Wellness: The Deep Rest Retreat

An afternoon of deep restoration inside the Firelight tipi
Yoga, breathwork, and a deeply relaxing sound bath with Craig from Soundworks.

Summer is jam-packed! The diaries, the social plans, juggling the kids, all of it. And somewhere in the middle of it, the body quietly keeps the score and loses energy. 

We've built The Deep Rest Retreat as an afternoon to give you something rare: genuine permission to stop. To be nurtured, to relax, and to arrive at the end of summer with some energy still in the tank.

Inside the Firelight Tipi at Lopemede Farm, we're bringing together a slow, restorative afternoon of movement, breath and sound. All of it held to the backdrop of live music from Craig Rogerson of Soundworks, and the beautiful sights and sounds of the countryside around us. 

The afternoon

🌿 1:00–1:30 - Opening circle

We begin together. A grounding meditation, warming teas, and space to arrive fully. Time to leave the busyness of the day at the door and settle in.

🧘 1:30–2:30 - Restorative yoga flown with Jess 

A slow, intentional yoga practice designed to release tension held in the body. Nothing to push through, just movement that meets you where you are. The session will flow to Craig's handpan playing alongside a tailored playlist that will transport you. 

🌿 2:30 - 2:45 - Short break 

Drinks and fruit before the next part of the day.

🌬️ 2:45–3:30 - Breathwork with Jess

A cleansing, conscious connected breathwork session to help you let go of stresses, worries and cares. Breathing to a curated playlist that Craig is accompanying with his array of instruments to help us drop in deeper. 

🔔 3:30–4:30 - Sound bath with Craig 

We close with a full group sound meditation from Craig from Soundworks - Using Himlayan singing bowls, Crystal singing bowls, the gong and the beautiful tones of the handpan, you are free to drift away to wherever the sound may take you.

🌿 4:30–5:00 - Closing circle

We'll gather together again to share, connect and gently land before you head back into the world. You'll leave with an intention to carry with you.

🍵 Throughout - Teas, snacks & time to connect

Warming teas and nourishing snacks are available throughout the afternoon, with unhurried time to rest and connect before you head back into the world.
