Yoga & Nature Day Retreat: Coming Home
With Amy Jennings and Casey King
Description:
Join us for a rejuvenating Yoga & Nature Day Retreat that invites you to reconnect with yourself and the natural world around you. As the seasons change and we transition from the vibrant energy of summer to the serene stillness of autumn, this retreat offers a sanctuary to find balance, inner peace, and self-discovery.
Your transformative journey begins in our homely, rustic-style Barn, where you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome and refreshing drinks. From there, we will venture into the charming woodland for a serene Forest Bathing experience, as you immerse yourself in the soothing sights, sounds, and scents of nature.
Next, a revitalising Yoga Ceremony awaits, offering the perfect opportunity to harmonise your body, mind, and spirit. Release tension, embrace stillness, and deepen your connection to the earth.
Following the ceremony, take time to explore the retreat’s facilities and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Replenish your energy with a delightful two-course vegetarian lunch, lovingly prepared with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.
The day concludes with a final Yoga & Nature Tea Ceremony, bringing closure to your retreat experience and leaving you with a sense of renewal and rejuvenation.
Our Yoga & Nature Day Retreat is designed to create an intimate and nurturing environment, providing you with the tools to gracefully transition into the new season and embrace the more introspective aspects of your being. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and reconnection, as we celebrate the beauty of nature and the harmony within ourselves.
