LUMINOUS STILLNESS

Yoga & Wellness Day Retreat in the Forest of Dean

Saturday October 19th, 2024 : 10am - 4pm

Nestled within the tranquil embrace of the Forest of Dean lies a special forest temple studio, our sanctuary amidst the whispering trees and vibrant nature. Join me for a rejuvenating day retreat, where we delve deep into the timeless wisdom of yoga and mindfulness, unlocking pathways to inner peace and resilience.

 

Embark on a journey of self-discovery as we explore the integration of ancient teachings into modern life.
Through yoga, meditation, rest, and breathwork, we fortify not only our immune systems and emotional well-being but also cultivate strength, stability, and contentment within ourselves.

 

 



In a world where stress has become a constant companion, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and reconnect with our inner selves. Amidst the ever-accelerating pace of existence, we pause to take stock, to breathe, and to realign our paths with intention and clarity.

 

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the autumnal forest, where nature's transition into the dark season mirrors our own journey inward. Allow the rustling leaves and gentle whispers of the forest to guide you towards a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.

 

This retreat isn't just a day of relaxation; it's a transformative experience designed to nurture inspiration, joy, and personal growth. Embrace this opportunity to nurture your body, calm your mind, and set your spirit free.

 

Are you ready to retreat from the chaos and embrace the serenity within?

 

Reserve your place today and embark on a journey towards greater balance, vitality, and fulfilment. Let the forest be your sanctuary, and your breath be your guide.
