End of Summer Half Day Retreat at The Quaives
Advertisement
Due to demand and after the success of the last day retreat, we're back for one last opportunity to slow down together before the summer ends.
To celebrate the end of summer, come home to yourself. An afternoon of movement, stillness, nourishment and deep rest - set amongst 19 acres of living grounds, with a fresh water stream, secret gardens and the golden light of late summer.
THE ARC OF THE AFTERNOON:
- Arrivals & Welcome Juice
Settle in, meet the group and take in the grounds before we begin.
- Yin Yang Yoga
Held in the secret garden. We begin with yang - active, flowing movement to build warmth and energy - before slowing into yin - long-held, supported postures that settle the body and nervous system, the perfect preparation for the sound bath that follows.
- Multi-Instrumental Sound Bath
An immersive sound journey in the open grounds (weather permitting), with Himalayan singing bowls, gongs and a range of other instruments. Lie back, get comfortable and let the sound do the work.
- Homemade Nutritious Snacks & Refreshments
Gather in the Saloon for homemade snacks and refreshments, made by Ellie - who draws on her training at the College of Naturopathic Medicine and the Ayurveda Institute to create food that genuinely nourishes. Time to sit, chat and refuel.
- Explore & Wild Swim
The rest of the afternoon is yours. Wander the 19 acres - secret gardens, meadow and winding paths - or walk through the field to Wickhambreaux weir for a wild swim or dip in the fresh water stream.
