This very special retreat is designed to create, in a group setting and beautiful surroundings, a feeling of deeply embodied relaxation before the Christmas rush...🎄
We will start with an introduction from sound healer Morag (see bio) and Seasonal Yoga and Voice coach Vivienne, and there will be an opportunity to introduce yourself too (if you want to). Then we will move onto some gentle breathwork and yin yoga (no previous experience necessary) to prepare us for the wonderful healing soundbath to follow which is an experience not to be missed. During our Sivasana (rest) at the end we will have some lovely harp music from Grace Guse. 🎶
For those who haven't tried a soundbath yet...this is an opportunity to experience the deep feelings of relaxation enabling your body to be lulled into a meditative state. The instruments will include Tibetan and Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, Koshi Chimes, Percussion, Shamanic Drum and Healing Voice. It will simply involve sitting or lying down (depending on your physical abilities and level of comfort) and receiving the sound and vibrations from various beautiful instruments. The sounds will be gentle and relaxing allowing your body the chance to really let go. This enables the body’s natural healing capacities to be activated 🙌
After the soundbath, there will be a short break to have a hot drink or just gently ground, and we will then have a chakra toning session from Vivienne with colour visualisation to help us feel warm and cosy and properly ready for the festive season.
