We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.
When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

What to bring to your retreat
We ask that teacher trainers in attendance bring their props where possible. Please do note that due to the practical nature of the workshops we advise wearing clothes suitable for moving and stretching, as well as bringing a refillable bottle of water. Many of our clients also love taking notes through the workshops - please feel free to bring a pen and notepaper, and should you choose, a copy of your course manual either in print or on an electronic device. Feel free to contact us should you have any questions regarding prop requirements.
Lunching each day at the Upper Brookfield Sanctuary
Due to the new COVID Legislations lunching will be an individual affair. Please ensure that you bring your own food, cutlery, and water. Please also take care to dispose of scraps and to take all belongings with you at the end of each day.
