A Reluctant Pilgrimage

Posted by McGregor Tourism McG on 02 September 2021 8:00 AM CAT

What is needed to live a life of fulfilment and purpose, even if a chronic health condition has taken away most of what gave fulfilment and purpose before? What lies on the other side of your losses and your suffering?

This supportive little guide takes you from despair and confusion, along several landscapes and reflections, into a place of insight, acceptance and hope.

If for yourself or for someone you know, please drop me a line at heartandsoul.arjan@protonmail.com
and you’ll be sent this little treasure, at no cost, as well as its beautifully illustrated version of selected extracts.

The Self Compassion Break

Posted by McGregor Tourism McG on 30 August 2021 8:00 AM CAT

Feel the sunshine pull you up and out, like the plants and animals. Watch the buds rush into leaf, often doubling their size in a day. Feel the life within you, like that in nature, thrust up out of darkness into new possibilities. In Spring when nature reinvents itself, we too can see relationships and situations with new eyes. The energy of Spring brings new vision, new creativity, new hope.

Self-Compassion - makes it possible for us to be with ourselves just as we are - in all our messiness. Fierce, fearless compassion - with courage, curiosity and trust in basic goodness helps us to see possibilities we might not have otherwise imagined or ever thought possible and invites us to take action.

Creative Guiding centres on the creative process and journey of making art rather than the finished product. Karen Nebe gently nudges and guides art-making in a supportive environment. She draws on inspiration from nature and its elements, stories, poetry and other stimuli.

The Emphasis is on the experience of creating, developing and reflecting. There is a deepening of self-awareness in which one's thinking does not override the process of spontaneity and creativity. It’s about an inward exploration, being in the present moment, letting go of expectations and being curious about whatever emerges.

No art experience is required.

Join Karen Nebe for a long weekend of creativity, gentle movement, meditation and self-compassion. Pause, breathe, reflect and connect.

Reconnecting through your creative conscious 20 - 22 August 2021

Posted by McGregor Tourism McG on 12 August 2021 9:30 AM CAT

Welcome to a creative experience designed by an Artist, Teacher and Specialist Wellness Counsellor. Carl Jung said that in everyone some kind of artist is hiding. This workshop will take you on a wonderful journey back to the true self, the constant unchanging self, the knowing self. Prepare to let yourself go in a holistic space where you will be inspired to elevate your creative awareness. Learn about lost aspects of yourself such as clarity and the ensuing happiness it brings.

Relinquish stress and process your emotions as you reconnect through creative consciousness and self-expression into joy and light.

You don’t need to be an artist, everyone is creative and this workshop is designed to have fun and meditate. The experience does not only involve and is not just about the materials as much as it is about you discovering yourself, In the process of creating. Creativity is a very healing and taps into our inner beings enabling us to learn about interesting areas in our individual subconscious, so valuable in relationships, either with ourselves or with others. You should leave this workshop feeling enlightened.

I look forward to welcoming you on the Friday at dinner 6.30pm at Tebaldis.

Cost of retreat is inclusive of workshop on Saturday and morning, all materials, accommodation and two dinners and two breakfasts at Temenos.

R1960pp for two nights and the Sunday night is free should you wish to stay on. Meals excluding Sunday and Monday but feel free to book at the Temenos restaurant or explore the village.

Mary-Louise has been an Art Teacher for over 20 years as well as an award-winning professional Artist and is registered with the ASCHP as a Specialist Wellness Counsellor. She has dealt with many issues around art as she has helped people through life experiences by using the medium and watching them flourish as a result. She is also an open water long distant swimmer who has done the Robben Island Swim, a writer and a very proud mother of three amazing children. Contact her on 0795149074 to book.

The Artist Roy Adzak cleverly states that good art is not what it looks like but what it does to us.
