Feldenkrais retreat with FeldenRide in Lapland, Finland 26-28 June
Welcome to 3 days of exploring and reconnecting with yourself in the area of the beautiful Oulanka national park. Expect to see reindeers and experience the Midnight sun!
Bring a new sense of Being out of stillness and into daily life. Look at all the life around you and develop a non-discriminative ability to understand the nature of what you see. David Bennett
Through meditation and mindfulness, Feldenkrais® and yoga we will practice to be in the present moment with awareness. Awareness of how you sense, breathe and move, of your thoughts and your emotions. Grounded in yourself, open to the world around you.
One of the days we will go to a riding center to meet beautiful Finn horses, the native breed of Finland. Together with them we will enjoy a FeldenRide lesson. Helmet can be borrowed.
