Winter Day Retreat

Join us for a peaceful and enchanting winter retreat at the beautiful Insole Court. We invite you to experience a day of deep relaxation and transformation in the gorgeous surroundings of Cardiff’s Gothic mansion house. The retreat will take place in the cosy billiards room with its grand bay window looking onto the beautifully kept gardens.

What to expect

Creating sacred space

We will open by creating sacred space in front of the fire, setting the tone for deep relaxation and connection.

Yoga

You will be guided through a grounding vinyasa flow which will build up a little heat, preparing the body for a day full of deep rest.

Candle Gazing

Our yoga practice will lead into a dreamy candle gazing meditation, to send you into an even deeper state of grounding.

Journaling

Journalling prompts will then be provided for you to reflect on 2024, what you want to let go of, your intentions for the Christmas period, and what you want to invite in for 2025.

Festive Lunch

As the morning draws to a close, indulge in a sumptuous Christmas-themed buffet lunch provided by Earthly Caterers featuring festive delights such as:

- Mushroom Rolls

- Butternut Squash, Caramelized Onion, and Sage Tartlets

- Walnut Pâté and Roasted Beetroot Sandwiches

- Decadent Chocolate Yule Log

Gong Bath

In the afternoon, journey into the mystical as you relax into a deeply soothing and transformative gong bath- providing you with deep cellular healing and rejuvenation. This can be felt phsyically, mentally and emotionally- restoring balance and harmony.

Shamanic Journey

This will lead us onto our shamanic journey to meet your spirit animal. This experience supports you in your healing journey, offering guidance and empowerment through connection with your spirit animal guide. It is particularly useful if you continue this connection with them beyond the day of the retreat and you will be given guidance on ways in which you can do this. The added beauty of the practice of shamanic journeying is how it helps you to develop and hone your own skills of intuition and connection to the spiritual realms.

Tea and Cake

To conclude our day of renewal, we will gather together over nourishing sweet treats (refined carbohydrate free) and calming tea, taking a moment to reflect, share, and embrace the profound stillness we’ve cultivated.

Come and experience a day of magic, healing, and inner stillness which promises to nurture your body, mind and spirit at our cosy and luxurious winter retreat.
