from Faro airport, 25 min from the beach, surrounded by green hills and hiking paths. A paradise for cyclists, hikers, Nature lovers and those in need of warmth and blue sky.
We’ve started to create a list of EVENTS for 2024 that we will update progressively with more details but feel free to contact us to tamingthewalrus@gmail.com.
