SCHEDULE - SATURDAY 19 JUNE
11.00 - 13.00 Move & Feel Happy: Integrated Heart-opening Flow and Chi Breathwork with Rebecca and Brian
We kicked off the Happiness Factory retreat by opening up our hearts and Chi with a Feel Good Flow by Rebecca, preparing the mind and body for the following 2 days. Brian then guided us through a range of breathwork exercises designed to attract and receive a strong, vibrant flow of Chi - perfect to nourish that Fire energy within all of us! Together, we moved and breathed with intention, achieving a sense of rejuvenation across the mind, body and soul.
13.00 - 15.00 Eat Happy: Refreshments & Fireside Chat with Nutrition Coach Beth Wright
Beth led an open discussion about the myths surrounding nutrition and popular diets such as keto, paleo, intermittent fasting & vegan, and shared practical tips on how to combine our love of food and wine in a happy, healthy and sustainable manner.
15.00 - 16.00 Move Happy: Inside Flow with Rebecca
Inside Flow is not about perfect asanas. It is about synching our breath to the beat of music. We moved with our breath and were carried away by the sounds of hip hop, pop, and even electro pop. This revolutionary, dynamic flow class is the brainwork of global yoga master, Young Ho Kim, who takes his passion for music and fuses it with yoga, martial arts and dance. Rebecca took us through this special practice, where we experienced the power and unity of Movement, Breath, Heart and Music.
16.00 – 17.00 Feel Happy: Mindful Connection and Movement with Purpose with Rebecca and Jess (Feel Good Factory)
Summer's magical fire energy is known to boost charisma, compassion and communication. Rebecca and Jess shared their personal tips on how to mindfully communicate both verbally and non-verbally in order to connect effectively with others, and more importantly, yourself. The session finished with a beautiful meditation practice.
17.00 - 20.45 Free Time and Dinner
20.45 - 21.00 Sleep Happy: Poolside chat with Found CBD
21.00 - 22.00 Sleep Happy: Summer Gong Bath with Malbert
This evening workshop was curated to balance our summer energy by immersing in the alchemy of sounds, frequencies and vibrations of the Peninsula Pool. It was the perfect environment to release tension and old energy that no longer serves us, and create a clear opening to invite in new, positive energy. At the end of the evening, guests couldn't help but feel a deep sense of relaxation and calm, a precursor to a restful night's sleep.
SCHEDULE - SUNDAY 20 JUNE
07:30 – 08:30 Move Happy: Sunrise Flow with Rebecca
What better way to start a Sunday than with the positive sunrise vibes at the Peninsula's Pool and Sun Terrace? This session invited guests to reset their energy and refresh their intentions for 2021 with a feel good, mindful practice, all set to the stunning view of Hong Kong's harbour. In this workshop, Rebecca flowed with us to bring a sense of unity and positive energy.
08.30 – 10.00 Break for Naturally Peninsula smoothies and breakfast
10.15 - 13.15 Feel Happy: Wim Hof Method and Ice-Bath Experience with Brian
If you ever wanted to learn the science and art of breathwork, including the Wim Hof Method, this workshop is it. Brian guided us through a variety of ways to increase our resilience towards stress, through the power of our breath alone. At the conclusion of this workshop, everyone had the option of experiencing a new level of mind and body strength, with a safe and guided ice immersion against the backdrop of the Hong Kong harbour. (And, we're pleased to report - ALL guests opted in for this!)
13.15 - 13.30 Eat Happy with Suphia's Functional Foods
After the Ice-Bath, it is very common to feel supercharged...and hungry! Suphia was on hand to re-fuel us with her array of energy bars and power balls, made with love and packed with nutrients.
