Join us for a day of nourishing and awakening practises, celebrating the Celtic festival of Imbolc, officially the ‘first sparks of Spring’. A time of vitality stirring under the surface into gentle emergence, like the primroses and snowdrops. We will gently thaw our minds and bodies in preparation for the cleansing, hopeful energies of moving fully into Spring. Knowing that February can often feel the hardest month it is a wonderful time to gather with like-minded others and re-ignite our self care.
We open our day together with tea, welcome meditation and sharing circle then move into a yoga practise focusing on deep restoration of the body’s vitality.
Through pulsing, rolling, oscillating (somatic movement) we invite a sense of deeper feeling and listening in preparation for the simple shapes of yin yoga; held for longer in a soft and surrendering way with breath awareness.
Before lunch is our first sound journey, mainly with crystal bowls.
We pause for a hearty shared meal (fully plant based and GF) then observe silence for the rest of the afternoon.
Weather allowing we will head out onto the land for chanting/ toning and walking meditation. The second sound journey of the day will be mainly focused around the gongs and other elemental instruments.
We conclude the day retreat with tea, treats and closing circle.
