Going on a Spiritual Retreat and allowing ourselves to re-connect with the inner, more creative parts of ourselves, has never been more important than it is at this time, shrouded as our world is, in powerful currents of doom and gloom.
It enables us to enter new, quieter and deeper domains of our being which can be very nourishing and can make us feel very happy.
Besides, it is fun to spend a week in the company of like-minded individuals where we can play and have serious discussions together, enjoy the sun and the sea (we visit the beach most afternoons), savour good local cuisine, discover more about prayer and meditation, and generally connect with the presence of this beautiful and magical island. And when we enjoy things, we can often learn a lot!
I believe all of us are challenged to live more from a place of wholeness and abundance and less from one of struggle and fear, and being on these retreats is one of the places where we can begin to do this. As no group will ever have more than ten people in it, there is always space for individual coaching.
Expect to return home inspired and revitalised, having touched into many new possibilities for being more fully human and alive.

MAJORCA RETREATS 2010
|
|
|
-
While each week has a different title, all programmes touch upon similar themes and courses should be chosen less for their titles and more for their convenience.
|
|
DETAILS All retreats follow the basic format of meditation (voluntary) before breakfast, meeting as a group until lunch, having most of the afternoon off to enjoy the island, gathering for meditation again just before dinner, and after dinner, either having a final session or, if we are dining out, enjoying the island. We have an excellent chef and the cuisine will be local Majorcan.
For all retreats, please arrive by 4pm on the first Saturday and try to leave around lunchtime on the last one. You fly to Palma airport. I recommend Easy jet, which is cheaper if you book well in advance.
The fee for the week is £570. If you are non-resident, it is £460. If you are currently low-waged, you may receive a reduction.
To inquire or to enrol, it is best to ring Serge on his mobile phone 07968 113075 ( or from abroad, 0044 7968 113075) or, failing that, email him on info@sergebb.com.
To book your place, please send him a (non-refundable except in extreme circumstances) cheque for £150 made out in his name and addressed to
‘The Old School House, Hampnett, Near Cheltenham, GL54 3NN, United Kingdom.’
You will then be sent a receipt and an email detailing all you need to know about the course and what to bring with you. The price does not include travel costs.
You may wish to rent a car for maximum independence. If so, you will be emailed a map with instructions to get to the farmhouse where the course will be held. Not all participants will stay there but will be lodged in nearby fincas with swimming pools.
Everything takes place in the depths of the countryside. If you have no car, I will see you are met at the airport.
