Summer is a time of vibrant energy, growth, and passion—an ideal season for transformation. Our Summer Day Retreat harnesses this dynamic energy to help you step into your fullest potential, unlocking all that is available to you.
We begin our day in the quiet of the morning, centering ourselves to listen deeply to our hearts and uncover our true passions. Together, we’ll set powerful intentions for the day ahead.
Our practice starts gently, transitioning from Yin to Yang with a flow inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine, blending vinyasa movement with mindful awareness.
Next, we take a peaceful walk through the beautiful rural Hoghton loop, immersing ourselves in the soothing sounds of nature. We’ll pause along the way to create nature-inspired art, connecting with the elements and exploring the freedom of creative expression. (Weather permitting, this outdoor activity will be a highlight; otherwise, we’ll gather in the studio for a Mandala Art Workshop inspired by the Summer Blooms.)
After our walk, we’ll return to the studio for a nourishing vegan lunch, followed by an afternoon Yin & Restorative practice to restore and rejuvenate our bodies and minds. We’ll close our day with a final circle, allowing us to reflect and integrate the intentions we set.
