Over dit evenement
Step out of the daily rush and into the gentle pace of autumn.
Escape to our peaceful countryside farm in Wijhe for a nourishing weekend designed to restore your nervous system.
Through soft Yin yoga, grounding Ayurvedic self-care, rest and warm, organic plant-based meals, this is your space to simply slow down, breathe and awaken all of your senses.
and take home a soothing self care package with custom-blended essential oil, Ayurvedic massage booklet and Yin Yoga practice guide.
🧴 Discover Abhyanga (the Ayurvedic art of self-massage) using warm botanical oils and pure essential oils. Learn key Marma points to stimulate the vagus nerve and guide your body into deep rest. Choose your own intuitive oil blend for a soothing ritual of self-love.
🌾 Feel the cool autumn grass beneath your feet on a quiet farm walk. Listen to the trees, touch the plants, observe the insects. Reconnect with the true beauty of mother nature.
🧘♀️ Let the earth hold you while you sink into the deep restorative yin yoga poses with Nana. No prior experience needed. Personal adjustments and care are offered along the session. You will learn about Yin yoga and will be able to continue this beautiful supportive practice through the winter.
🔥 Lose yourself staring at the magical fire. We will share together a sound meditation around the fire, under a night sky full of stars. Perfect moment to let go of what burdens you. We welcome sharing your thoughts and feelings in this safe sacred circle, if you will want.
🍲 Enjoy rich nutritious autumn themed vegetarian meals. (vegan is also an option)
🪵 Unwind in the hot sauna, swim in a natural swimming pond or treat yourself to an optional 1-on-1 private massage with Elaine on Sunday morning.
We created this retreat from a very personal place.
We know what it feels like to run on empty, to deal with chronic pain, to feel overwhelmed and lost.
This weekend is a gentle invitation to leave your worries at the gate, step out of "doing" mode, slow down and simply be cared for with love, intentional self-care and also to experience the healing power of being nurtured within a supportive women's community.🧡🧡🧡
Together, we create a space where you can rest, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the slower rhythm of autumn through Yoga and Ayurveda. We would love for you to be part of it. 🍂
