About The Retreat
Designed to help you reflect on 2024 and enter the New Year with ease and a sense of direction. According to Ayurvedic medicine, the Winter season embodies a 'hibernation' mode. As nature is laid bare, Winter calls as a perfect space to rest, reflect and to create an inspired vision for our New Years. As the days are comprised of coldness and darkness, our bodies intuitively know to slow down. However, your physical body may experience feelings of: ❄️ Depletion ❄️ Stagnancy ❄️ Feeling uninspired ❄️ Feeling weighed down As the seasons externally to us change and adjust, means that we must too. When we live in accordance with nature's natural rhythms, we experience health and longevity physically, spiritually and emotionally. ☕ You will be welcomed with an organic mulled wine (alcohol free). Inspired by Ayurvedic medicine, your wine will be rich in fresh cinnamon, cloves and honey which naturally warm the blood circulation and are essential for the Winter season. 🧘 Enjoy the 90 minute Rest to Reflect movement practice. ~ 15 minutes of Ayurvedic Abhyanga (self massage techniques with a herbal oil) ~ Yoga movement specifically focusing on supporting the kidneys and bladder which are the main organs needed to be cared for in this season. The first half of your yoga practice will be a gentle Hatha flow to shake off any sluginess and the second half will incorporate Yin Yoga; focusing on slow and restorative stretches in the body. ~ A long and restful savasana including aromatherapy with a temple and shoulder massage. 🌲 Enjoy a grounding Winter Woodland walk around Hatfield House. It is important to optimise light exposure during this season especially as shorter and darker days are present. 💤 RE:VIBE Sound will close off your retreat day with a healing sound bath and journalling experience. Utilising beautiful crystal bowls, you will be guided into an Alpha/Theta brain wave state allowing the body to take over. Enjoy journal prompts reflecting on 2024 and creating a plan for 2025 leaving you with a sense of direction for 2025. 🌿 You will also have access to the Wellbeing Table full of fresh organic herbal teas, herbal tinctures as well as herbal remedies to support your body in the Winter season. During your break, you will enjoy a healthy, homemade gingerbread man, healthy snacks and warming drinks. 🎁 You will be gifted with a luxury gift bag to continue your relaxation and wellbeing journey once the event is over. Host: Olivia 🧘
