SUMMARY:July Summer Retreat
DESCRIPTION:July Sati Yoga and Meditation Retreat\n21st - 26th of July 2026\n\n\n\n\nMoving from Practice to Praxis\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for this special summer retreat  – one that offers the time and space for deep inquiry into the nature of practice through the exploration of classical yoga\, early Buddhist teachings\, contemporary mindfulness\, somatic and breath techniques\, allowing us to experience the transformative nature of these endeavours\, and their relevance to the fractured times we're living through.\nIn addition\, you’ll experience the welcoming atmosphere of Macalla Farm and the unique elemental nature of the island which we will explore directly as part of the week's practice.  And we can't forget to mention the amazing food!!!  scrumptious vegetarian/vegan meals – all organic\, all vegetables/fruit grown on the farm.\n\n\n\n\nOur Time Together\n\n\nBy consciously slowing down\, we will explore how practice and the mastery of necessary skills are transformed through reflection\, intention\, purposefulness into praxis - essential for creating meaningful change and growth\, not only in our own lives but in society. There’s no more urgent time to be exploring this ethical dimension and its application! \nKey to our endeavours is the integration of mindfulness (sati in the ancient language of Pali of the Buddha)\, which allows us to deepen our embodied experience through supportive qualities and values we wish to cultivate\, as well as navigating and being with discomfort\, boredom\, unease when they arise. \nInvestigating our relational experience – to gravity\, to the space that surrounds us\, we gain an understanding of natural alignment of the body\, necessary for meditation\, free and relaxed breathing\, easeful asana practice – for the overall integrity of our embodied existence. This exploration of inter-relationality and inter-connectedness will be enriched by direct practice with the land and sea of Macalla Farm and Clare Island  (we'll remind you to be prepared for all types of weather!)\nThe length of the daily sessions provides for interactive inquiry and experimentation\, encouraging questions\, insights\, feedback as well as periods of self-practice. This course will be of interest to keen beginners as well as experienced practitioners and teachers\, especially to anyone with an interest in establishing or furthering their meditation practice.\nPlease note that this course involves periods of shared silence. To truly gain the benefits of being on retreat\, we encourage students to turn off phones and any other electronic devices while you are here on the farm.\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE*\nTUESDAY Arrival5.30 pm Leave Roonagh pier with ferry for Clare Island6.00 pm Arrive at the centre\, settle into accommodation7.00 pm Dinner followed by introductions and outline of the retreat\nDAILY8.00 - 11.00 am Morning session11.00 am Silent brunch then free time for hill walking\, reading\, relaxing4.30 - 6.00 pm Afternoon session6.30 pm Dinner8.30 pm Sitting meditation\nSUNDAY  Departure8.00 am Morning meditation11.00 am Brunch12.40 pm Depart centre1.00 pm ferry back to Roonagh pier\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACCOMMODATION\nPrice is based on shared accommodation.
