Silent Retreat reflections |
|
Our first Silent Retreat for 2023 saw us return to the Margaret River region for three days of blissful silence – our first also at this beautiful location: Shambala. We often find the silence of retreat inspires something deeply connected and creative to emerge and many times this is in the form of poetry – so much in fact that we created our own book of Poetry & Quotes. This is what arose from the weekend for me… How would we see if we had no eyes, the little girl asked..’With the Heart of course’ answered the Tree, ‘your heart can hold a vision far longer than any eyes can gaze’.

Eve’s Longform Vinyasa Workshop Series success
Our wonderful Eve shared her humour, knowledge and passion for functional movement with 18 students (and teachers) each Sunday for 4 weeks in our first Workshop Series – it was so much fun, a great challenge and highly educational.
Keep a look out for the next workshop series in the coming months and in the meantime – you can catch Eve teaching Pilates on Thursday’s – 7am!
Annual Leave & Adventures
Julia heads off on her 12mth Sabbatical to India mid-March. It’s been a wonderful treat having her cover some classes and we will miss her calming presence. All the best for this amazing adventure ahead Jules x
Heather is enjoying 6 weeks in Japan in the snow, back on 22nd March.
I will be enjoying participating in this month’s 7 day silent retreat in Denmark, with many of my fellow Functional Flow Trainee Teachers also attending and our lovely Tina supporting Ava as coordinator.
