Sound bath – sound is not just something you hear. It works on the nervous system, respiratory system, heart and cells. Science shows that its vibrations can alleviate stress, lower heart rate and calm brain activity. Sound vibrations respond in dialogue with the body, meaning each sound bath provides your body with whatever it needs in that given moment.

This retreat is for you if:

Yoga or chair yoga – In our session we will practice gentle hatha yoga also incorporating some restorative poses, including breathing, and a series of postures that promote general well-being as well as relaxation. There will also be a chair yoga option available. I honour yoga as more than a physical practice incorporating yogic philosophy to cultivate presence, self-connection and embodied awareness.

I will immerse you in a soothing soundscape, playing around and over the body so that the vibrations can be fully absorbed and appreciated whilst you lie down comfortably on a mat. It’s not about listening, it’s about resonance: when the body and sound vibrate at the same frequency, that’s when the magic happens. Sound harmonises, brings balance and heals.

Nature walk – Weather permitting we will enjoy a meditative walk together on the Topstones 14 acre site, enjoying views over rolling countryside with both open fields and trees. Nature is our greatest healer can support our physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Through outdoor mindful practices, we can cultivate balance, harmony, and vitali
