As the stillness and inert nature of winter slowly begin to yield and give way to the vibrancy and dynamism of Spring, we  explore how the season surges through nature as well as ourselves.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is associated with the element of Wood. Having been nourished and nurtured by the element of Water over the Winter, Wood can now emerge into Spring where it can flourish and grow. Seeds that were planted and previously hidden now begin to push forth through the earth, towards the warmth and energy of the Sun. 

Spring is very much a time of transformation, of new ideas, hope and manifestation. During the introspection of Winter, we are gifted with a beautiful opportunity to withdraw and look within, enquiring and seeking out what no longer serving us. With trust, grace and acceptance we let it fall away. Now we begin again. There is re-birth, expansion, growth and vibrancy. 

In this day retreat, Heather and Rachael will guide you through intention setting rituals, skilfully-crafted yoga sequences that tap into the optimism and dynamism of Spring, as well as deeply nourishing restorative sequences. There will be time for reflection, connection and expression. Essential oils, breathwork, mudra, mantra and Yoga Nidra will add an additional layer of potency and magic to our practice. We'll also provide a light lunch. 

The setting for the reatreat is the idyllic St Francis House in Hemingford Grey. Once home to monks on retreat, St Francis House is now an exquisite family home and shoot location set in the most beautiful gardens. We cannot wait to share this sacred day retreat with you at such a gorgeous location. 

Price: £65 (includes a light lunch)
