Grounded & Restored is a soothing wellness afternoon for women, created especially for the midwinter season and the beginning of the new year to provide you with an opportunity to pause, listen inward, and prepare for the year ahead.
In this retreat, everything is lovingly provided and prepared for you. From the moment you arrive, you'll be held in a warm, supportive space where you can simply be, receive, and be cared for.
What will you be doing
🌿 Explore the supportive power of herbs
Learn how herbs can support your wellbeing and sample a selection of herbal infusions. Create your own blend of herbs to brew at home to help ease stress and support immunity during winter. This session will be guided by Varsha Soneji, a Medical Herbalist from Vanaspati.
🌬️ Practice deeply relaxing breath
This slow, soothing breath practice invites your breath to deepen and your whole body to soften. Gentle guided techniques help calm your nervous system, quiet the mind, and restore a sense of ease and spaciousness from within.
🔔 Bathe in soothing sounds
Close your eyes and rest in stillness as waves of sound from crystal singing bowls, chimes, gong and other soothing instruments gently wash over you - helping to harmonise your energy and guide you into a meditative, restful state. You can participate seated on a chair if you prefer not to lie down on the yoga mat.
☕ Nourish and connect
Savour a cup of herbal tea and a delicious, wholesome snack (vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available). Take time to connect with like-minded women in a calm, supportive space.
