Winter Rest: A Day Retreat in West London

An intimate winter retreat to rest deeply, turn inward, and seed your vision for 2027.

As winter wraps the world in stillness, this day retreat in West London invites you to do the same. Join us for a restorative day designed to help you slow down, soften, and reconnect with your inner warmth. Through gentle movement, ritual, and sound, we’ll honour the quiet wisdom of the winter season, a time to rest deeply, and planting the seeds for your vision to take shape in 2027.

The day begins with a heart-opening Cacao Ceremony, an ancient and sacred ritual designed to help you connect with your inner wisdom and set powerful intentions for the day ahead. As you sip the rich, ceremonial-grade Cacao, sourced from ethically grown cacao beans, you'll feel its gentle yet transformative energy flowing through you. This warm, silky drink will relax your body, quiet your mind, and open your heart, creating a space for introspection and healing. Gentle Kundalini yoga, guided meditation and intentional breathwork will accompany the ceremony, helping you letting go of the past and stepping forward with renewed purpose.

After the ceremony, we'll have a silent 20min walk along the river Thames and enjoy a wholesome and nourishing lunch at the The Elderpress Cafe, where you’ll indulge in a delicious main dish, a comforting pastry, and a drink of your choice.

The afternoon opens with a Seed of Intention Ritual to honour the stillness of the season and the quiet promise of renewal. Through guided reflection, visualisation, and symbolic acts inspired by nature, you’ll be invited to plant the seeds of what you wish to nurture in the months ahead. Just as the earth rests before spring’s awakening, this ritual reminds us that growth begins in stillness — in the unseen, fertile space where new life quietly takes root.

To close, you’ll be invited to fully surrender into rest with a deeply restorative Sound Bath. The vibrations of crystal singing bowls, gongs, and chimes will guide you into stillness, soothing your nervous system and gently reweaving body, mind, and spirit.

Whether you’re craving stillness, reflection, or a soulful reset, this Winter Retreat is a gentle invitation to pause — and to return to yourself.
