Testimonials
\n“For me the combination of Mindful
ness\, Movement and Creativity was anxiously irresistible. I needn’t have
worried. The workshop offered a balance of experiences designed to engage
the senses\, mind\, body and spirit. Mindful walking triggered my own crea
tive muse\, and the flexibility of approach allowed me to pursue my own di
rection when it arose. As leaders\, Kovido and Suraya complimented each ot
her in approach. All round\, the weekend was an experience of discovery an
d personal insight.”
\n– Jenny\, Dunedin
“I thoroughly enjoye
d my weekend of mindfulness\, movement and creativity with Kovido and Sura
ya. They provided an environment of freedom and acceptance to take a break
from the busy-ness of life and look within at what really matters. Thanks
to a great team that helped me gently explore my thoughts through music\,
art and meditation\, the benefits linger with me still.”
