Stepping up to a new level

Stepping up to a new level

Following the Riviera Seminar is our one-day experiential event open to all and dedicated to using contemplation, movement and dialogue to discover new perspectives.  This year we will open the process to looking at what might be next for us as conscious beings.  How do we access a new level capable of meeting the ever-changing landscape of life?  By opening ourselves up to a sincere inquiry into this question and others, the event can be an opportunity for deep discovery and a catalyst for a new direction. 

When: Monday 6th June 2022
