Temenos

Currently it feels like we are living in a world turned upside down and navigating a global reality marked by political instability and uncertainty. On a personal level we are dealing with relentless demands on our time and energy, unrealistic expectations, crazy pace of work and changes happening so fast that we can hardly keep up. It feels like we have little control over what happens around us, as an ever-increasing cost of living and unexpected challenges all contribute to a sense of feeling frazzled, overwhelmed and disembodied. It is no wonder that we notice an increase in mental health issues as our capacity to manage stress is depleted and anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue sets in.

An opportunity to exhale the weight of the year and return home to yourself in the beautiful surroundings and healing gardens of the Temenos Retreat Centre in McGregor. What does it mean to reclaim your center?
To reclaim your center means to return to a state of inner calm, balance, and self- awareness. To recover your sense of inner peace. All day long we are focusing on whatever appears before us, being pulled in different directions, often leading to stress, tension and an endless loop of thinking. So it’s good to take a time-out, especially in such a serene environment, as Temenos, with like-minded individuals encouraging each other to move beyond the noise, and in that process rediscover our freedom, openness and joy.

In a world that appears to be spinning into chaos, there is a call to stillness.
A call to return to the quiet place within.
A place that is sensed, a place that is known. Our true nature.

​

We move from the joyful sound of laughter around the dinner table, to the beauty of the human voice, toning the Nia Sounding Routine. We slow down and quieten the nervous system 

 through TRE, Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra, the yoga of “awake sleep”. We open the energy body with the Nia Chakra Dancer routine and receive the healing medicine of pure sound through Tibetan bowls and gongs. All woven beneath the sacred blanket of conscious silence and gentle meditation.

​

This retreat, offered in the beautiful and nurturing environment of Temenos, is for Reiki Practitioners and Masters. As energy healers we often find ourselves depleted and in need of support and nurturing. Taking a retreat is an invaluable part of taking care of ourselves, rest and rejuvenate in order to return to our practices of caring for others with renewed and inspired energy.

​

This retreat aims to provide the space for rest and replenishment, as well as receiving healing from others in a group context, connect with other Reiki healers, and refresh our skills-base through group discussions.
