Blossom and Bloom Day Retreat

Join Lydia, Annie and Shasha for a whole-hearted day of connection, creativity, movement, learning and relaxation.  Blossom and Bloom Day Retreat takes place in the floral riot of summer. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and we want to cherish this beautiful and precious time.

What to expect: Yoga; guided meditation; herbal learning and medicine making; mindful crafting.

You need to bring:

- Yoga mat and clothing for yoga

- Packed lunch

Shasha’s whole-hearted passion for the sun will guide you through a yoga flow and meditation.  She will guide you to soothe the nervous system and set the stage for all your energetic flowers to bloom.

Annie’s herbal teachings will empower you to navigate the challenges of the season, such as allergies, bites, stings and sunburn.  Annie wants to teach you all about the herbs you can work with at home, and show you how to make some simple home remedies.  You will learn about several seasonal herbs, not only via the information Annie presents, but by using all your available senses.  There will be an opportunity to see, touch, smell, taste and feel a range of herbs.  You will be guided through a sensory tea tasting and learn how to make a herbal balm to take home with you.

Lydia’s gem-scattered magic will lead you to mindfully meditate and create a tool for manifestation.  Under her guidance you will drop into a creative space and harness the energies of the season in a unique and beautiful way.  You will create your own blossom and bloom plaque as an embodiment of the journey you experience over the day.

Herbal tea and snacks will be provided throughout the day, you just need to bring your own lunch.

We have access to a kitchen all day, with cutlery, plates, cups, kettle and fridge.
