Weekly Information - West Crete 2010
West Crete Holidays is a group of several venues within the same area. Ask the staff in the Free Spirit office if you require more information.
Whilst 90% of the holidays are Yoga based led by visiting UK teachers, scattered throughout the year we also have dedicated walking holidays, walking combined with yoga, writing and poetry, Angel workshops and DNA Healing weeks.
Non participant partners and friends are also welcome and we can make provisions for families to stay in apartments either at the beach or inland at Potamida village.
August 31st - September 7th
Yoga and CBT
Mithimna Beach & Olive Mill
The
week is not prescriptive and set in stone but provides a framework from
which you can choose the activities and sessions which fit best each day.
The opportunities for walking, swimming, cycling and yoga will be
offered for individuals to make their own choices and maximise the
integration and development of heart, body and spirit.
Juliet Green brings her sensitive and heart-felt approach to yoga
to you each morning to help prepare you for meditation and the practices
that Gill will teach. Working into silence and stillness is the aim, but
also to cast off the limitations of the body brought about by life stresses.
Respect for and nurturing of the body are important for Juliet and as she
says: we are born with the body to suit this life, it is a blessing. Juliet
also brings to you healing skills from Kinesiology to help you live with a
comfortable body.
Gill Garratt is a Psychotherapist who
likes to live and work in a holistic way. Heart, body and spirit awareness
combine to give a fabulous holiday experience which includes sharing of
resources of everyone to give a caring and fun environment nurturing respect
and personal development.
Gill's passions are CBT therapy, an integration of philosophy, science and
cognitive awareness, walking, cycling, dance and being at one in the
beautiful Greek climate & culture, birthplace of civilisation. The week will
include opportunities to consider what CBT is about, practical workshops,
and time to reflect on what is important to the individual and how to look
towards the future and integrate positive psychology. She will include
Mindfulness meditative experiences.
The philosophy of Carl Rogers emphasised that the person who knows what
is best for you is yourself - trust in the process.
We aim to be alongside you as facilitators in this process in a genuine and
empathic way.
September 7th - 14th
Angels on Holiday
Mithimna Beach
Chrissie
is an experienced workshop facilitator and angelologist, who travels
extensively to bring the light and wisdom of the angels to each one of
us.
Whether you are an avid seeker or an interested novice you will find this week relaxing, fun and enlightening. You will learn about the different angels, some history of the distant origins of angelology, and take part in the daily communications with the beautiful morning meditations of the Essene angels.
During this week we will get closer to our own angels in a fun and light-hearted way, through spiritual exercises and visualisations.
By opening up spiritually in a relaxed atmosphere with our guides and angels during the week we will learn how to truly connect with the angel within.
