New Year's Slow Flow Yoga, Cacao Ceremony & Gong Bath at Lesnes Abbey Lodge
About this Event
Come join us for a magical evening of balance, relaxation and rejuvenation.
There’s healing in the air as 2027 begins. Embrace new beginnings by releasing past challenges.
Rebalance with slow flow yoga, open your heart with the richness of ceremonial cacao and immerse yourself in the healing vibrations of a gong bath.
Reflect on the years lessons & insights. Align more closely with who you want to be in the year ahead.
We begin with calming slow flow yoga practice with gentle, nourishing movements and soothing stretches to relax the body and balance the mind.
Heart-opening guided meditation and visualisation with a cacao ceremony. Drinking ceremonial cacao makes it easier to access your feelings & release something you might want to let go of.
A Gong Bath is a therapeutic, harmonic experience where instruments are played over and around you.
Lay back on a mat and immerse yourself in the sound vibrations, relaxing and releasing tension.
Allow the mind to drop into a more peaceful space, creating room for greater awareness, clarity, creativity and calm.
Finally take a moment to reflect on the thoughts, sensations, feelings and visions you experienced, and journal insights, affirmations, gratitude & wish lists.
Everybody is welcome - no experience is required.
Spaces are limited, so please reserve your spot in advance.
