EASTER 2020
Set in beautiful Lavethan, Cornwall, the Cello Retreat 2020 will offer an opportunity to explore new processes to develop greater presence in practice and performance.
PLAYING WITH PRESENCE
Working with the Alexander Technique as a means of embodied presence, we can explore ways to find real enjoyment in our practice and performance. Making connections between our breathing and listening, we can invite ourselves to be more present in daily life and particularly in our playing. We'll use processes such as body scanning, walking meditations and breathing meditations, as well as fun and exploratory movement work, to open pathways to greater awareness of connections between mind and body.

INTRODUCING: THE EXHALE
April 27th - May 10th 2020
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO INSPIRING YOUR WELL-BEING AS A MUSICIAN.
Led by the fantastic Gwendolyn Masin, The Exhale has this year moved online and is offering a diverse range of classes - from Alexander Technique and body mapping, to yoga and Feldenkrais. The incredible leaders joining in on this virtual adventure include Ruth Phillips, David Kaetz, and The Cello Retreat's very own Dale Culliford and Patrick Gundry-White. They are all here for you to help you learn to Exhale during this time of confinement, and well, well beyond.
