PAUSE ~ REST ~ CONNECT
Autumn Day Retreat
Saturday 23rd September 2023.
Firstly, amid lots of rainy days - the sun came out for us in style, apart from a few moments of spitting
We started our day wandering within the nature reserve; its a wetland with a number of lakes around the area. We sauntered through the tree lined trails until we came to a folly.
Here we explored our breath, ignited our senses and greeted the earth with our bodies. A further period of slow meander and silent contemplation brought each of us into a space of tranquility and peacefulness within. a real ahhhhh feeling.
We had an extended lunch filled with conversations and diverse discussions.
During the afternoon our guests delighted our senses with a number of activities including raising our vibe, havening, making our own aromatherapy, self hand massage, hypnotic meditation and kinesiology. Plus an amazing view of the river and nature reserve from the room.
After a short ceremony of a red thread and gratitudes, we integrated our day by walking an ancient labyrinth that we are blessed to have within our area. Weaving backwards and forwards, one foot after another; reflecting on our new season and the gifts we are bringing into our bodies that will nourish and help us evolve in the coming months and beyond.
A beautiful day, delightful collaboration and a definite day of rejuvenation.
