Deep Rest, Restoration & Meditation Retreat
with Paul Wooden
Fri May 22nd – Sun May 24th
The Retreat
During this retreat will explore practices that nourish and support our capacity for rest.
To rest fully is to be fully ourselves.
We will explore ways to support deeper and deeper releasing and surrender and will focus on cultivating a real sensitivity and receptivity in our practice.
In this retreat particular attention will be given to how we approach ourselves in practice, inviting a fresh and easeful intimacy with our immediate felt experience.
We will be giving ourselves permission to deeply unwind, soften and open and most importantly to notice what becomes available when there is no tension in the system.
Using the methods of gentle restorative asana, yoga nidra, pranayama, sound and meditation to encourage deep rest and guide us into the effortless heart of Being.
