Equinox Retreat, Cornwall
Thursday 9th-Sunday 12th March 2023
This retreat has nature at its heart. We’ll be surrounded by beautiful countryside making it the perfect location for a reset. This retreat falls just before the Spring Equinox in 2023 which is a time of balance between light and dark and celebrating new beginnings. Spring Equinox is the perfect time for grounding yourself in nature and tuning into your intuition and compassion.
Think; a restful night’s sleep in a wooden koyt, afternoons relaxing with a book, chatting with the other yogis, delicious food, grounding our feet into the earth, trips to the sea, waking to herbal tea and fresh smoothies, Yoga in the morning and evening, meditation, self-enquiry, music, breath work and beautiful people to share it with.
My intention with my retreats is to welcome people into a compassionate, healing and regenerative space. Take this time out of the rush of the world to do something for yourself. Not just self care, but a collective space of caring for one another. Connect with yourself, the natural world and each other. We will prioritise that connection with nature and getting a little bit more wild. Lets heal and liberate ourselves from work, stress or any other hardships we’re going through. Come home to yourself and come home to the earth.
“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” – Rachel Carson
“Nature does not hurry and yet everything is accomplished.”
Please note: All levels are welcome on the retreat, you do not need to be an experienced yogi however you will get the most out of the retreat if you have practiced yoga before.
Location: Bodmin, Cornwall
Our venue is a beautiful village of wooden koyts. Fully immersed in nature with all the home comforts. This long weekend, life is just that little bit simpler. We will move, breath, meditate, eat delicious food and spend time doing things that just make us feel really good in a stunning location, rain or shine.
The house is where we’ll be practicing yoga, breathing, meditating, journaling & eating all together. Communal dining, delicious plant-based, seasonal and nutritionally dense whole foods, smoothies and juices prepared by our wonderful private chef. Allergens can be catered for, please let me know when booking.
