This week-end retreat integrates meditation and psychotherapy and is inspired by the wisdom of Buddhist psychology. It is suitable for beginners as well as experienced meditators and is held in a contained and nurturing atmosphere of contemplative silence. As we learn to cultivate an awareness that is embodied and grounded in the present moment, we begin to feel safe in the silence of the retreat experience. have a look at the Programme Please contact Sue Cooper on sue.stillmind@gmail.com for your bookings and enquiries or visit the webiste

Cathy Milner will be taking an art group to the quaint village of McGregor from the 21st to the 24th of July 2016. It will be a course focused on the painting experience, where we will experiment with colour and the psychology behind it we will also use different drawing and painting methods, all geared for the inner and not the outer experience. We will explore our psyches and play with alternative mark-making and application of paint. This course is therefore open to beginners and more experienced artists, who wish to explore a more conceptual approach to painting and drawing. TOTAL COST FOR THE WORKSHOP 4620.00 per person. This covers 3 nights’ accommodation, 1 lunch, 1 dinner plus the tuition fee. Sunday night accommodation is offered free of charge for the workshop. Cottages are self catering or you can make use of Tebaldi’s restaurant attached to the centre. Please contact Madie on 023 625 1871 or temenos@lando.co.za to book your place on the workshop.
