Connections holidays
This is an opportunity for personal development and nurturing in a beautiful and supportive environment in Istria, Croatia. Facilitated by Nevia Mullan, a senior registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, this sensitively run programme will offer an opportunity to connect with yourself, others, nature and the spiritual essence of your being. You will also have a chance to relax and experience beauty, peace and nurturing.
We will spend time in woodlands, meadows, in the sea, on the beach, sungazing, meditating, circle dancing, exploring together in a confidential and supportive environment.
The course is open to anyone, but especially recommended for counsellors, therapists, and all caring professionals. There is a maximum number of nine participants, so that each person has enough opportunity for individual attention and we form a comfortable and supportive group dynamic.
Each morning, after breakfast, we will engage in two hours group work; then use the rest of the day to put into practice the new understanding, insights, awareness, while enjoying the wonderful surroundings, savouring the gorgeous food, relaxing, exercising and visiting places of interest.
Framework of the week
This is a general structure, but it may vary according to participants' needs, level of self-awareness and predominant goals:
Days one and two: We will focus on connection with ourselves, our bodies, our emotions; clarify our identity and develop our self-esteem
Day three: We will focus on connection with others. How do I see others? How do I relate to others? What is conditioning? What is real relating? We explore new models of relating and experience spontaneity and integrity in a safe and nurturing environment.
Day four: We will focus on connecting with nature; we explore the beauty, generosity and aliveness of nature, and we learn to interact with its various aspects in a more conscious and profound way.
Day five: We explore what is our conceptual idea of the spiritual essence of our being. How was this idea formed. What is belief? What is experience? How to shape up an acceptable perspective that can be part of our life and help us to understand and give meaning to what goes on.
Days six and seven: Intergration of our new awareness into our daily life and have a fantastic "real experience".
