WELL BEING LONG WEEKEND RETREAT in NORTH DEVON this NOVEMBER 2024
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” Carl Jung
Louise and I would like to invite you to join us for a few days on retreat at the stunning Holwell Holistic Retreat and Eco Wellness Centre on the breathtakingly beautiful and rugged North Devon coast.
Time to be, time to reflect, rest and restore, to release, rejoice and renew in a beautiful farmhouse set in 6 acres of wonderful gardens ten minutes away from the nearest beaches.
Daily Qigong and Yoga sessions mixed in with breathwork and meditations, sound healing, three delicious vegetarian/vegan meals daily created by Joe of Satori Food, a local professional chef, fire circle under the stars, sauna garden experience, a five element Well Being Walk in the local countryside and a beach visit with wild swimming for those that do dip, with plenty of free time to rest, reflect and explore if you so wish. All of this is included in the price.
As an additional option it is possible to book by arrangement, but not included in the price, an Intuitive Body or Deep Tissue Massage, Reflexology, Reiki with one of Holwell holistic inhouse practitioners or a Shiatsu treatment with one of us (limited availability).

Your home for the long weekend is a wonderful, old farmhouse in East Down, a lovely Devon village, about four hour’s drive from central London. By train it’s a three-and-a-half-hour journey from London Paddington to Barnstaple train station and then a fifteen minute transfer.
The farmhouse is situated in a tranquil and rural spot near woodlands with lovely large gardens to relax in. It’s also a short drive to the many beautiful North Devon beaches, National Trust spots and walking trails. While you’re on retreat you’ll have the option of doing as much or as little as you like.
You could go for a hike on the headland around Morte Point, visit Woolacombe beach or as mentioned above book a session with the in-house holistic practitioner for massage, reflexology or reiki or arrange a Shiatsu session with Nick or Louise. The Farmhouse has a newly built sauna inside its walled garden with stunning views over the surrounding countryside.

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 four times a year 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: 6th April, 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.
