Hi there, thankyou for welcoming
Hi there, thankyou for welcoming me to your retreat. Although I did come away knowing how to play my bowls better I felt an awful lot of time was spent with introductions which led to some quite lengthy conversations about what was going on in people's lives. It was around 3.15 before a bowl was played. We then went round again where we took it in turns to play our own bowl for around a minute. We had a break for about 10 minutes, a sound bath and chant for around 20 minutes. Everyone was playing their own bowl all at once which made it very hard to recognise any individual sound and was quote loud with all the difference vibrations. I'm not quite sure in what way it could have worked better but I was hoping to come away with a bit more playing knowledge than I did. I think I would have definitely benefited more if I'd have been watching a demonstration, then try myself and if need to watch again and so on. I had a nearly 4 hour return journey so for what I had learnt, didn't honestly feel I had had value for money.
You were an amazing lady and it was a lovely group of ladies but it did feel like more of a social meet up rather than a learning workshop.
Best regards Rose 🙏x
