Comments from previous participants... “The
treasure that is Silent Ground, created with love, tenderness and mindfulness
- And transmitted to the students in the air and rocks and tress and
halls, in word and in deed. The teacher, Minke, whose beauty and inner
light is a beacon.” "In
the past few years I have experienced different types of spiritual retreats.
This one was a true silent journey into the body, into the soul. Personality
had put aside and was not getting in the way for truths to rise above.
The insights I had while we were doing the work had changed my life.
(It's big words and I stand behind them.) I was able to connect to my
heart and to other parts of my body and "see" clearly what
it is that hinders me. I have now more tools to curve through my path,
to bring more light and wholeness, more of the true self alive. Although
it's hard work, Minke was beautifully containing and showering us with
joy and ease, keeping us with curious excitement all the time and making
hard things look easy and possible. "At
Silent Ground, Minke has created an enchanted place of personal magic
where people can relax into their true nature and tap into deep sources
of creative energy. Minke is an inspiring teacher whose gentle and dedicated
approach leads to great trust and love. Her amazing voice and versatile
imagination has created extraordinary guided meditations in the Taoist
practices. After four weeks of Chi Kung, Tao Yoga, breathwork, and guided
meditations, I feel profoundly relaxed and rejuvenated." "This
workshop has changed my life. Minke has brought to my life a whole new
world of energy. |
