Heart of stillness - summer solstice day retreat

  • Resonant being Crowns Cottage, Manaccan Helston United Kingdom (map)

Join us for sunrise on the beach, opening a glorious day of nourishing practises, time in nature and home made food. We take the opportunity of the summer solstice to ‘stand still’; to find inner stillness even when we are in the midst of activity, light, celebration, change; to pause and drop into our hearts together.

These cyclical retreats are held at our home and sound temple on the Lizard Peninsula and limited to four people creating a deeply intimate and powerful day.

The retreat opens at a secret beach location with a sunrise walking meditation and (optional of course sea swim)! We head back to ours for snacks and warming up before cacao circle, chanting and setting our intentions for this seasonal transition. Our yin yoga practise provides a meditative balance to the summer ‘yang’ energy, focusing on cooling the mind and gently exploring the heart and spine. Through yin’s opening and stillness you are able to receive the healing vibrations of gongs, crystal bowls and elemental instruments more deeply, into each and every cell. We pause for a simple shared lunch (fully plant based - GF available). Then it’s back to the roundhouse for a grounding meditation and closing circle.
