Autumn Equinox Reset Day Retreat

"The freedom to connect to myself and allow healing from within my very centre outwards was joyous."

Join us for a day to celebrate and tune into You. Enjoy a powerful seasonal reset, renew your energy, cleanse yourself of outdated habits and open your heart.

The autumn equinox energies combined with the powerful solar eclipse offers us the perfect time to tune into the frequency of renewal and heart-opening.

A magical threshold between seasons, it is a time to tune into nature and Mother Earth. Renew connection with your inner wisdom and sacred intuition. Enjoy drinking Cacao in Ceremony while giving yourself space to focus and set new intentions. Relax deeply with a sound bath as you release and cleanse that which no longer serves your highest good.

Limited spaces to ensure maximum comfort and space for all.

Our day together will include:

• Space to acknowledge your healing journey and where you are heading

• Enjoy the gift of imagination and relax with a story re-told in the oral tradition

• Tune into the earth and spirit of Cacao with a shared ceremony

• Fresh air and time in Nature to tune into the natural rhythm of the changing season

• Feasting together – bring a sharing plate of food for lunch

Testimonials:

Alex has a warm and grounding presence that made me feel I was right where I needed to be, in safe and considerate hands. I instantly began to relax and unwind. Her facilitation of the group felt secure, skilful, beautifully natural and full of heart. What a combo! In that glorious container I found myself letting go more and more across the day, and not having to worry about a thing. The storytelling in the afternoon was an unexpectedly nourishing experience, and the gong bath took me to an expanded yet integrated and balanced place I truly did not see coming. I was genuinely blown away, and got much more from the retreat than I was expecting to.

Alexandra is a highly experienced, sensitive and intuitive practitioner. We had never experienced a gong bath before and this was an amazing day. We came away feeling completely relaxed and “in tune”. It is extremely healing and beautiful and we would recommend it to anyone, for any reason.

Simply wonderful. The feeling in the room was open minded, calm and beautiful. I loved your storytelling! I loved watching the characters you create and the meaning to the stories. To end with a gong bath was perfect. I always love your gong baths and never have the same experience twice. This leaves me a blank canvas every time to let my mind create it's own journey. Most importantly, you are simply wonderful at what you do. To be with someone who is completely real, open and so so gifted at what they do is such a blessing. Thank you.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Gong baths are not suitable for anyone who has had major surgery within 6 weeks, suffers from fits (epileptics) or is extremely sensitive to sound. They are also not recommended for women in the first trimester of pregnancy due to the unstable nature of pregnancy during that time. If you wear a hearing aid, your device should be turned off during the session.

"Alexandra creates a lovely space and plays the gongs beautifully. Every time is different and it’s always a very nourishing experience." Laura

About this Event

Sound meditation with the gong is an immersive experience that is deeply relaxing and revitalizing. Often referred to as a sound or gong bath, it's a chance to unwind and release tension as you lie in front of a gong and let the soothing tones drown out your thoughts and carry you away into a state of tranquility.

The powerful sound waves vibrate through every cell in your body, helping to release blocked energy and restore well being. The wide range of frequencies will help to induce a meditative state - even if you've never tried to meditate before. You'll feel the effects immediately and will leave with a renewed sense of calm, clarity and vigour.

Everyone is welcome and anyone can benefit - you don't need any prior experience or spiritual inclination. You don't even need to change your clothes! Just bring a mat, blanket, water and come as you are, with an open mind and let the sound fill your senses.

Benefits of a Gong Bath: Did you know a gong bath can help relieve anxiety, depression, physical pain, insomnia, stress, balancing the emotional and physical body, shifting emotional trauma from the physical and spiritual body, rebalancing and rejuvenating your whole system on a cellular level?

Sound healing is one of the oldest and most ancient forms of healing and dates back thousands of years. The sacred sound of the gongs produce frequencies that can help resolve emotional, physical or spiritual dissonance; helping us find balance and harmony. During a ‘Gong Bath’ the gongs generate waves of sound that intersperse with and bathe our entire body – both physical and non-physical, re-aligning our cells and pressing the re-set button as it were! These powerful gongs are invaluable tools for stress reduction & personal transformation.
