Join us for a day of healing practises and inner explorations celebrating the coming winter solstice. A time of honouring both deep rest in the shortest day, and glimmers of rebirth found in the spiral outwards towards the height of summer; it appeared to ancient people that the sun stood still on the solstice. We shall do the same; creating space and pausing before, for many of us, the festive busy-ness takes over.
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.
We open our day together with tea, welcome meditation and sharing circle then move into a yin yoga practise focusing on deep restoration of the body’s vitality. Through yin’s simple shapes, held for longer in a soft and surrendering way, and breath awareness you are able to then receive the healing vibrations of gongs, crystal bowls and elemental instruments more deeply, into each and every cell. We pause for a hearty shared lunch (fully plant based - GF available) then head our into nature for walking meditation (and maybe a dip in the creek if you are feeling brave). Then it’s back to the roundhouse to share vocal toning based in the Celtic tradition of connecting to ‘Awen’, the triple rays of light and inspiration.
