Spring Wellness Retreat 2024
Ten beautiful women came together for healing & a safe space at Gullivers Yurt
Jackie & I set up for a warm & nurturing environment for everyone. I feel the day delivered. I weaved in the 3 pillars to health & happiness & Donna Ashworth poetry throughout the day & at the end we had a chat around the fire with the opportunity to share ideas/suggestions & to ask questions.
I opened the circle after settling everyone with a cup of herbal tea & we all briefly explained are reason for being there. My guests opened their goody bags & I guided yogic breathing, movement & relaxation for 90 mins. We ate a gorgeous afternoon lunch; laid out under the canopy & cooked by Gullivers wonderful staff. Jackie guided us so patiently through the frustrations and joys of making our macramé necklaces to hold our delightful crystals (lovingly chosen by Jackie). A deep & nurturing walking meditation in the orchard (some bare foot) followed lunch and then time for a mindfulness cacao ceremony around the sizzling firepit ready for what was no longer serving us to be burnt. A little handout allowed us to talk about the ‘3 pillars to health & happiness’ a little more. The afternoon seamed to flow seamlessly. There were a few tears, but plenty of laughter with the self-love & time that people needed.
My highlight was nestled around the fire with the sun (masculine) setting and the moon (feminine) rising - the perfect balance to end a sunny spring day.
The circle was closed, hugs all round & we all entered back into our lives; feeling re-energised, relaxed & serene.
