TWIRLING SHEILA PRODUCTIONS

I was in the studio today when the big change of weather came to Venus . Everything around me went very still and quiet. So I rushed to the beach just in time to see the storm coming - gorgeous!!! Wild!!!!
Here again is my talking head. I have had some questions about the Summer to Autumn mini retreat happening here at the Treehouse on March 7,8 and 9. This is part one - what does Yang and Yin mean in the context of the retreat.
Keep the questions coming and I hope I have answered you clearly here.
Summer to Autumn Mini Retreat . A series of offerings for your mind , body and soul.

Bloody hell the talking head!! This is take seven goes I think?

What I wish I had said to the woman I met today was - The more you live the more you live. That you can’t get to menopause unless you have lived for a significant period of time.
You are a vessel of wisdom. You are the accumulation of all you experiences , thoughts and actions to this point - the good and the bad and everything in between.
You are rich beyond words.
Menopause made me search - for peace , for solutions, for understanding. Through the practice of Yoga I experienced the significance of stillness, the power of silent contemplation. I learnt to listen - to myself, to others and the world around me.
I learnt I was the boss of me. And it was my responsibility to look after the values and beliefs which are important to me. I love that I will be a forever student. Each day a new experience, each day another moment of growth.
The long weekend Mini Retreat Summer to Autumn March 7,8,9 takes its inspiration from what I see as a most powerful skill - stillness. Using gentle yoga , deep breathing techniques and meditation to make space for quiet and supported release.
Choose one ,two or all three yoga sessions throughout the long weekend.

The unique rhythm of each season.
Mother Nature is the wise expert.
If we sat still for a decent moment and recalled the deep and subtle changes of one season and its movement into the next -
The shift of bright summer light to the deeper and richer colours of Autumn.
The choice of food - from cool and crisp to hearty and warm.
The swap of light cotton clothing for warmer textures .

Nature invites us to be part of the shifting rhythm.

From Yang - the powerful outward focused Summer to Yin - the more gentle and restorative Autumn time.

When we time to honour the changes - to practice deep breathing. To encourage the body softly to let go and to relax.

The body is then able to settle, the nervous system registers safety and this induces calm.

Join me at the Treehouse Studio Venus Bay for a special Change of Season Summer to Autumn Mini Retreat . A ritual for wellbeing.
March 7-9. Choose one , two or all three sessions of this immersive practice.

Moved into at on Thursday . Will be here for February playing with bespoke Japanese fabrics from old kimonos- stitching and exploring possibilities and working with the French Night Frock for the .3909 project . February is research month ! Feeling lucky 🙏

Travelled to East Gippsland this week and picked a Night Frock from a selection of French Linen Frocks that had been gifted to .3909 This inspired a new undertaking by Float entitled Night Frocks .3909
For 12 textile artists to each choose and then embellish the said garment.
This will eventuate in to a group exhibition as part of the Winter Festival in June.

I chose a linen frock heavy with stories - worn , patched and stitched. At least one century old her history so full already.
It will take some time to meet her. I’m going to sit and listen for while.
So I took her for a walk to the beach - to give her some air and space.
She shook with rage ( or was it delight) to be free. Like the spirit took over and I met the force of her energy. FURY

So much inspiration and we only just met.

I have been thinking a lot lately and over the summer holiday about what yoga is and what it is that I am offering. Yoga uses the physical body as a vehicle to connect deeply with oneself.

Oneself who is more than the physical and more than the mind. Yoga is a method that when practiced helps us to experience what it is like to feel.

The physical asanas and breath work help us to develop awareness, inquiry ,intention and imagination. It is like holding a conversation with self . We work from the outside in and the inside out.
Yes it is physical and is capable of making one strong, flexible,mobile and balanced. But it is also a poetic and abstract endeavour. The aim ultimately is to fine tune and connect with one’s intuition.
Intuition is also an abstract concept- the phrase ,’I feel it in my gut’ a common saying which reflects intuition has more to do with physical sensations and feelings than with the mind.
Yoga practise I believe helps to build a powerful foundation of subtlety,calmness,strength invigoration.
To move lightly through the world with confidence and empathy.

Monday morning is last class of the summer holiday program. A few places still available.

Coming Up
Keep a look out for Match offerings including

Mini Retreat for rest and relaxation
Also Mastering classes that will focus on finely tuning Asanas in order to take your individual practice forward.
