Description
Welcome to a very magical event! Summer is in full swing and this is a great chance to get outdoors!
Are you a nature lover?
Would you like to slow down and experience the rarely talked about sense of awe?
Do you journal?
Have you always wanted to try Forest Bathing? Or maybe you have done Forest Bathing and would like to try it again?
Would you like to learn some skills on how to "reset" your life as a daily practice and get your vitality back?
If so, and you're looking to introduce some magic in your life, then this event might be for you!
This event is a mid morning- afternoon retreat with a difference.
🧘🏻♀️We start the morning with the Meet and Greet
🧘🏻♀️And head into a very magical outdoors space where we will will proceed to do Forest Bathing
🧘🏻♀️Followed by some quiet time of meditation and journaling.
🧘🏻♀️We then take a break for lunch and the last leg will be a short workshop outdoors on how to "reset" ourselves to get the most out of life and living.
The theme is a simple one: to slow right down and practice using awe in our lives to notice the magic that exists in life and world, that sometimes we can miss until we slow down .
So this event is in celebration of magic and awe and the endless possibilities that can come with noticing these in our lives....
What is Forest Bathing and it's benefits?
Forest Bathing is a powerful antidote to the pressures of the modern world, proven to deliver lasting benefits to your physical and mental wellbeing, and creating within you a profound connection to nature. The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, or Forest Bathing, is good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness. Trees also improve our quality of life - offering relief from the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
📋WHAT IS THIS EVENT ABOUT?
A retreat is essentially time away from our everyday lives, whether we need a break from work or the children, or are recovering from a break-up or a personal loss. Whatever you need time off from, a retreat offers an escape to regain yourself, regain control of your life, and discover things about yourself you never knew. A morning-afternoon retreat therefore is for those that don't have alot of time because they are busy or have alot of commitments but want to make self care and time away with nature, with themselves and others a priority. So instead of spending a whole day or several days away in a retreat, what is being offered are a few hours of respite from the daily pressures of life.
The aim is to:
-become silent
-connect to the body and hear what it needs to release and what it needs as nourishment.
with the backdrop of nature as a healer and inspiration this will lead to attendees finding ways to deeply release blocked, unexpressed emotions and learn how to make space for greater health and vitality.
-This event is a sensory based event, which means that attendees are encouraged to connect with all their senses: smell, touch, sound etc... Attendees are encouraged to bring music that they can individually hear when journaling, or something like a feather that they can use to connect with touch, or a fragrance that they can connect with etc...
-With journaling the aim is to write whatever comes to mind: if you're an artist that could mean writing a song, a poem, or even sketching or just writing out whatever emotions are coming up for you....
-skills will be learnt to create a daily practice to "reset" and clear any energetic, physical, emotional and mental .
This means you have more access to your life force and can be healthier, more energetic and vital.
👍This event will take place in a gorgeous nature setting in Croydon, South London.
🔍WHO IS THIS EVENT SUITABLE FOR?
Adult men and women over 18s that are intent on slowing down, connecting to awe, magic, nature and others in a way that will invigorate, replenish and reset the body, mind and soul.
