Shamanic Weekend Retreat
Facilitated by Genevieve Simperingham
Treat yourself to a weekend of deep relaxation, time in nature, delicious wholesome vegetarian food and lots of special moments with a group of open minded, open hearted people, all focused on learning to be more kind and patient with themselves. This weekend retreat, as well as being a luxurious weekend away from the stresses of life in a beautiful homely retreat centre, will also no doubt be a life changing experience.
Everybody, deep inside wishes they could reach their full potential, shake off their fears, limiting beliefs and inhibitions and step into the feelings of confidence and empowerment that can only come from deeply knowing yourself. This weekend will take you on that powerful healing journey within yourself to reach the clarity and vision that you can only gain from your own soul. The workshop is an opportunity to release old hurts and limiting beliefs and to experience profound healing, peace and joy.
The weekend will introduce you to The Medicine Wheel and Shamanic Journeying if that is new to you, or deepen your experience and understanding if you've already walked a shamanic path in previous years. The slideshow shows some pictures of the venue, Sharda Retreat Centre
Over the weekend, participants will also work with and learn many tools to access and consciously work with their internal world and their Spirit Self. Among them will be silent meditation, medicine walks, writing exercises, conscious movement, dance, drumming, chanting, healing sounds, conscious breathing and silence.
The workshop is an opportunity to deeply feel, to open your heart to a path of love, kindness and gentleness towards yourself and others and to enjoy the deep but soft healing that that path brings.
Through the creation of an emotionally safe and inspiring environment, you begin to connect with your passion for freedom from all your limitations. This passion serves to ignite your strength and confidence to burn through obstacles and restrictions. Once your fire is burning, the sky's the limit! There is no shortage of fun, laughter and friendship on these weekends.
The weekend will be a shamanic journey of transformation from beginning to end. It offers the opportunity for a natural initiation or Rite of Passage. The workshop will be experiential and very personal to each individual. Participants will be guided to deeply connect with their energies and aspects of self in a way that's deeply healing. One of the focuses on the weekend will be on unifying of the internal masculine and feminine and anchoring the Spirit Self into the physical body.
We will create sacred space and draw on the power of the Medicine Wheel, we will invoke together the energies of the Earth Mother, Sky Father, the Sun God, Goddess Moon, the directions, the elements, the devas and spirits of nature as well as our own deities, spirit guides, power animals and our helpers from the Angelic kingdom.
