An Autumn ReTreat

Dilys Morgan Scott

This residential weekend is an opportunity to dance through the catalytic 5Rhythms of Gabrielle Roth – a dynamic moving meditation practice. It will be a journey through movement, to explore how we feel, who we are and to see what is moving within us as the seasons change.

The summer will be drawing to a close; the Autumn Equinox will be just around the corner, and weather permitting, we will be able to take our last swim in the outdoor pool, if we choose to. We will focus on listening to our bodies - on the dance floor, being massaged, relaxing in the jacuzzi, or in front of the fire. Then, letting the dance do its work, we will stimulate our creative juices; writing, making art and ritual theatre – all this is a rich mix to mirror and reveal ourselves, to ourselves, and to each other. Dilys facilitates with a lightness of touch, humour, and a deep respect for the vulnerability, the sacred and the shadows in us all. This will be a real Autumn (Re)Treat for yourself.

Tantra Man, Tantra Woman

Sarita & Tantra Team
School of Awakening

This is our new 'signature group', designed to transform the world. Relationships, families and societies are made of men and women. Therefore, transformation needs to begin within our gender roles. This group evolves consciousness very rapidly by separating men and women and discovering through powerful group dynamics, the essence of woman and the essence of man. We have a team of male mentors to guide the men and a team of women mentors to guide the women.
Once we have resourced ourselves in the milieu of our own sex, and reclaimed our feminine or masculine qualities, then it is time to meet the opposite sex from a place of empowerment and joy. Included in this group is the School of Awakening Tantra Massage method, being taught for the first time.
