Retreats & Workshops
When life is foggy, path is unclear and mind is dull, remember your breath. It has the power to give you the peace. It has the power to resolve the unsolved equations of life. — Amit Ray
SERENITY CIRCLE
YOGA & WELLNESS
DAY RETREAT
The quality of being peaceful and calm.
In our fast-paced world, we are all experiencing disconnection – from our sense of self, community, spirituality, and nature. As our society becomes more fragmented, people are increasingly asking: “How can I re-establish my sense of connection, and identify with something larger than myself?” Our Retreats were born from the desire to nurture an alternative way of experiencing life, one that transcends the material world dominated by egoism, loneliness, and disconnect, and establishes an authentic experience underpinned by mindfulness towards the self, each other, and the environment. Francesca and myself offer you the opportunity to experience what it is like to be part of an authentic spiritual yoga community.” Our Day Retreat role models a practical balance between the material and spiritual worlds, providing an inclusive space for you to deepen your experience of spirituality, health, wellbeing, and happiness. Offering Day Retreats throughout the year Francesca and I endeavour to facilitates restorative healing, supporting you to access a higher level of self-awareness and personal alignment, and inspiring you to integrate elements of mindfulness, sustainability, and spiritual practice into your own life in pursuit of a peaceful life.

The day will include nourishing vegetarian food, gentle yoga, pranayama, yoga nidra, meditation, sound bath and mindful creative activities exploring self-care, gratitude and self-awareness.
