WHAT IS EMBRACING LIGHT: Monthly Retreat into Nature?

Guided by sun, moon, earth and stars.Embracing Light is a series of monthly, in-person sessions rooted in community and in the natural rhythms of the world we live in; the turning seasons, the wax and wane of the moon, the presence and absence of the sun’s light, and the connection of our energy to the earth and the cosmos.It is a new offering that has grown from our desire to co-create a monthly gathering in the spirit of a community that grows from regular practice with a group of people who become friends.Our hope is to gather with those who share our dream of a rich, nourishing experience that grows out of the regular meeting of a dedicated group of individuals; the shared experience of familiarity, safety and a commitment to a practice that allows us all to grow as individuals, yet with the felt safety in others who too connect with themselves and with each other in the spirit of family.

*****

Each gathering is a pause from the pace and pressures of everyday life; a place to come back to yourself, to connect to your body, your breath, and your inner peace. And from that place to reconnect the outer world with your own inner world for balance, grounding, dreaming and the kind of calm that sees you through your days with confidence and peace of mind.


These sessions weave together:

Gentle, accessible yoga, movement and energy practices for reconnection

Breath for calm mind and calm body

Meditation and quiet inner enquiry for self-knowing

Reflective, somatic writing for intuitive awareness

Time to be still and practice being comfortable in silence, and time to sit in circle to share space & words, should you feel the call.

There is no fixing, performing, or pushing; only and acceptance of what is. We work with what is already present - physically, emotionally, energetically, seasonally - allowing awareness, insight, and clarity to arise in their own gentle time.


Embracing Light follows the living year rather than a rigid structure. Spring opens curiosity and renewal. Summer supports expansion and expression. Autumn offers release, discernment and return. Winter invites rest and reflection. The moon and the elements act as our guides, not rules.

This is a practice for people who:

Feel disconnected from themselves or the natural rhythm of life

Want something deeper than a class, but gentler than therapy

Are curious about embodiment, reflection, and seasonal living

Value presence over productivity, self-inquiry over avoidance


You don’t need experience with meditation, yoga or writing. You just need a willingness to arrive as you are.
