Spring is the Season of Awakening to new possibilities and new life. For the soul a journey into spring can entail undertaking new projects, giving attention to desires and hopes that stir up after the slumber and sleep associated with winter, or even making some important life changes. This silent retreat will create the sacred space for solitude and deep reflection to facilitate this soul journey into spring through the practices of mindfulness, meditation, yoga and movement.

This popular healing, growth and transformation retreat invites you to get in touch with you really are, helps you heal and get that SPARKLE back, leading to a fulfilled life of passion, purpose and meaning. The focus is on deepening your connection with Self, to fully live your purpose.

Stuck energy, created through conditioning, limiting beliefs, poor habits, trauma and just general life experience, creates blockages, disharmony, unhappiness, and often, illness. Over the course of four days, I help you to identify and clear these blocks, find what matters to you and provide the space and guidance to make lasting differences in your journey of life.

Regardless of gender, we all contain both masculine and feminine energy. As in nature, we function optimally when these energies are in harmony and a state of flow.

Through teachings, facilitated activities, awareness, mindfulness, movement and breathing exercises, we will explore the integration of your masculine and feminine energies in an empowered, harmonious lifestyle, in flow with your natural rhythms and purpose.

Integrating the principles & practice of Alexander Technique, Tai Chi/Qi Gong and Natural, Conscious Walk-ing, Marguerite guides us into the shared perspectives of these significant Arts. Embedding Movements from these disciplines to let go of strain and tension, force and effort, allows the body’s natural EASE & design, to operate. Our attitudes and intentions toward ourSelf and our relationships can be seen, felt and sensed – EMBODIED in what we do and ‘be’. Taking home practical, gentle, self-care Life skills: Centreing, balancing, grounding our Self into Effortless Activity, Alertness, and Vitality - so that our actions flow from
the BodyMind’s natural intelligent co-ordination and EASE.

Regardless of the career path we follow, all of us experience at some point of time a “creative block” and loss of inspiration. Whether it is due to unreasonable demands on our time, work pressure, obligations, fatigue or a combination of it all, it is a challenging and sometimes very unhappy space to be in. We might feel that we are just living a rat-race to manage deadlines and ensuring that our lives stay more or less intact. But our souls might remind us that we are lacking. It is the kind of Dark Night of the Soul that brings to awareness that we have lost imagination and creative inspiration, and that it is time to retrieve it. This retreat aims to help us develop tools that we can use in our daily lives to recall the Creative Muse and keep our inspiration alive.
