Reviews of the Mind, Body, Breath: Men's Retreat
Loved it! Every moment and every bit of it! The wonderful embrace of knowledgeable and openminded people, the serenity of the place, the laughter, the fine timeless moments by the campfire. The challenging exercises, helping me realise that I can do it and that the mind puts barriers where none exist. Liam is amazing and I highly recommend spending a week with him. As he said:"Everything is optional!" - Krass (rated 5 out of 5 stars)
I got home three days ago from Liam's retreat at Suryalila in the deep south of Spain and am still awash with the experience and energy of being with a band of random pilgrims revealing their strengths & vulnerabilities one by one. The location is at the crossroads of nowhere & now; a perfectly planned environment to relax & slide out of your comfort zone into Liam's program of breath awareness & brotherhood.This exotic oasis of Asian & Indian details set in the undulating dune-like hills of Andalucia vibrates with an irresistible tranquility & openness, which Liam transmits effortlessly with some hard work & lots of mirth. "We're almost there" & "everything is optional" may not seem like profound mantras, but in the context of our experience, they will resonant for some time to come. Without a doubt I will return to the middle of nowhere & give Liam un abrazo muy fuerte! Muchas gracias hermano!! - Brent MacKay (rated 5 out of 5 stars)
I needed to get away - if I was a Dr I would have diagnosed and prescribed a much needed break - 50 years old - solo traveller - a real change of scene - I wasn't looking for beach and clubs - I wanted somewhere 'cool' with serenity & growth - no egos and laughs - a dash of luxury accomodation (but just a dash) - a good shower (hot & cold) - oh and definitely good food and good company.
Liam's 6 day retreat ticked every box …
Breathwork - a new experience for me - breathing through your nose is a game changer (nitric oxide) - box and then O2 and CO2 extremes - (brilliant) X10
Ice baths - the above helps - as do Liam's words as you are submerged - it is a challenge - I loved it as did the other 9 guys - one had to be coaxed out after 3 mins as he had embraced the pain and was in the zone - another went back in again when we had closed up shop - great.
Hike, circuits, yoga (loads of types - in the most incredible dome - morning and night - most people were advanced and thankfully as a result were chilled with me being a keen beginner)
Throw in unbelievable food prepared by smiling staff and volunteers 3 times a day (the place has its own cookbook) - also throw in a saltwater pool that you can enjoy in your downtime - campfire + live music - and then add a large dash of treats at the honesty bar (choc peanut cupcakes!) - every box and more had been ticked.
Accomodation is brick, yurts & eclectic glamping - I stayed in a family yurt - it was great - beyond expectation.
Places and courses like this attract quality people, (and mainly those in the know and not the ones searching on Google for 3 days) - the best of the best (without the ego ;) - alot of wisdom and alot of laughs from all walks of life. - Ed Williams (rated 5 out of 5 stars)
