🍂 Autumn Equinox Half Day Retreat Sunday 20th Sept | 2:00–6:00 PM

Come join Aoife Murphy (@empoweredbyaoife) & Gina Lynegaard (@bodymind_with_gina) this Autumn Equinox for a grounding and restorative half-day retreat. You’re invited to slow down, come back to yourself, and gently realign mind, body & spirit as we transition into a new season 🍂

Celebrate the balance of light and dark with an afternoon of nourishing yoga flow, guided breathwork, a heart-opening cacao ceremony, reflective journaling, wholesome snacks, and a deeply restorative sound bath. You’ll be fully supported in a calm, welcoming space designed for rest, release, and reconnection 🤎

Together, we’ll honour the changing season through reflection, gratitude, and intentional letting go, creating space for clarity, balance, and renewal 🌿

🌿 Grounding Yoga Flow

🥗 Nourishing Snack Break

Seasonal fruit, bliss balls, nuts and tea to refuel while connecting with other likeminded people in our sacred space.

🔔 Healing Sound Journey

 Lie back and receive a deeply relaxing sound bath with crystal bowls, chimes, drum and voice, supporting energetic balance and integration.

Please note that we will be sharing a ceremonial level of cacao prepared with oat milk & honey. If you are allergic to anything please let me know.  Additionally, If you are taking MAOIs, pregnant or breastfeeding or have a heart condition please let us know in advance so we can adjust your amount of Cacao.

Things to avoid

[Day before]:

• Alcohol if possible because it's dehydrating, strains the liver, and dulls cognition. Staying clear helps your body fully absorb the cacao and keeps the third eye and crown chakras open for a deeper journey

[Day of]: 

• Caffeine as it may be over-stimulating and affect your connection to the Cacao. 

• Dairy in the hours before as it prevents the stomach lining from absorbing the Cacao. 

• Big meals - only a light lunch is recommended.

There is a 72 hour cancellation policy.
