Strong Back, Soft Front: A Journey to Your Centre
Discover the relationship between resilience, equanimity and self-compassion
16th-19th May, Holwell Holistic Retreat in Devon
Strong back, soft front.
Strong back, soft front is a phrase associated with a Zen Buddhist teacher Roshi Joan Halifax describing our ability to cultivate a relationship between equanimity and compassionate.
Strong back aspires us to stay grounded and strong while maintaining calmness of the heart/mind. Soft front allows us open to life as it is - pleasant, unpleasant or neutral.
During our retreat you will have a chance to explore how Forrest Yoga, Qigong and Meditation can support you in cultivating a strong back and side front.
What’s included?
-
3 nights amidst the serene countryside, immerse yourself in the healing embrace of nature and reconnect with your true essence.
-
Each day invites you to deepen your practice through meditation, breathwork, Yoga, and Qigong, guided by skilled facilitators who create a nurturing space for transformation.
-
You’ll be held in an environment that fosters rest, self-reflection, and authentic connection with a like-minded community of seekers.
-
Cold water immersion, awakening vitality and resilience + saunas, offering a space for purification and renewal

Forrest Yoga
Forrest Yoga is a physical, internally focused Ceremonial yoga practice that emphasises how to carry a transformative experience from the yoga mat into daily life. Four core pillars of the Forrest Yoga are: breath, integrity, strength and spirit.
Forrest Yoga teaches you to become proficient at safely tailoring each pose to work for you, specifically with physical and emotional injuries. By learning to work honestly at your edges, you make possible for integrity, self-awareness and playful curiosity to become part of your daily life.
Qigong
A Chinese healing art that incorporates intentional movement, meditation, breathwork and visualisations.
Qigong teaches us proficiency. By focusing on form and technique we begin to develop precision and strong body-mind connection. Deliberate movement improves balance, teaches us control, builds stamina and regulates the nervous system.
Qigong doesn't challenge better time under tension (think presses, hangs) but it dares you to be here, now.
