We will also utilise the amazing new purpose built yoga studio,
Perfect for Couples, Friends or Solo travellers. You can take part in many of the activity options on the island or settle in with a book and relax.
Here is what Rachel has to say about the weekend:
Ritual of Elements / True Nature
Namaste , as we nestle into this divine location. Here we get to relax reset and relate to the elements . The nature that is within us and that is externally at play all the time in the world we live in .
Elements of Being is relating to the foundations within us and external making up this divine play we dance in.
The five great elements.
This will Include the chakras as we moving through this weekend:
Earth - foundation , stability
Water - creativity, fluidity
Fire - Transformation, cleaning clearing
Air - bliss the grace love heart
Space - ability to be open to new information
This schedule can change as that is the nature of the practice.
This weekend is a translation and a shared experience from my dance with the elements . For all it is personal journey. So please come with openness and fluidity . Also with this work sometimes there is connection to the teachings sometimes not . This is all personal experience. So there are no expectations.
Truth Love & Grace,
Rachel
