The Art Of Being Here- A Mini Retreat
In Recognition Of World Mental Health Day
Saturday, 10th October 2:30pm-5:30pm
Hosts Rosa Santana & Sarah Morley
“What Becomes Possible When We Give Ourselves Permission To Simple BE?”
In the midst of a busy life, it can feel difficult to pause and breathe…’The Art Of Being Here’ is a three-hour mini retreat designed as an opportunity to step away from doing, planning and performing, and make space for simply being here.
Together, we’ll explore practices that support rest, presence and reconnection, including gentle movement, breathwork, meditation, yin & sound. The afternoon will move between guided practice and spaciousness, allowing you time to settle your body, quiet the mental noise and reconnect with what is here, right now.
There is nothing to achieve and no particular way you need to feel. You don’t need to be experienced in meditation or yoga. Simply come as you are. This is an invitation to put down the pressure to keep moving and give yourself three uninterrupted hours to slow down, breathe, listen and be present.
Come alone or bring someone you love. Wear comfortable clothing and bring whatever you need to feel at ease.

Koha Sunrise Monday Morning Class
Can we begin each week without conflict?
Each Monday morning, we offer a special Sunrise class, where you have an opportunity to enjoy movement & stillness, infused with mindfulness. This class is shared in the spirit of generosity ~ koha ~ dana. This means that you can book freely (via this website or Mindbody) and then share an amount of money that you choose. Each week all the money is sent to Women’s Refuge. (You may pay by eftpos or cash. If you have a membership then simply book in as you normally would and that’s covered by us.) Thank you
