Happy Swallows Retreat – 2013
It’s not often that I get to fly like the swallows, but at our last retreat I did and it felt wonderful. Have you ever watched the swallows fly?

Full time mums, professionals, conceptual artist, musicians, and a very awakened tatoo artist from the […]

Golden Light Retreat – Summer Of Love 2012
Golden Light Retreat As I sit at my laptop writing this, my mind is wondering how to start in giving an account of such a remarkable weekend. I’m looking at the group photo from the retreat and as I do so, the wondering is dissolving and my mind is going quiet, and as always happens […]
