Take a ‘Vacation for the Soul’ At COMO Metropolitan London This October

As part of their Urban Escapes, COMO Metropolitan London is introducing a new wellness programme this October 2018. The aptly named ‘Vacation for the Soul’ is a weekend workshop, led by energy master Per van Spall on October 6^thand 7^th 2018.

How we treat our physical body—what we eat, how much we exercise, our posture—can impact our mental state. Bringing mind and body into harmony, the two-day programme focuses on thoughts, feelings, emotions and ambitions to improve the body’s biological functions.

Addressing the pressures of modern-day living, COMO Shambhala is running ‘Vacation for the Soul’ at COMO Metropolitan London, led by energy master Per van Spall. The workshop is suitable for everyone, especially those facing emotional and physical frustrations.

Per van Spall is a certified master in the art of Qigong healing—a branch of traditional Chinese medicine designed to unblock, free and balance ‘chi’, or energy. He uses a personalised, gentle approach of body-mind guidance to promote physical well-being, spiritual growth and emotional healing. He has a deep understanding of both Western rationalism and Eastern spiritualism, facilitating a comfortable, supportive introduction to energy healing.

The weekend workshop’s holistic focus is designed to teach you how to deepen your mind and body connection through balancing your intuition and intellect. The goal is to impart smart and effective ways to deal with life’s day-to-day challenges, without disrupting your mind and body function. This will be partnered with practice in Qigong exercises, yoga, meditation and massage, as well as one-on-one opportunities with Master Per.

During a one-on-one session, Per utilises the magnetising energy in his hands to intuitively locate and reduce mental, emotional and physical blockages in the body, which contribute to stress, instability, fatigue and health ailments. Restoring internal alignment and balance alleviates these issues and fosters a renewed sense of peace, clarity and vitality.

The two-day workshop is priced at £475. To include a one-night stay in a Deluxe City Room with breakfast is priced at £809 for single occupancy.

Per will also be available for private sessions from October 1st to 14^th at COMO Shambhala Urban Escape. Each session is priced at £250.
