As we move towards the passive, cooler months and an 'inner winter', nature provides us an opportunity to experience quietude, replenishment and release.This seasonal shift reminds us of the importance to cultivate more space to digest, integrate and restore.
If we are experiencing a transitional time in our own lives, resting our nervous system becomes medicine
during this seasonal/personal shift.
The fallen leaves of Autumn provide nourishment and richness to the earth's soil, supporting renewing growth when Spring arrives. As so when we cultivate our own practices of release and softness (when we embody the exhale), we enter fertile ground for our own involution, growth and blooming.
Our Autumn Day Retreat is a safe and nurturing container for you to experience the medicine of the season, resting, grounding on the land, connecting with like-minded community and learning supportive tools to develop relationship with your wholeness.
Our time together involves....
~ Restorative, somatic and breath-centric movement - centred around the teachings of the exhale to facilitate introspection and bring release and relief to the body and heart-mind.
~ Inspiring discussions about the energetics of the breath and how it relates to the different layers of your body, mind and emotions.
~ Explore Prānāyāma - Grow in relationship with your breath, your Life Force. Learn how to breath in a way that supports your body’s innate healing mechanisms.
~ Grounding amongst nature - Exploring the practice of mindful walking as a therapeutic tool that fosters a deeper listening and connection to the land. Time to journal, reflect and ground by the lake, gums, open skies and bird song. Soak in the fertile spaciousness of Mother Earth.
~ Wholesome, tasty and nourishing vegetarian lunch spread lovingly cooked by local culinary artist Nina Brown.
~ Deep Relaxation Practice – Develop a deeper connection with your body of sound - your subtle energy body. This guided practice uses mantra to take you from the physical to your deeper and subtle layers, purifying your energetic body and assisting you to connect with higher awareness states.
~ Sound Bath Journey involving Gong, Channelled Voice and Singing bowls. Here we experience the quality of deep embodied rest and palpable replenishment for the body, heart space and mind. Paving way to spark the rest, digest, rebuild and restore functions of the body, to access your body's intelligence and the deep wisdom of our heart energy.
About Your Guide for the day, Ruth Pirie...
"I began exploring Yoga 10 years ago during the first years of motherhood whilst traversing through depression, depletion and grief. The practice continues to enrich my own life and overall health, it fortifies a healthy connection to my own inner resource; and so my hope is to always offer a safe space to help others see, feel and experience the benefits themselves of these holistic practices.
I was led to offer Marma Therapy and Sound Healing through my self-practice of sound based and energy management practices, and have both certification in Marma Therapy and Sound Healing.
My guidance is nonjudgmental, nurturing and inviting. I hold space for others to step into a deeper self-inquiry of their body’s wisdom, through nourishing conscious movement, breath and meditative practices. I approach my offerings through a Trauma informed and Mental-health focused lens.
I am also a certified Yoga, Meditation and Pilates teacher with training in Trauma Sensitive Yoga.
I am a mumma to two children aged 13 and 11, who are always inviting me to find the silly and beauty in life, and I love doing life alongside my partner, who’s a larrikin with a gentle supportive heart and curious mind.
I feel as though I am a student of life, and I try to hold the perspective that experiences come my way as messengers and opportunities to evolve and stay connected to my core values. I like to be curious and open to how I can live life through authentic connection, courage and generosity- towards myself, alongside others and with the earth. As a lover of Mumma earth, I feel deeply replenished when grounding in her presence, so you’ll often find me tucked away or immersed in a natural landscape somewhere whenever I get the chance.
It is my sincere intention to provide a safe container for you to reconnect with and nurture your inner resource."
