Retreats
 It is not wise to rush about.
Controlling the breath causes strain.
If too much energy is used, exhaustion follows.
This is not the way of Tao.
Whatever is contrary to Tao will not last long.
Burn-out and stress are common, linked problems in many walks of life nowadays. Emotional exhaustion and stress feed off each other, and over time both mental and physical health can suffer.
Ironically, at a time when population density is increasing in the UK, the individual can all too often feel isolated and alone. Whether caring for elderly or infirm relatives or working excessive hours to compensate for corporate redundancies and the impact of reduced staffing, we sometimes need for our own sake to put our personal wellbeing first and to re-establish a balanced outlook on life and what it offers.
To do this we need to be able to take a step back and look at things through fresh eyes; and to do that we need to create a breathing space in our life.
To help achieve this, and to re-establish some sort of emotional and physical balance to offset the pressures of an increasingly pressurised yet sedentary lifestyle, Berkshire Tai Chi offers weekend retreats throughout the year. These are held in calming rural locations where you can relax, de-stress, and get some physical exercise under the guidance of professional Tai Chi instructors.
We also run special study retreats for Tai Chi practitioners who simply want to take some time away from their normal work routine to polish their skills with like-minded people in a restful environment, where for a couple of days they can concentrate on Tai Chi and forget their other cares and commitments.
If you think we might be able to help you, please contact us and we will be very happy to discuss options with you.
