TENDING THE HEART FIRE
A FULL DAY RETREAT
AT
THE NOOK, UPPER LONGDON
SATURDAY 20 JULY 2024
***BOOKING NOW OPEN***
Treat yourself to a wonderful day of yoga, nature, nourishing seasonal food, great company and a Sound Bath, all designed to help cultivate a sense of tranquility and calm.
This Summer day retreat begins with a welcome drink and an optional light snack before we head out to make ourselves at home in our special yoga space for the day: a beautiful bell tent, sitting in the heart of a peaceful pasture.
You will enjoy a mindful morning yoga practice, infused with qigong, exploring how we might better align ourselves with the natural world as we move through the summer months.
After a mid morning snack, pull on your walking shoes or wellies and join our lovely host Geraldine for a gentle (optional) walk around Cannock Chase woodland.
On your return, you’ll find a delicious, seasonal lunch (with cake too!) waiting for you in the Nook’s gorgeous, large farmhouse kitchen.
Your afternoon begins with a quietening Yin yoga practice, which will be focused on the organs and meridians (energy lines) of the Heart and its ‘helpers’. We will incorporate Yin poses and simple massage techniques designed to help nourish the Heart fire while leaving us feeling more tranquil and at ease at this time of year.
To round off your special day, Jen (from Stillness in Sound) will treat you to a blissful Sound Bath. All you need to do at this point in the day is lie down, snuggle up under a blanket or two and allow Jen to take you on an immersive sound experience designed to create a deep sense of peace and wellbeing.
There are just 12 places available. Booking now open.
