Description
This Autumn, join me on Saturday 26th September for an Autumn Day Retreat
Holding the Light, Releasing with Care
Gathering what matters. Releasing what has become complete.
A day for looking back with gratitude and carrying forward only what still belongs.
In a peaceful rural setting in Aslockton Village Hall
We live much of our lives moving from one thing to the next. The changing seasons invite us to do something different: to pause, notice where we are, and move forward with greater awareness.
My seasonal retreat days are an opportunity to step out of everyday life for a while. Through Qigong, Yoga, breathwork, reflection and deep rest, we explore the qualities each season offers us, not as ideas to think about, but as experiences to feel in the body.
They are gentle days of movement, stillness, conversation and quiet reflection. Days that leave many people feeling calmer, clearer and more connected to themselves, to nature and to one another.
Drawing from the cycle of the seasons and the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, we’ll explore the essence of Autumn.
-Our morning will include Qigong, breathwork and meditation.
-Enjoy a social lunchtime and allow time to sit or stroll in nature.
-Experience Essential oils to support the transition into autumn.
-Our afternoon will soften into Restorative Yin, Yoga Nidra and a reflective space to integrate and listen deeply.
Held in a peaceful rural setting, this unhurried day offers space to breathe deeply, move gently, and reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the season.
I would love to share this beautiful day with you.
Teas, coffees, soft drinks, and healthy snacks are provided; please bring your own lunch to enjoy together.
