Flourish and Flow: Afternoon Retreat

Service Description

I invite you to join me in a magical indoor space on the banks of the river on Eel Pie Island to take pause, breathe and celebrate nature before we venture into June and the busy months of summer. At the end of May we reach spring’s peak and start our journey towards the summer solstice. As with spring, summer is a season which awakens our senses, and the warmer weather entices us to linger outdoors, feel the grass under our feet and the sun on our skin. It’s a time to convene with nature and remember our kinship with all living beings. We’ll gather together to pave the way for our own growth and celebrate the season through a soft, standing flow yoga practice honouring the elements, followed by a slow and subtle somatic practice on our backs before enjoying a long relaxation accompanied by healing sounds. Following our physical practice, we’ll take a quick break for quiet reflection or socialising (whichever you choose) on the outside deck and some light refreshment (including my home-made raw chocolates). We’ll end with a journaling session to help you capture inspiration from the day and I’ll introduce you to nature meditations and wellbeing practices you can take with you to enjoy throughout the summer so you can make the most of this time to flourish and grow and soak in the goodness all around you. At the end you’ll have the option to linger and luxuriate in the space for another hour from 5-6PM chatting to others or just enjoying the feeling of being far from the city (without being far from the city!) You can expect: - A Revitalising Standing Flow Practice (focusing on spinal movements) - A Gentle Somatic Movement Practice (on blankets on our mats) - Carefully Curated Music to Help Take Us into Our Movement Centres - Poetry Readings - Sound Healing - Journaling - Refreshments - Meditation and Breathwork - Time for Reflection Saturday, May 31st from 2-5PM at Richmond Yacht Club on Eel Pie Island. £45 early bird if booked by April 16th £55 if booked after All levels are welcome.
