Drawn from the practices and principles of yoga, movement, meditation, creative imagination and various art forms, these retreats and workshops provide the gift of time and space for yourself in a supportive, natural environment. |

Everyone has a story that is sacred and rich. Each story is a fabric woven from your life experiences, events, thoughts, feelings, impressions and relationships and influences how you view your life. The stories you tell tap into your deepest needs and desires. Stories have the power to inspire. Make you laugh or cry. Offer hope. Reveal wisdoms. Bridge barriers. Heal. Cause you to reflect, rejoice. Or simply entertain. |

Combining meditation, yoga movements and free-fall writing was new to me. I look forward to making it my lifestyle. ’ Claire, Hong Kong ‘Lachlan has the rare ability to elicit total trust which helps me to relax before he attends to any specific problems I might have.
