Reconnecting with the Power of Nature - All inclusive 5 day retreat

“Our connection to our planet is so deep and so strong and each and every one of us can have this. You can learn to feel the heartbeat of a mountain, the mind of a mountain and hear nature talking to you.” Lorna Byrne

Over the course of history as society became more industrial, humankind made many incredible advancements. People rose-up against injustice, looked for equality and minds became more open. Humankind wanted to learn more, to discover.

However, according to spiritual teacher Lorna Byrne, despite all the wonderful progresses, people are less connected to nature now than in the past. As she says we all need nature, it provides us with so much beauty and feeds us too. Most of the time when we are in nature, we become peaceful within ourselves, we let go, we allow ourselves to go into nature and then we may be carried over into the spiritual part of ourselves.

During this special retreat Lorna will teach you as she had been taught all her life, out in nature, how to start to:

• Understand how being in nature helps you physically, mentally, and spiritually.
• Connect spiritually to nature
• Learn to take care of nature and include more nature in your life
• Connect to the energy of the earth
• Allow yourself to see more of the beauty in nature

Over the course of this mainly outdoor retreat, you will receive instruction in person with Lorna Byrne as well as time outside in a group setting to practice what you are being taught and to share and learn from others. Sessions with Lorna* will take place across the five days and be conducted in various outdoor areas around Sanctuary. There will also be time set aside for quiet reflection and completing Lorna’s homework. In keeping with her style of guidance Lorna will tailor the activities, teachings and exercises to suit the exact needs of the group attending.

*Minimum of 15 hours teaching time with Lorna.
