Step into Spring with a 4-day retreat of gentle movement, breath, and reconnection on the lush grounds of the Origins Centre.
This is a chance to slow down, return to your body, and settle into the rhythm beneath it all - through flowing Qi-Gong, forest stillness, firelight, shared meals, and optional bodywork.
With an extra day to deepen into the land and your practice, this longer-format retreat offers spaciousness, simplicity, and stillness - and tends to fill quickly.
