Join us on Retreat this Winter 19-21st July 2024
Winter is a time for turning inward and exploring ourselves. Self-reflection, releasing stress, and reconnecting with our deepest truths are a few of the intentions that winter invites us to focus on. Winter is abundant with Yin energy, and as humans, we can learn to embody the season’s lessons in our own lives. Just as summertime provides warm sunlight and long days for us to play outside, the winter months offer an equally expansive opportunity within ourselves to be indoors and rest.
The Water element is alive and vibrant in Winter. In the world around us, rain and snow fall from the sky and blanket the earth with its magical beauty. Constantly moving and transforming, the Water element can teach us the lesson of flow. The Water element represent being in the flow and moving towards changes you may desire.
Your body and mind mirror natures natural rhythms, if you don’t take time to rest and replenish your energy the ability to grow and thrive in the cycles of the coming year is compromised. Resting and restoring during Winter, prepares you for the grow and opportunities of the Spring and Summer seasons to follow.
On our Winter retreat we will create a haven to encourage you to surrender to stillness and set the scene for deep Winter rest. You will experience and explore the aspects of your Water element and learn how nourish and nurture yourself during Winter and bring balance to your water element. A balanced Water element brings cleansing energy to purify the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels of the body and is an invitation for transformation. In experiencing a balanced Water element, you may feel a sense of calm, determination and creativity around your endeavours while also having a gentle, soft approach to life.
The Water element organs are the kidneys, adrenals and bladder, as well as the bones, bone marrow, reproductive organs, body fluids and ears. It is important to pay extra attention to these organs during winter. During the retreat you will learn about and experience through stillness and movement, herbs, oils, tonics and seasonal foods how to nourish you water element organs.
