Yoga and Meditation
Gail Aylward and Martin Aylward
13 July – 18 July, 2020
This retreat will interweave the practices of meditation with mindful movement and yoga practice, all as supports for insight, awakening, and freeing ourselves from habitual patterns. The retreat will include 2 periods of mindful movement each day along with silent and guided meditations, and meetings with the teachers. The movement practices are designed to greatly enhance the sensitivity and steadiness of mind in attending deeply to moment-to-moment experience, and to be integrative in bringing awareness and inquiry into all moments and activities of life.

Rest, Relax & Renew – Yoga, Meditation & Relaxation
This is a self retreat, a time to look after and nurture oneself. An opportunity to practice gentle Hatha Yoga, Mindful meditation, plus Restorative yoga, to foster self care and compassion. To start to let go of our habitual patterns in our body and minds, that can constrict our way of being. And instead open up to the possibility to fully rest, deeply relax and feel renewed in this moment.

Mindfulness et Sagesse: One vision vaste d’une pratique illimité
Martin Aylward
26 October – 1 November, 2020
La pratique de la mindfulness est souvent présentée comme un moyen d’entraîner l’attention, de calmer le mental et de gérer le stress. Ces outils importants et libérateurs peuvent néanmoins se considérer dans une vision plus vaste de la pratique et la possibilité d’aller bien au-delà d’un bien-être conventionnel.
