days then as the week goes on we incorporate salads and vegetables into the diet. In the last 1-2
days we enjoy freshly caught fish (optional), soups, salads and grains.
Take the opportunity to wander through typical Tongan plantations to the local village, where life is
still lived in a traditional way. There you can experience mat weaving, watch your drinking coconut
being picked from the tree, traditional singing and dancing and more!

Reiki 2 retreat covers all aspects of the second degree; the public practitioner level -
Okuden - the inner teachings. Recapping of Reiki 1, practitioner etiquette, history, an
introduction to the symbols is all part of the course content. Reiki 2 takes the student much
deeper into their spiritual life and the symbols facilitate this journey. You will leave this

SEPTEMBER 4th - 9th -- Embody 5 - Day Intensive
Emotional integration lies at the heart of the conscious human
experience and affects literally every aspect of our individual and
collective existence. Our suppressed emotions unconsciously govern
our relationships, the way we think and make decisions, the way we
sense and feel and the ease with which we move and heal
physically.
Embody focuses specifically on the actualization and embodiment of
this awareness in a practical and accessible way that can easily be
applied in everyday life. Through breath work, inner listening and
feeling we can experience our bodies as pure movement rather than
something we move, while simultaneously and effortlessly releasing
deep-seated emotional pain and old patterns of distress or physical
injury.
This 5-day intensive takes us gradually through different phases of
deep, unconscious resistance to feeling and being in our experience,
and moves us gracefully to freedom through responsibility for and
integration of our emotional pain, mental confusion and physical
discomfort.
Self-responsibility is the focal point of this work and is cultivated
and encouraged throughout. The movement is gentle, though
emotional integration can be an intense and often challenging
process.
Take a 5-day ride into the depths of your being, move like you have
never moved and feel vibrantly alive, connected to your essence,
aware and on-purpose.
Whether you are a meditator, yoga practitioner, trainer or athlete or
simply interested in knowing yourself more deeply, this Retreat will
open your heart and mind to the infinite potential there is to explore
through the extraordinary vehicle of the physical body.
About the course facilitator:
Dr Graham Mead
is a former
Medical Doctor turned holistic counselor and self-awareness
facilitator. He has studied Martial Arts for over 26 yrs and
currently teaches Tai Chi in conjunction with a unique,
creative movement modality inspired by Emily Conrad's work,
"Continuum". The exploration of the body as a doorway to
healing and self-awareness through stillness, movement,
breath and sound has inspired his current Embody
workshops.

When: 6pm Tuesday 4 Sep 2012 to 4.30pm Sunday 9 Sep 2012.
