A day of rest and creativity from The Slow Space & Studio Nibbly, nestled in a beautiful valley in the South Downs.

Rest. Reset. Create.

As autumn arrives and the days begin to get shorter, take a day to step away from the noise of everyday life and give yourself some room to breathe, notice and play.

Join Danni from The Slow Space and Madi from Studio Nibbly for a slow autumn day of gentle yoga, creative exploration and connection with the landscape at Innerbloom Studio.

We'll move gently between yoga, breath and stillness to creative exercises, journalling and time outside, with plenty of space to pause, eat, chat, make and simply enjoy being somewhere beautiful.

The day

Danni from The Slow Space will guide you through two gentle yoga practices across the day, including a 75-minute yin practice to begin. Yin is a slow, quiet style of yoga, giving you time to settle into your body, soften and let the outside world fade into the background.

Madi from Studio Nibbly will guide you through playful creative exercises using charcoal, journalling and clay.

We'll start with automatic charcoal drawing, using simple prompts to explore mark-making and let the hand lead rather than the head. There's no right or wrong, and no finished picture to aim for - just a chance to loosen up, notice and see what happens.

We'll follow this with some journalling prompts, creating a little space to pause, reflect and notice whatever comes up.

After lunch, we'll head outside for a gentle walk and connection with the land, taking in the colours, textures, shapes and changing light of the autumn landscape.

We'll get our hands into clay and make a Sheela na gig or Green Man relief. Inspired by folklore and the natural world, we'll explore shape, texture and expression to create your own small relief using air-dry clay.

We’ll finish the day with Yoga Nidra, which translates as 'yogic sleep' - a guided practice of deep rest and relaxation, giving you time to settle, reflect and take a breath before heading home.

A day to slow down

This is an intimate, relaxed group, with plenty of space to work at your own pace.

You don't need any previous experience with yoga, drawing, journalling or clay. Bring yourself, as you are.

Food & refreshments

Please bring a packed lunch to enjoy together. We'll provide tea, snacks and cake throughout the day.

If you have any dietary requirements, please let us know when you book.
