WEEKEND RETREAT ON THE PEMBROKESHIRE COAST - ST DAVID'S
Dates coming soon!
Part of one of Britain's only true coastal National Parks, the Pembrokeshire landscape is spectacular. With sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and secluded caves, not only is this area a paradise for the wildlife enthusiast, it is also hugely popular with artists. St Non's is a lovely retreat house, run by nuns and built on a cliff, overlooking the sea. Next to the house is the tiny chapel of Our Lady and St Non (mother of St David).
Also, very close by, is St Non's well, considered a sacred site. The water here is believed to have healing and miraculous powers! Pictures from the October 2006 and August 2007 courses can be seen in the Gallery.
TAIJIWUXIGONG WEEKEND IN SNOWDONIA

'Spontaneous movement for Health and Happiness'
This course is open to all, regardless of age, experience or physical ability. Taijiwuxigong exercises operate on many levels and are therefore suitable for the beginner and those wishing to deepen their existing practice.
THE VENUE
Trigonos is set in the Nantlle valley in Snowdonia National Park. With stunning scenery, exellent accomodation and eighteen acres of land, including flower gardens, pastures, coppices and streams, Trigonos provides an inspiring venue. Looking across the lake, in front of the main house, you can see up to the Nantlle Ridge and Snowdon. This is a landscape permeated with legends of King Arthur and stories from the Mabinogi (Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, Branwen, the daughter of Llyr, Manawydan, son of Llyr, and Math, the son of Mathanwy- Celtic druidic thoughtworld). Visitors are welcome to explore. Mount Snowdon is approximately eight miles away and the surroundings are just simply spectacular (Try the Llanberis Pass).
