Cotswolds Summer Sound Healing & Yoga Nidra Retreat
5-8th July 2024
Bourton-On-The-Water.
Join me for this three night women’s retreat designed for deepest nourishment and rest. During our time together we’ll create space for healing & restoration through sound healing, ceremony and Yoga Nidra practice (yummy yogic sleep meditation).
Set in a beautiful Cotswolds Stone House with our own private wild swimming lake, this luxury three night retreat is an opportunity to feel nurtured & nourished as we take a pause from our busy lives to come back home to ourselves.
The deeply restorative practices of Yoga Nidra & Sound Healing invite us to slow down, tend to our nervous system and activate the body's self healing pathways as we begin to re-claim our energy from within.
Saturday’s heart focused Cacao Rose Ceremony will provide a gentle, nurturing space to tune into stillness, connect to our inner guidance system and be present to whatever is arising at this time. The Water & Fire ceremonies will facilitate a space to purify and release what no longer serves to create space for the new.
Our retreat space will be held by the elements of the beautiful, natural surroundings and we’ll be supported in our daily practices by the soft, gentle qualities of Rose, Cacao and Nidra.
Everything on the retreat is an invitation and you can take part in as much or as little as you feel. The program is spacious so there’s ample time to enjoy the lake, explore local walks, receive a yummy massage or simply rest. This peaceful space will allow you to unwind from busyness, settle into beingness and leave feeling rested, connected and renewed.
