This weekend just outside London over the autumn equinox, will be a time for this nourishment, with practices and teachings to train the mind and liberate the heart.<\/p>\n<p>The days will include extended periods of silence together with time for meditation and embodiment practices, as well as \u2018meditation out loud\u2019 using dialogic, relational exercises, and for being in the open space of the Kent countryside, with Earth below and Sky above. Martin will be assisted by Anna Price.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Price is a long-term meditator and qigong\/tai chi practitioner and instructor. Since 2015 she has been training closely with Paul Cavel in the Energy Arts water method qigong lineage, which emphasises physical softness and internal sensitivity. She qualified as a Mindfulness Teacher with the Mindfulness Institute and has completed a 3 year certification in Somatic Experiencing.
