WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS



WORKSHOPS & events TO ENCOURAGE SLOWING DOWN, LISTENING IN AND LETTING GO …

SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER 2026, 10.30AM TO 2PM

AT

DEANSLADE FITNESS, DEANSLADE FARM, LICHFIELD WS14 0AG

Join me for the Art of Letting Go: an Autumn mini retreat in the cosy and comfortable setting of Deanslade Fitness, Lichfield.

We live in challenging times: global conflicts, climate breakdown and the existential threat of AI, not to mention our individual responsibilities and worries. But what if we learned to ‘let go’ so that we felt less anxious, less fed up, less worn out, less worn down?

Drawing on ancient wisdom teachings, we’ll consider some of the ways in which we can find inspiration, calm, connection and hope to help us feel more uplifted, no matter what may be happening in the world around us or inside of us.

We’ll begin with a slow, grounding yoga flow infused with mindful, rhythmic qigong forms (for more information about qigong, see the qigong page on my website: https://www.mariasyoga.co.uk/qigong)

There will be plenty of time for a natter over nutritious snacks and warm drinks.

And we’ll then settle in for a quietening yin yoga session before ending with a deeply restful yoga nidra.

Afterwards, you’re free to head straight off. Or, if you’d like to stretch your legs (weather permitting) and keep the conversation going for a little while, you can join me for a walk in nature.

Places are limited and pre-booking is essential.

To reserve your spot, please click on the ‘Book Now’ button at the bottom of the page to email me for booking details. Before booking, please ensure you have read the cancellation policy below.

You will need to bring with you a yoga mat, a warm blanket and a water bottle. If you have them, a couple of yoga bricks and a bolster will also come in handy. All food will be vegetarian but please notify me at the time of booking if you have any allergies.

Cancellation Policy for Mini Retreats

I appreciate that plans can sometimes go awry and that circumstances may arise which mean you need to cancel your booking. I will do my best to fill your place and fully refund you if you need to cancel. If I am able to fill your place, or you are able to fill your place yourself, you will receive a full refund. However, in the event that you cancel AND your place cannot be filled, the following cancellation fees will apply:

i) if you cancel 14 days or less before the mini retreat, you will be charged 100% of the mini retreat price and there will be no refund;

ii) if you cancel 15-30 days before the mini retreat, you will receive a refund of 50% of the mini retreat price;

iii) by booking and paying for your mini retreat, you are agreeing to this policy.

If, for any reason, I am forced to cancel the mini retreat, you will have the option of receiving a full refund or transferring your booking to another mini retreat (where available).

Please note: I always respond to your ‘book now’ messages but sometimes my email will go straight to your spam folder. If you don’t hear back from me within 48 hours, make sure to check your spam folder! If that doesn’t work, do contact me again with your phone number and I’ll give you a call.
