Embracing Elderhood Day Retreat: The Gift
Advertisement
At the feast of St Nicholas - Sinterklaas - we examine the gifts we have to give, and the gifts we want in this season of our lives. For women 55+, some perhaps returning from previous Elderhood retreats, to build on our wisdom, insight and intent.
In the menopause season of our life there are changes in our body, changes in how we are seen and heard, changes in our spirit and our aims. Let's explore our elderhood, and embrace it.
Make space for your soul to rest and maybe catch a glimmer of what next with:
+ gently embodying restorative yoga
+ guided journalling for deeper diving
+ circle to say what’s on your heart out loud
+ yoga nidra for intuitive insight
+ meditation walk on the land here for grounding
Plus delicious vegan soulfood to nourish, and a warm, welcoming space.
You can read a blog on Fiona’s enquiry with elderhood, https://vivekagardens.com/exploring-elderhood/, and maybe this piece too, Are you an Elder? https://fionalaw2023outlookcom.substack.com/p/are-you-an-elder
What they say
What a wonderful day. Fiona invites you to be where you are and to find what you need. I gained insights from the retreat day as well as finding a deeper peace about my life. A beautiful mix of yoga practice, solo space, communal engagement, gentle teaching, nourishing food, nature walks to name some of the gifts. An experienced retreat leader and coach – highly recommended.”
O, Bath
My thanks for a beautiful experience and a day to reflect on with deep realisations that will continue to unfold. I benefited from time out to think, journal, be really listened to, coddled and cosseted, wholly fed and nurtured in the peace of Viveka Gardens. I loved the warmth and peace, the unhurried rhythm of time, the enveloping restorative yoga, the wonderful wholesomeness of hospitality and Fiona’s loving and liberating guidance. As a result of the day I want to live each day more appreciatively, with my body, in creation, with wisdom and in faith. My main takeaway is about growing in grace and the freedom to be me. M, North Tawton
I have just been on another beautiful retreat day at Viveka Gardens. Fiona creates a safe space and guides the day in a sensitive, empowering way. I have come away restored, calm and ready to embrace new things. The food is also absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Fiona. B, Black Dog
