Food For the Soul


A Residential Weekend Retreat
With
Philip O'Donohoe

9th – 11th May 2008


Oblate Retreat Centre
Crewe

Food for the Soul. In the East music itself is regarded as food for the soul and the musician is held to be the physician of the soul. The path of spiritual training through music is for many the most accessible and direct means of experiencing the inner life. Through chanting, dancing other meditative practices one becomes one's own physician of the soul. When we give time to nurturing the inner aspects of our being our daily life is enriched.

This weekend retreat is an opportunity to retune one's body, heart and soul through music, dance and other meditative practices. It is an open weekend, no previous experience is required, listen to your intuition to know whether this is for you.  

Philip O'Donohoe is a master of spiritual dance and has trained in various forms of meditation over the last 25 years.  He has studied Sufism since 1989 and is a teacher of this form of Middle Eastern mysticism.  He lives in Dorset and travels extensively leading many workshops internationally.  He is a leading international exponent of the Dance of Universal Peace.  Philip also trained in yoga and the use of sound in healing and spiritual development. A significant focus of his work is using the dances as a spiritual tool to increase people's capacity for living life fully and successfully.
