Rest. Reflection. New Beginnings.
Join myself and Lou on this deeply replenishing Half Day retreat at The Wild Box between 11.30 - 15.30.
We will be honouring Samhain (pronounced ‘Sow’inn’) to celebrate a key point in the pagan Wheel of the Year - sundown on 31st October to sundown on 1st November. Samhain is a sacred celebration of ancestors, a time of slowing down, rest, reflection and opening portals to new beginnings.
We will open the session with a 60 minute Mandala yoga flow guided by Helena - the non-linear movement of the mandala reminds us that life moves in cycles, just as we honour the birth-death cycle at Samhain.
After our flow, we will have teas and plenty of vegan snacks and we will gather in a creative workshop to learn how to lay the foundations of an altar, the elemental theory of an altar and how to weave ritual into your everyday to honour the playground that is life. We will move through guided journalling, a releasing ritual and calling in the seeds of ideas that will be planted in the darker months.
After our altar-creation workshop, Lou will guide us through a deeply restorative practice with group Reiki (energy healing). This practice will be grounding and nourishing, holding floor-based poses for several minutes, supported by blankets and bolsters designed to soothe your nervous system & receive an energetic top up with Reiki healing.
Please arrive promptly to be on your mat for 11.30am and drop us an email with any other questions to helena.rose.murphy@gmail.com
