QIGONG, MEDITATION, SHIATSU and MASSAGE WELL BEING HOLIDAY RETREAT in AGISTRI, GREECE 2025 Wednesday 14th May to Wednesday, 21st May with Nick and Louise Neter, Yuka Poulastides and Lisa Finch
We are so looking forward to the Qigong Well Being holiday Retreat in May 2025 at the wonderful Rosy’s Little Village on Agistri Island in Greece, about an hour by boat from Athens, the perfect location for a relaxing, rejuvenating holiday retreat with daily sessions of Qigong, Meditation and Breathwork with opportunities for Shiatsu, the Japanese Holistic Bodywork Therapy with Lisa and Louise and Yasuragi Massage with Yuka available all week.
Liz, who came earlier this year had this to say about this years retreat.
‘As soon as we arrived at Rosy’s the atmosphere was welcoming and inclusive. There was a mixture of people, some travelling alone, some friends & couples, and it was easy to mingle and get to know each other but also to have time alone to reflect and absorb everything that was going on. The twice daily qigong with mediation sessions with a view of the sea and mountains were magical, and over the week they transformed my breathing and sense of wellbeing. Nick’s inclusive teaching style was suitable for complete beginners and more experienced practitioners. Other highlights were the fabulous bodywork treatments, fun excursions, and delicious food…it really was a truly special week. We were looked after so well, Nick and the team at Rosy’s sorted everything out so that we could just enjoy ourselves. I can highly recommend this holiday.’
We always try to ensure that there is plenty of free time to swim, snorkel, sunbathe, read and relax with delicious organic meals and stunning views! Sunshine every day with temperatures in the high 20’s, crystal clear seawater, fabulous beaches, extraordinary sunsets and opportunities to explore this glorious pine covered island as well as other local islands such as Aegina, the ancient healing centre of Epidaurus in the Peloponnese, Poros, and the famous Hydra , and coming back early enough for a late swim!
Interested in joining us…?

OUR NEW PLACES TO WORK
With much sadness the Well Being Centre at Stone Cross is now closed as the owners of the Glynleigh Farm, our very good friends Becky and Jon, have decided to retire to a quieter life on the farm after nearly 10 years as our business partners running the Centre. It has been a truly amazing journey and we are so grateful to have made this wonderful journey together. We wish them peace, good health and plenty of joy as they begin a new chapter in their lives…
We shall be continuing with all our work in a variety of different places throughout 2024…… We are very happy that Nicole Breathe with Ease has bought our Big Yurt, and has opened her own holistic centre on Warren Farm near Wilmington this March 2024. We wish her every success with her new venture. To find out out more please check out https://www.thesussexshala.co.uk/
Natalie, one of our other teachers, has also opened another centre in a beautiful 22ft yurt on a farm near Hellingly. Her centre is the Holistic Haven and there are more details to be found here https://www.gracefulyoga.uk/locations . We wish her every success in her future journey.

DONATION BASED SHIATSU CLINICS
Our donation based community SHIATSU CLINICS are very popular, with a mixture of regular clients who love to receive Shiatsu but cannot afford regular prices and new clients who would like to experience Shiatsu at a cost of their choosing.
These clinics provide a wonderful opportunity to have a deeply relaxing, revitalising and healing Shiatsu treatment from a fully qualified Shiatsu Practitioner for a donation. We only ask that you pay what you can afford and we suggest from £15 for a half hour, from £25 for an hour. Truly excellent value. The treatments will all take place following the chosen protocols of the Shiatsu Society, the CNHC and our insurers to ensure an environment as safe as possible. All treatments are only available prebooked. To book text or phone Nick on 0777306309.
We now offer one regular donation based Shiatsu Saturday clinic a month at the Natural Fitness Centre on the seafront near the Redoubt Fortress and are looking to announce extra ones through the year at different locations.
We are always looking at the possibility of taking the Shiatsu clinic on the road in 2024, visiting a variety of different locations such as East Dean, Alfriston and Jevington. Watch this space. For more details see below……

“Touch your inner space, which is nothingness, as silent and empty as the sky; it is your inner sky. Once you settle down in your inner sky, you have come home, and a great maturity arises in your actions, in your behaviour. Then whatever you do has grace in it. Then whatever you do is a poetry in itself. You live poetry; your walking becomes dancing, your silence becomes music.” ~Osho
As you become more sensitive to Qi in your Qigong practice, you will become more sensitive to Qi in your everyday life. This opens new avenues of perception and awareness.

NEW QIGONG,MEDITATION and the MAGIC of the BREATH 3hr workshops at the Sussex Shala, Live only.
‘Deep at the centre of your being, you have the answer. You know who you are and what you want.’
Lao Tzu
I have introduced a NEW three hour Qigong, Meditation and Magic of the Breath workshop at the Sussex Shala to take place around the Solstice’s and Equinox’s. These an opportunity to deepen our exploration of the Five Elements through the seasons through Breathwork, a range of Meditative practices and Qigong….!
Dates: 3rd August 2024 and 4th January 2025
Time: 2.30-5.30pm
Investment: £40. Booking required. All welcome…
These workshops are all based around the seasons and the Five Elements of Chinese Philosophy- Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire.
We shall be exploring their qualities through the power of the breath with gentle, flowing movements and stillness, connecting with our own energy and that of nature.
Qigong , derived from the Chinese “qi” and “gong” means working with the life force to develop vitality, strength, and wellbeing. Qigong is also a path to greater self awareness and understanding of our true nature. To experience the beauty of Qigong and Meditation come and join us for this two hour workshop. No experience is necessary!
Qigong, seeks to align the breath with movement and stillness to develop the bodymind and breath awareness for calming, exercise, healing, and meditation.
By turning our attention inwards to connect with the different parts of the body, we learn to establish a dialogue with our own body. This dialogue is both a new and ancient way to approach and experience ourselves. By becoming more aware of ourselves and our own energy we explore our connection with the powerful universal energies. When we begin to integrate all parts of ourselves and the universe, we promote our body’s innate ability to heal, maintain and regain optimal health.
Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years and can be done by people of all faith traditions or none. With the practice of meditation the mind settles and a sense of ease, tranquillity and joy arise. This can lead to insight and wisdom. The meditations are usually visualisation based, an inner journeying to develop and explore more about our inner world and create new awarenesses. It is also an opportunity to learn and develop different relaxation techniques to work with ourselves.
Investment: £40.00. Places are limited. Booking is essential. To book a place please contact Nick Neter on 07773061309 or email handswork@tiscali.co.uk.
I ask for prepayment unless by prior arrangement on the day. For payment either through Paypal; paypal.me/nickneter or BACS Account no. 01324015 Sort code: 30-92-86 Name: Nick J Neter
