Totally worthy retreat experience. The teachers have expressed all the theory in quite easily understanding way. Also, these mediation technique the Lifeflow center has taught are quite practical and effective. Really reduce working pressure and an nice escape from daily life.
Wonderful experience! Lovely people - teachers were friendly, approachable and gave clear teachings. Great meditation sessions and discussions covering the all important fundamentals of meditation. The yoga classes and massage (an extra) were excellent - improved various back issues I had! The food was super healthy and super delicious. Accommodation was top notch and set in the most beautiful countryside setting. Highly recommended to recharge and give yourself much needed self care!
This was my first retreat, and something I have wanted to do for many years. I found a new awareness within myself that I never knew was there. The classes in 'Repairing the Past' ... wow wow. Nicole gave such a deep, honest, funny, poignant, meaningful approach in looking at my past, seeing my past in a different perspective, reconciling my past with more of an understanding. I am so grateful to Lifeflow for this safe, supported, beautiful location. I have not felt the peace I have within, for many many years and will look forward to my next retreat. I will concentrate more on the meditation sessions with my next retreat, and felt that let myself down in that area by not attending the sessions of meditation offered on this retreat. The meals offered were so flavorsome, which I haven't had a wholly vegetarian diet before. I will now introduce more of vegetarian into my every day life. My absolute favorite part of the retreat was the silence. WOW how this simple action can have such an impact on the senses. It truly truly re-grounded my inner core from the silence and for that again Lifeflow you ticked that box in giving me an opportunity to experience that. For anybody out there who is pondering to retreat or not to retreat, I encourage you to try the experience. Its not easy, at times can be painful, but the support you have around you, from mother earth, peaceful location, Nicole, Mark, Margie & Kerry and other retreat members is heartfelt.That path for me was well worth my treading. Thank you Lifeflow. Jo
