With Louise Neicho
The end of summer can often be difficult to navigate.
Even if we no longer take the whole summer off, it is often a carefree, abundant time spent outdoors with loved ones, exploring new places and living in a light-hearted, free-spirited kind-of-way.
So, when it comes to say goodbye to summer and enter back into our usual routines, it can feel challenging, especially if we struggle with the thought of winter approaching.
This year, I want to offer you a new way to navigate this time with ease and grace that will give you some practical tips and tools to use as we enter the autumn, as well as deep rest and nourishment for body, mind and soul.
Join me at the beautiful Oak House Studio set within the grounds of Hatfield House for our ‘Farewell Summer Retreat' to:
cultivate a positive attitude towards the turning of the seasons,
connect into the abundance and gratitude and lessons learned from the summer,
find inspiration and motivation to rekindle a routine that supports your well-being,
receive deep rest and nourishment,
develop strength and resilience in body and mind,
be held and nurtured in a safe space to explore your inner world.
We will have the opportunity to explore areas of this ancient landscape that the public don't usually have access to, including 'the secret garden' which is just perfect for mindful walking.
What to expect:
This full-day retreat will begin with a welcome warming tea and a settling meditation to ground and become present, to set intentions and recognise where we are at this time. We’ll move slowly into a soft flowing yoga practice to gently open the body and awaken subtle energies and we’ll complete the morning with pranayama and yoga nidra, a powerful lying down meditation to bring us into a state of calmness, bliss, joy and connection.
We’ll then enjoy a homemade yummy nutritional lunch before heading out to the beautiful grounds of Hatfield Park for mindful walking (barefoot optional!) and deep connections to Nature . Once we’ve had our fill of Nature, we’ll journey back to the comfort of the studio to enjoy a deeply nourishing yin and restorative yoga session followed by a relaxing sound journey session. To top off the day we will close with meditation and as well as reflections.
Absolutely no experience necessary, just an open mind and a love of Nature!
