Expansive heart - summer solstice day retreat

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

Join us for morning meditation in nature and wild swim, opening a glorious day of nourishing practises, supportive community and home made food. We take the opportunity of the summer solstice to celebrate light, expansion and 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 location with a silent walk, meditation and (optional of course sea/ river swim)! We head back to ours for chai and snacks, sharing in circle 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 delicious shared lunch (fully plant based - GF available). Then it’s back to the roundhouse where we will chant 108 healing mantras around the fire and have our closing circle.
