Led by Margaret Meehan

Jesus says that if we keep his word, then he will make his home in us. This retreat explores the incarnational aspects of our daily lives through prayer and the Alexander Technique. The Alexander Technique is holistic and allows us to release extra tension so that we can become more present in the moment, not only in stillness but also in action. The main principles of the technique will be taught. Natural breathing and the use of the breath to symbolise the Holy Spirit will be explored. We will also touch on maintaining spiritual poise when transitioning from contemplation to movement.

Please be aware that teaching Alexander Technique involves the use of a light hand contact by the teacher.

Arrive in time for supper at 7pm on Thursday and depart by 3pm on Sunday.
