Weekend Retreat with Jean Hall and Mimi Kuo-Deemer (A Daoist Flow Ltd. Retreat)
Friday - Sunday, February 8 - 10, 2019
Florence House, East Sussex

Mimi and Jean are delighted to host a weekend retreat near the seaside in East Sussex. Any retreat is an opportunity to go into more depth personally, away from the normal demands and routines of daily life.  In this retreat, we'll be offering you space for exploring more advanced practices of yoga as well as meditation, pranayama and yoga nidra -- with plenty of space for some restoration, good times and laughs.  We hope you can join!

Jean and Mimi will each teach a long asana class Saturday and Sunday morning. Saturday and Sunday mornings, Mimi will offer a qigong practice. Friday and Saturday evenings Jean will lead a yoga nidra practice, and Saturday and Sunday mornings they will teach pranayama and meditation. On Saturday afternoon, a special workshop will also be offered for the group, as well as good down-time to relax and unwind.
