Where: Bamarang Bush Retreat (Nowra - South of Wollongong)
Women as daughters, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, partners and friends we give to others. It is in our very nature to be givers and carers. To give fully with unconditional love, without resentment, irritability and anger we too must receive.
This weekend retreat is an opportunity for you to explore the relationship between giving and receiving, to delve into the cyclic nature of the inward and outward and to discover ways to nurture and nourish yourself in the busyness of daily life.
Join your sisters at an awesome bush retreat near Nowra to swim in the river; to stretch and expand with daily yoga, relaxation and meditation; feast on nourishing organic vegetarian food; release with conscious dance; gather around the fire to sing and share stories and sit in sacred circle to gain and share women’s wisdom.
