Name: Winter Solstice mini-retreat
Start: 2024-12-29T14:00:00+00:00
End: 2024-12-29T18:00:00+00:00
Location: 13 Littlemoor Road, Weymouth

The winter solstice celebrates the beginning of Winter and acknowledges the shortest day of the year.
This mini-retreat is an opportunity to gather at a time when life can become frantic. We turn our backs on the bright lights, cheesy music and excessive shopping and instead take our attention inwards in a nurturing space to practice mindful movement together and then take our thoughts to the coming New Year.
We begin the day in the present, linger in the past of the ending year, and then turn our attention to the year to come.

We will begin with a yin and flow yoga to practice to arrive in our bodies and shake off any unfulfilled expectation from this past year. Following this we will have snacks and tea or mulled wine and begin to manifest what we like from the coming year.

We will do this by creating vision boards to take home. Vision boards are a collection of images or objects arranged in a way to help you manifest your goals or vision. Your vision board will be yours to take home with you. You may wish to bring some meaningful images or items to include on your vision board and if you don't complete it on the day you would be able to continue working on it as and when you wish.
Our mini-retreat will take place in my home studio in Preston in Weymouth 2pm until 6pm on Friday 20 December and if this date doesn't work for you I will run be running the day again on Sunday 29 December.

Here is the plan for the afternoon:
14:00-14:10: Welcome and settle in
14:10-15:30: Yin and flow yoga practice
15:30-15:45: A break for beverages and snacks
15:45-17:30: Vision boarding
17:30-17:50: Mingle, enjoy some mulled wine or tea, delight in each others' creations
17:50-18:00: Thank you and close
The cost for the day is £50 which includes all refreshments as well as all your supplies.

Taking place at my home studio on Littlemoor Road DT3 6LA on Friday 20 December and on Sunday 29 December 2024.

The yoga session will be appropriate for all abilities so please don't be concerned if you haven't much experience or haven't practiced for a while. This day is all about giving to yourself.

Let's join together and spend the day focussing on the energies of the Winter Solstice.
