Reasons To Be Cheerful

(Staying Sane In A Mad World)

July 7-14, 2012

There’s a lot going on in the world, and it’s not all good. Sometimes, a person can feel overwhelmed by outside forces (and inside ones!) and feel powerless and unbalanced.

When things get tough, we don’t need fancy solutions, we need to get back to ourselves, and what makes us feel centred and happy again. And how can you raise your spirits, improve your strength and develop your creativity?

This new course incorporates some of the best drama and improvisation games and exercises, combined with activities that have been proved over history to keep people sane: dancing, stretching, painting, singing, creative writing and mucking about. Take your pick from these, plus other specialists offering yoga, tai chi, an excursion to ancient villages and a variety of massage sessions. See www.cortijo-romero.co.uk for details.

Just so you know:
