Welcome to the Shifting Seasons Day Retreat. As the end of August approaches, you can feel the pull of autumn…earlier sunsets, a chill in the morning air, nature’s palette shifting towards its warmer hues. It’s a time of transition, and the perfect moment to take some time out to reset and consider how you’d like the seasons ahead to unfold for you.

I’ll be hosting the retreat with Belinda and Jojo; outdoors if the weather permits and in my brand new garden studio if not. Our time together will begin with an exploration of the ancient system of Ayurveda (literally life wisdom), yoga’s earthy sister science with roots that stretch back for millennia. Belinda will provide an introduction to Ayurveda and the way that own unique Ayurvedic constitution (or Dosha) affects our day to day. We’ll learn as well how best to prepare for the seasonal shift ahead, as we move towards autumn and “Vata time”.

Belinda’s workshop will be followed by an opportunity to take a dip in the natural swimming pond, or to spend time exploring the gardens before we gather for a simple seasonal lunch of soup, salads and homemade bread. In the afternoon, we’ll spend some time thinking about intentions for the cooler months, before settling back for what might just be the highlight of the day, an extended session of total relaxation as we’re transported to the sounds of Jojo’s singing bowls whilst you enjoy mini Indian head massage treatments from Belinda and receive Reiki from me. If I wasn’t running this event, I’d 100% be on my mat for this!

At the end of the day, we’ll enjoy herbal tea and some homemade cake before you float home with a small gift from us in tow.

We expect spaces on this retreat to fly, so do get in early if you’d like to be there.

PS: for those who’d like to start their retreat day a little earlier, participants on the Shifting Seasons day retreat can grab a bargain £10 space at our Stretch & Swim event which begins at 8.30am. A stretch session on the lawn, a swim in the pond and breakfast pastries to finish…the perfect start! Please message me to claim your space on this after booking the retreat.
