Golf Retreat Daily Schedule (General Outline)



Contact Steven Miller at presentmomentgolf@gmail.com or by phone at (303) 551-5924 for further information or to schedule your Golf Retreat.

 DAILY SCHEDULE

9-9:50
Morning Tea

A relaxed conversation over tea with Steve where the soul expresses itself, dreams, yearnings and visions are expressed and synchronicity is gently kick-started to start the morning.

10-10:50 
Yoga/Stretching/Meditation/Positive Visualization

Steve guides a stretching/yoga session where we relax the body and mind while noticing places where the ego tends to hold stress in the intensity of the moment.

Once the body is prepared, Steve leads a meditation practice that is centered on the breath, awareness of thoughts and loving-kindness discipline in returning to the present moment.
 
When the body and mind are centered and prepared, the focus turns to cultivating positive visualization, a sense of clearly seeing the soul’s path, sending out that vision to the Universe and letting go of the way in which the Universe will bring that vision into reality.

11-12
Present Moment Golf Instruction

Present Moment Golf instruction focuses on the cultivation of a consciously created routine (movement meditation).  Steve’s instruction centers around the 5 fundamentals of grip, posture, ball-position, alignment and waggle as the foundations of a holistic, mindful approach to the game of golf.

The student is guided on the process of creating a full-shot routine (pre-shot set up, “In the zone” swing and post-shot awareness) that honors the individual’s needs and tendencies for egoic control and manipulation (that which is unnecessary to the flowing, dancing, free golf swing…and movement through life)

Instruction starts with putting and slowly, like a slow and steady tortoise, we move farther and farther from the hole over time.  The primary focus always remains the process of the routine and training ourselves to let go of the results.

12-1
LUNCH BREAK

1-3:30
9-hole Playing Lesson

With the focus on the building blocks that have been put in place, Steve takes the student on a mindful walk in the park.  We connect with each other, tell stories, share dreams and visions, process the learning of the day and gently enjoy each other’s company.  We play the course at the level that the instruction has reached.  For example, in the first few days of the retreat, we will “tee off” from the edge of the green, playing a putting only course with long, beautiful walks in between holes.  As the week(s) goes on and the learning expands, so too does the length of the holes we play.
