Relaxing at Tribal Earth
01/09/09 09:32 Filed in: Relaxation
I've just spent the most fabulous week at a small festival in East Sussex called Tribal Earth. Tribal Earth is an environmentally friendly gathering of people who enjoy drumming, music and chilling out and the atmosphere is so relaxed. The average day started by easing out of the tent and taking in the view of a stunning Sussex valley. A quick cup of chai and off to a tai chi session followed by a laughter workshop. The rest of the day was spent at a variety of workshops including Mantra Chanting with Nikki Slade (Check out her web site www.freetheinnervoice.com, she is amazing) lots of drumming and sitting round open fires just chatting amongst some very agreeable people. In the evening we were entertained by some brilliant bands.
Now I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea but it does highlight a point. Being outside, being in nature and with friends is one of the most effective ways to escape from the pressures of modern life. Get out, smell the fresh air, take your shoes and socks off and feel the earth beneath your feet. If you can meditate outside even better. Just do it but with focus and intention, really immerse yourself in nature - you'll be amazed how good it makes you feel.
