This is the third time I’m offering an opportunity to start the new year in an intentional way, spending a day together in a calm and beautiful environment just outside Wauchope. This Day Retreat will focus on self-care, providing opportunity to consider what wellbeing means to each of us personally and sharing tools that support us in making our wellbeing a priority in 2026.
Self-care is integral not only to our own health and happiness but also to our ability to function well in the world and support those around us. When we live lives that make space for us to connect to our needs and engage in practices that meet them, we experience a greater sense of happiness and contentment as well as fulfilling our duties and responsibilities with greater ease and joy.
As yoga practitioners we have access to a vast range of tools that allow us to understand our needs and support our wellbeing, including Pranayama (breathing exercises), Asana (postures), and Meditation. We will explore all of those practically as well as contemplating what supports us individually and how we can realistically include these practices in our every day lives.
This retreat will also include optional opportunities for creative expression through writing, painting, and movement/conscious dance.
The afternoon conscious dance session will be facilitated by Merryl Simpson, a heart-led facilitator who will hold sacred space for us to slow down and remember our true nature. Merryl offers embodied practices that reconnect us with ourselves and the land on which we are. She will offer a 60-minute conscious dance practice where we are invited to let our bodies move to the music in any way they want. Like yoga, this is an internally-focused practice, where different rhythms invite our bodies to express their response to the music in whatever way feels right, allowing us to move from a place of authenticity and self-expression. This is a moving meditation with a playlist that covers a wide range of rhythms and genres, crafted to take us on a journey. Conscious dance is freeing and empowering; bringing us into deeper presence with ourselves and our vision for 2026.
A delicious vegetarian lunch and tea and treats are included. Please let us know of any dietary requirements.
Cost: $120
