Dancing from the Heart of Loving Kindness
With Kataraina Walker and Kath Mitchell
Friday 24th July 5pm to Sunday 26th July 3pm
In this weekend retreat, we will explore how to cultivate Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy and Peace through gentle moving and seated meditations. This will be a silent retreat where you allow yourself, and each other, time to be quiet in our safely created spaces.
Kataraina will lead us in the dances of the sacred feminine. We will move our bodies, to express prayers of aspiration, to reveal our natural, warm and open hearts.
Kath will offer the heart-centred Loving Kindness meditation and the creative meditation on the Four Immeasurables: Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy and Peace. These practices are nourishing, healing and enlivening. They help us deepen our connection with these precious qualities that are already within us.
All are welcome to come to this retreat as it is suitable for beginners and those with experience.
