Rejuvenation and Reconnection
These daylong yoga, meditation and nature immersion retreats are for deep rejuvenation and reconnection: to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world.
Just One Thing
The focus is to discover the joy and fulfilment of doing just one thing at any one time: wholeheartedly present with whatever is emerging.
So as you practise yoga and meditation, you are with the body as it strengthens and stretches, with the breath as it relaxes and expands.
As you eat delicious homemade food, you taste and appreciate it fully.
As you walk through the ancient woodland, you commune with the glory of nature.
As you swim in the secluded woodland lake (if you choose to), you are alive with the aliveness of cold water.
As you relax in the sauna (if you choose to), you surrender to the deep warmth of fire.
As you simply allow yourself to be present, you are absorbing the beauty of doing nothing.
As you connect to each other around the fire pit with tea and delicious sweet treats, you are warm heartedly present with the beauty of life.
As you walk back through the woodland you feel this aliveness travel with you.
And as you practise yin yoga and meditation to end the day, you embody profound rejuvenation and reconnection.
... to carry you through until the next time we meet!
The retreats are limited to small group sizes to allow for a strong sense of community and will take place in the stunning Wasing Estate
