AZOGIRES SW CRETE
11 - 18 SEPT 2001 £335
The movements of Tai Chi carry a unique power. Subtle, profound and simple, they are designed to bring you, the player, into a state of alert balance and harmony. This holiday offers you the chance to experience this for the first time or to venture further in your own Tai Chi journey.
So why Azogires? Well, when you add tai chi to, lets say, walking through rugged landscapes, experiencing the deep peace of ancient olive groves, exploring gorges or ancient caves and visiting beaches, eating wonderful fresh food and swimming in the warm sea, you get a fantastic all round experince to boost your life force and raise your spirits sky high! And if you like the sound of goat bells, or getting up to meet the rising sun, or going out to sea to look for dolphins, or hanging out till late at a taverna .............. then come!
It's the time of year when the almonds are harvested, the grapes are sweet and the sea is irresistable.
The Tai Chi holds a focus for the holiday. But it's about resting, playing and having fun. Don't worry if you have no previous experience in tai chi - this is one of the best introductions you could hope for!
The natural setting is inspirational and unique. With a fabulous sense of space and views from your balcony down the valley to the sea, Azogires is set amoungst the ancient olive groves, and rugged mountain landscape typical of this part of SW Crete. It's a magnificent place, seeping with history and where you can still feel the wildness of nature.
The Accommodation is clean, comfortable and shared, with twin rooms. There are 16 places for this course.
The price of £335 includes breakfast every day and supper for 5 days. We'll be eating out on two evenings. Azogires is about 5km from Paleochora, a lovely seaside town with two beaches. Included in the price is a charge for vehicle hire for the week, which allows us to visit the town, local beaches and generally explore the area.
