Another great film showing you more of Body Percussion & African Instruments. Clare will be running this workshop within the Body Currents Retreat 7th - 11th August. We had a great time, the whole film isn't staged, we wanted to be spontaneous!
You only have to let the soft animal love what it loves...
If you need time to make your mind up please take your time...if you have decided then do come and we look forward to welcoming you :)
Every day on the three Urban Retreats there will be a dedicated hour to reflect on beautiful words. This is a novel and nourishing way to meditate. Each day there will be a different poem. David Whyte is a favourite of ours. Here is one of his, if you like it come to one of the retreats and find a space to be unutterably yourself...Be Well is waiting for you...
Everything is Waiting for You
Your great mistake is to act the drama... as if you were alone. As if life were a progressive and cunning crime with no witness to the tiny hidden transgressions. To feel abandoned is to deny the intimacy of your surroundings. Surely, even you, at times, have felt the grand array; the swelling presence, and the chorus, crowding out your solo voice You must note the way the soap dish enables you, or the window latch grants you freedom. Alertness is the hidden discipline of familiarity. The stairs are your mentor of things to come, the doors have always been there to frighten you and invite you, and the tiny speaker in the phone is your dream-ladder to divinity.
Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the conversation. The kettle is singing even as it pours you a drink, the cooking pots have left their arrogant aloofness and seen the good in you at last. All the birds and creatures of the world are unutterably themselves. Everything is waiting for you.
