ABOUT THIS RETREAT
At the relaxed and homely Breathing Space Norfolk you will experience a weekend with Anand Kirtan, Areeradh and Anna Michalska, exploring music, voice, art, movement, and dance - all for the purpose of connection, healing and joy!
The retreat will be a space for creativity, sharing circles, voice workshops, conscious dance and meditative art in one of the most beautiful settings in the Norfolk countryside, in the heart of the Norfolk Broads and close to pristine sandy beaches.
The whole retreat centre is designed to give you the experience of living amongst nature, but in very nurturing, comfortable and inspiring surroundings. We will be spending time nearby at the beach as well, singing and dancing next to the sea.
ITINERARY
The retreat is fully catered, starting with dinner on Friday and ending with lunch on Sunday, with delicious wheat free vegan food.
Some rooms have twin beds so you would be sharing with one other woman. If you are applying for a place with a friend, please let me know that at time of booking.
Arrival Friday early afternoon. Departure Sunday afternoon. Full schedule will be shared on social media/newsletter nearer the time, but you can expect daily music/art and dance sessions and plenty of space for sharing and meditation. We will also include some beach time and some sea gazing, maybe even swimming!
Days will include pre-breakfast yoga classes and then workshops and creative space with Anna, Areeradh and Anand Kirtan throughout the days, with a kirtan concert on Saturday night. There will be space and time to use the surroundings and to spend time reading, journaling, chatting or meditating or exploring the beautiful surroundings.
This retreat is perfect for: people wanting to spend time exploring their creativity. As well as women already working in wellness, yoga, sound, music, art or movement, who wish to learn some wonderful exercises to take back into their own communities.
