Kay Hoffmann

“The body in its infinite wisdom knows its way back to wholeness.”  Eugene Gendlin

 This residential retreat, led by Kay Hoffmann and Kathryn Davies, is open to anyone wishing to explore the combination of Focusing, movement and conscious breathing. We will experiment with entwining these three in a variety of ways. Together we will create a welcoming space to support deep rest, nourishment and physical unfurling. We will delve into the following areas:

• Using movement and breath to support and enhance the focusing process
• Letting the innate intelligence of the ‘whole body’ guide our focusing
• Taking time and space to fully immerse in our own direct embodied experience
• Inviting movement, breath, silence and rest into our focusing exchanges
• Bringing curiosity to the relationship between felt sense and posture
• Opening to a deeper felt connection between focuser and listener
• Exploring how being in nature can expand and inform our inner process
• Incorporating focusing as a way of being in everyday life

The programme will include focusing in pairs or triads (prior experience of this is needed), free time for walks or naps after lunch on Sunday and an immersive experience of Conscious Connected Breath.
