Start Time:

Friday 5.30pm End Time: – Sunday 3.00pm

Location:

Take time out amidst the natural beauty and tranquillity of Stroud Monastery(3 hours north of Sydney.

Description:

According to the Ancient Texts Menopause is a time of transition from the physical to the emotional & spiritual – and a time to take ‘pause’. This pause allows us to re-enter the space of self and re-examine our lives, purpose, reality, goals. Based on the teachings of Wise Earth Ayurveda this programme provides you with the opportunity to take pause and discover the power and wisdom within.
You do not have to be experiencing Menopause to benefit from this retreat. For most women peri-menopause starts around 35 & our menopause experience is a reflection of how we have lived in between that time. So if Menopause seems a long way off this is an ideal opportunity to prepare so it is an experience you will enjoy. This retreat is about understanding, preparing for and celebrating Menopause as a stage of life—so it’s for all women.
The programme is based on an Ayurvedic daily routine and includes daily yoga practices that complement the theme.
$425 or $375 Early Bird if paid by 2July 09.

8 week course – We break every 4th week of the month

Start Time:

7:30pmEnd Time: – 10.00pm

Location:

Balmain /Sydney

Description:

Are you single…
or in a ‘pre-committed’ relationship …
and just want to make sure you choose really wisely
next time you decide to commit??

Would you like to explore this in a group of fun, like-minded people?

Many people spend more time planning to buy a house than planning for their life partner – and yet choosing a partner is the single most important choice you will ever make – both emotionally, financially and health-wise.

Despite the almost 50% divorce statistics, many singles still stick to the 60’s adage that “Love is all you need”. And yet tho Love and Chemistry are essential, they are not only what you need. LPQ will help you get crystal clear on all the other essentials you need for a wonderful sustainable relationship.

Life Partner Quest (LPQ) is a structured 8-week relationship program, for singles or pre-committed couples, working with a trained and experienced Relationship Coach. The programme includes a workbook, homework, coaching, and personality quizzes.

We have a break on every 4th WED of the month

Snuggle Party

Subheading:

An interactive workshop for Snuggle Sluts !

Start Date:

Sun 07 Jun 2009Second Date: – Third Date: – End Date: –

Start Time:

7:00pmEnd Time: – 10:30pm

Location:

Bellevue Hill / Sydney

Description:

Snuggle Parties are a delicious opportunity for men and women – single or ‘relationed’ – to have some unabashed, scintillating, safe, soporific non-sexual snuggling!

Many of us live in a touch-starved society where this most basic and essential of human needs is doled out in small parcels… if at all. You have the chance to connect with fascinating people, “cuddle mingle,” and, relax into the flow of an unusually playful and respectful social environment.

Snuggle Parties are gender balanced and a facilitator will work with the group to enrich your snuggle experience. We start off with some exercises on Boundaries – how to say No and Yes and Ask for what you want. We then move onto some games that build energy and get you in the mood for Snuggling.

We also have Snuggle Bunny Monitors who keep a gentle eye on proceedings and who you can talk to if anything feels uncomfortable for you

So, don’t be a ‘SnuggleAnorexic’…come be a ‘SnuggleSlut’ and get your fill. Couples or Singles welcome
