Nurture YourSelf Brighton

Attend, one, two, three ... or all workshops. The choice is yours!

Life can get pretty busy, and as much as we would all love to escape on a full weekend retreat, sometimes that's just not possible. It's also understandable that you might be drawn to just certain parts of a retreat. So with these two thoughts in mind, I've planned regular weekend mini workshops where you can join in for the times and sessions that best suit you.

You can join in for just one workshop or choose a few, however you choose to spend your time over the three days at Brighton, I know that there is something here that is just right for you, allowing you to feel thoroughly nurtured.

HERE ARE YOUR WORKSHOP OPTIONS:

1. A MORE PEACEFUL YOU with Dawn: Friday 15 June, 6–8 pm (Session capped at 20 people)
Gently unwind from the week with some easy-paced yoga, breath work and deep relaxation. During this workshop, Dawn will introduce you to a range of mindfulness practises to help you stay present and in the moment. We will spend time in guided meditation and explore the many health benefits of activating the body's relaxation response. This workshop includes a deep relaxation to leave you with a sense of inner harmony and stillness.

2. LITTLE LOTUS KIDS YOGA WORKSHOP with Tania: Sat 16 June, 9.30–10.45 am
Ages 6 yrs and upwards (Session capped at 18 children)
Tania will thoroughly delight your little ones with some active and easy to do kids yoga. This interactive workshop will be lots of fun and includes the creation of an origami lotus that everyone gets to make and take home with them to remember their playful morning with other like-minded mini yogis. We love to give you options so, you can either drop off your little ones and come back later, go on the walk with Dawn for coffee or you can stay on and observe the session if you’d like.  

3. THIS WORKSHOP IS NOW FULL - A HAPPY, HEALTHY GUT WORKSHOP AND COOKING CLASS with Andrea: Sat 16 June, 11.30am–1.30 pm (Session is capped at 15 people and includes time to enjoy eating our delicious lunch together)

Cultivating a happy healthy gut is one of the best things you can do for your overall health and vitality — and even your mood. Learn about the ingredients of a healthy gut, which include delicious food choices, activity, rest and meditation.

Andrea from The Green Gourmet will take you through simple steps to better gut health that anyone can make part of their daily lives. You'll then learn how to make good-for-your-gut golden dhal, addictively delicious fermented flatbreads (you won't believe how easy these are to make), and a zingy Sri Lankan chutney. Then we'll share our lunch together and chat about more ways you can care for your health through the food choices you make.

4. STRESS LESS — RELAX MORE with Dawn: Sat 16 June, 2.30–4.30 pm (Session capped at 20 people)
A soft and flowing afternoon session filled with sequences to alleviate stress, release tension and transform blockages within the physical body and energy systems. We explore movements to assist in maintaining a healthy spine and nervous system, all whilst working with the deeper thought, energetic and emotional layers of our being. This workshop includes an exploration of the rest and digest/fight and flight responses in our bodies and how creating balance through yoga and meditation can help generate more energy and focus in our daily lives. 

5.CLUB YOGA with Dawn and DJ H: Sat 16 June, 5.30–7.30 pm (Session capped at 35 people and includes a pre session drink and … yes, there will be dancing - around 45 mins of just letting go and dancing).
Join Dawn and the vibrant DJ H for a Club Yoga session, where you'll be encouraged to move your body in some traditional yogic ways and sequences, along with some upbeat movement and dancing that's all tied up with a few giggles and lots of fun!. Originally created for large groups, Dawn has started rolling out mini Club Yoga sessions so that everyone can experience the joy of letting go and moving their bodies to energetic music alongside her other love — yoga.

6. ROLL AND RELEASE FULL BODY THERAPY BALL MASSAGE with Deanne: Sunday 17 June, 9.30–11.30 am (Session is capped at 20 people — Tune Up^® balls provided for all participants)

The session also includes a yoga nidra meditation to leave you floating in bliss.

GENERAL TICKET INFORMATION: Contact Dawn on 0438 824 573 if you have any booking issues.

PLEASE NOTE: When booking your ticket, you will note that you have multiple choices of 'single entry' tickets and even though one single entry ticket can be for a particular workshop or even the whole event, all tickets are listed as 'single entry' (it's a ticketing system thing that I just can't get around).

All you need to do is to select the workshop or the amount of workshops that you would like to attend over the whole weekend and once you start this booking, you will be asked to fill out some event questions. This step is where you will nominate the workshop and also the time/s that you are attending.

FOR EXAMPLE:

If you would only like to attend the Saturday evening mini club yoga session with Dawn, select:

• Attend one workshop with Dawn single entry ticket.

If you would like to come to a total of three workshops over the Friday night or Saturday afternoon with Dawn, select:

• Attend three workshops with  Dawn single entry ticket.

If you would like to only attend the delicious Saturday cooking demonstration and lunch with Andrea, you would select:

WHAT TO BRING: If you have your own yoga mat, blanket, cushion, shawl and anything you would normally use for meditation, please bring these along. You will be encouraged to drink lots of water and I find it's always easier to relax and enjoy yourself if you are wearing comfy clothing. Warm socks will be essential as your feet will cool down during relaxation.

If we need to cancel any of these workshops for an unforeseen reason, such as extreme weather or illness, you will receive a full refund. Unfortunately we will not be able to refund you in the event that you are unable to attend, however your ticket can be transferred to someone else if needed. You'll just need to let us know of the name change.

Each workshop has a minimum of five persons before we can go ahead with that session.
