The Glastonbury Retreat is one of the highlights of the MBNLP calendar for a very good reason. At no other place or time can one invest such a small amount of time and money and feel such a powerful sense of restoration.
The group is small, which means it’s your time with Michael to let go of stress and re-create yourself.
“Can three days be as relaxing as three weeks’ holiday? That was the question I asked myself in 2019. I have known Michael and his work for over 15 years.
In 2019, Glastonbury came at just the right time. I needed a break, physically and mentally. While I had heard many good things about the retreat, my expectations were far exceeded.
I don’t want to give you too much away here to not spoil the surprise. But suppose you’re curious how you can fully recover and feel fresh and energized in three days. In that case, the Glastonbury Retreat is for you.
I’m still reaping the benefits of the exercises and time spent together on site. Here’s to a good recovery!”
Michael Geerdts
This retreat is designed with three purposes or intentions in mind:
- To create an occasion and context for the swiftest and deepest release of stress possible. Not just a little feeling of relaxation, but a deep discharge of the stress and tension accumulated in adapting to life today. We use some methods that you probably haven’t heard of before; as you may know Michael keeps a close eye on things that have been left to one side or left behind. In the head over heels search for new methods what tends to happen is that methods, ideas and techniques that created results or showed great promise but required some skill and ability to work with, tended to be brushed aside when “the new magic pill” was created. Michael collects the sort of things that worked, that got results, but were put to one side – he picks them up, extracts their essence and refines them and then offers them for your use. We have energy practices, meditation methods, and subtle awareness processes which, when put together, allow you to get rid of vast amounts of stress in a very short period of time and create new possibilities for yourself.
- To respond to questions from students about some of the processes and influences which informed Michael’s path that he usually doesn’t talk about or share during public trainings;
- For participants to gain a renewed sense of presence, strength and stability – the ability to stand exactly as you are, without having to change anything.
We hold the retreat in Glastonbury as it is: a) a nice place to relax and recreate; b) it has been central to many historical and even mythical moments in British history; and c) many of the big British mythological motifs cross over in this one location. It’s lovely, relaxing and its history is groovy. That’s why we keep coming back. On the middle evening of the retreat we have secured private access to the gardens of Chalice Well for a truly magical evening.
“The next retreat couldn’t be here sooner, medicinal, informative. A magic one can’t get enough of.
A wonderful way to exchange energy and share ideas with like minded people.
I find I’m a teacher and a student at the same time.
An atmospheric scenery that stays with and leave you wanting more.
A panecea for those meta queries.”
