Move, rest, write: A one-day yoga and writing retreat

A soothing day of movement and writing to reconnect with yourself and your creativity.

Suitable for beginners in both writing, yoga and meditation aged 18 and over.

Join Lizzy (accredited yoga teacher and therapist) and Amanda (writer and coach) for a nourishing day of movement and creativity.

Together, we’ll explore memory, imagination, and the natural world through gentle yoga and guided writing. This retreat offers space to pause, reflect, and discover how simple practices can support both wellbeing and creative expression.

The day will be mainly indoors in the lovely Bamford memorial hall, but there will be an opportunity to move outdoors into the gardens and nearby churchyard for one of the sessions.

Throughout the day, we’ll move between body and page, using yoga-inspired movement and low-pressure writing exercises including free writing, memoir/life writing, and nature writing. All exercises are designed to be gentle, accessible, and free from expectation. There will be an opportunity to share your writing towards the end of the day if you wish, but this is completely optional.

Included:

• All materials
• Light refreshments
• A warming, nutritious lunch

Come as you are – and leave feeling calm, connected, and creatively refreshed.
