What’s on offer
Vinyasa Flow and Restorative Yoga with Katya Pandian
Vinyasa Flow combines traditional yoga postures with fluid transitions and intuitive movement. The sequences are designed to stimulate creativity, curiosity and our innate drive to play.
Restorative Yoga utilises stillness to foster a deeper connection between mind, body, and breath, and offers an opportunity to practise presence and surrender. Long holds in gentle postures create the space to slow down and cultivate deep rest.
Stretch, move and breathe with Joanne:
Joanne will be facilitating this session first thing on Saturday morning, using stretching, breathe-work, movement and affirmations to wake you and warm you up ready for the days activities.
Nature Bathing with Joanne:
Joanne will be guiding you using tools of mindfulness and meditation to become present in nature, a deeply relaxing and connective session.

Silent disco with Hush Beats
Some may think that this is a strange element to have have at a retreat. But not us, through our concept of creative flow we invite you to join us for a silent disco to immerse yourself in music, movement and dance. A lovely way to finish off the Saturday evening after a feast with a silent disco to allow you to enjoy and be playful through movement.
Workshops:
Haiku Poetry with Grigoris
Haiku is an ancient form of Japanese writing that helps to train the mind to focus on nature and being present in the moment.
The aims of the workshop are not to produce works to be critiqued for their literary value but instead to take time to focus on the beauty of the world around us and to take peace and solace from a closer relationship with nature.
The workshop aims to be a peaceful and meditative experience that anyone of any writing ability can enjoy and take something from.
Macrame with Dream Weaver Katina:
During this hands-on workshop, you'll discover the techniques needed to make your very own macrame plant hanger. Katina will guide you step-by-step, ensuring you leave with a stunning creation to showcase your favourite plants.
Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience with macrame, this workshop is suitable for all skill levels. All the necessary materials are provided, including high-quality cords in a variety of colours for you to choose from.
Not only will you learn a new craft but macrame also has a soothing effect on the mind. By allowing you to focus on the task at hand it allows participants to slow the mind and find your flow.
Flower crowns with Molly Leeves
A wonderfully mindful practice, connecting us with nature. Celebrate the height of summer and the abundance of wildflowers, plants and grasses at this time of year. We will be getting creative making entirely natural headdresses from locally foraged materials.
Embodied water, movement and art with Sarah Joy
Let us connect to our water o body through movement & creativity. As a group we will explore somatically how this element lives within and bring it into form through a collaborative group painting. Inviting you into a deeper connection with your water o body.
