The Big Peace retreats in November 2008 and May 2009 were a MASSIVE success - just read what our Big Peacers had to say:
“Thank you so much for inviting me on The Big Peace weekend – it was a bootcamp for the soul! I found the whole experience deeply powerful and profoundly moving. I loved how each element of the two days dovetailed so neatly into all the other bits creating a multi-layered experience. It's definitely the best workshop I've been on this year by a long way. I don't see how you could have improved on it, everything was perfect, from the beautiful setting, to delicious food and drink,( an unexpected treat on a retreat!) to the content of the sessions. All this and tiaras too! Also the itinerary was very cleverly designed, to have Georgia's amazing session at the end, so that we take away the entire experience of the weekend in our subconscious minds, wow.
On the yoga side, I was a bit apprehensive about wobbling my way back onto a yoga mat after such a long time, but Viv's practical, real world teaching was just brilliant and as I said to her on the first day, why on earth did I ever stop doing this? I soon realised that although I'm fit, because I run, my fitness is totally out of balance with all my strength in my legs and lungs and no where else. I will be continuing my wobbly journey back to it after this weekend. So i would definitely recommend the big peace for people who are new or like me just lost touch with yoga practice.
Lastly, what a great bunch of women all gathered together, wow! Looking forward to leaping into 2009!” Anita Chaudhuri, features writer for Sunday Times Style magazine.
