Join us for 2 days as we explore how the human nervous system has evolved in relationship with the natural world, why it is one of the most intelligent technologies on planet earth and how to put this wisdom into practice.
Combining both day events offered on Friday 27th March and Saturday 28th March, we recommend making a longer retreat of the 2 sessions by staying overnight in our beautiful Ecology centre with views of Wicklow harbour and our Organic Farm.
Everything humans do comes from electrical signals in our nervous system. With every movement, breath and action this biological system lights up and we respond to life based on the information it gives us. This system impacts every aspect of our lives so why do we know so little about it?
Over 2 days you will learn about how the nervous system functions, how trauma functions in the body, and how to implement this knowledge in your daily life and personal healing practice.
On the first day, after the teaching sessions, Felix will guide a gentle functional movement practice (suitable for all fitness levels) to help us embody the learnings bringing it from head to heart.
On the second day, we will further explore somatic healing, you’ll be gently guided to connect more fully to yourself, the others present and your ancestral heritage.
This space will be led by Felix and Mel in a way that encourages exploration, curiosity and staying true to your own needs as the day evolves. For our body-based practices we will focus on the wisdom fields of the heart and spine.
In the realm of somatic healing, place-based wisdom is a huge support. On the second day we will work with the gardens and chapel at An Tairseach Farm and Ecology Centre to explore how our environment can help resource body, mind and spirit in daily life.
This experiential retreat will create a space for you to share, reflect and leave transformed by the encounter of place, people and Grace.
