Announcing final events for 2023
and an exciting new offering for 2024!
For many of us, rather than turning inwards and following our instincts to hibernate through long dark nights, we please and perform, often confronted with the triggers of extended family relations. To offer some support and balance, I have three events before the end of the year which include movement and stillness, silence and sharing, true presence and deeply loving attention. All ways to remain steady yet relaxed, grounded yet open, through these last weeks of the year. I’m also excited to tell you about new yoga, meditation and nature immersion daylong retreats in 2024 - see below.
Silent Meditation Day Retreat
This Saturday November 25th, join us for a day of silence, meditation and celebration of the preciousness of life. During the day, we will interweave meditation practice, teachings on the dharma and q&a. As well as traditional seated meditation, there will be opportunities for nature meditation, walking meditation, interpersonal meditation and simple movement meditation. This is an opportunity to unplug from technology, put down your to-do list, relax any anxious or obsessive fussing, and unconditionally, uninhibitedly be yourself for a day. You will take away some practical suggestions for how to carry this preciousness back into daily life. More info here and register here.
Yoga Workshop
On Saturday December 9th, join us for an afternoon of yoga and meditation with a focus on belonging. You will feel energised and enlivened as you discover how it feels to belong to your body, to the support of community, to the earth below and to the sky above. Most of all, you will leave feeling that you belong to your heart’s deepest expression, ready to honour its radiant truth. More info here and register here. (These workshops often fill up so book your place soon!)
Week of Daily Meditations
This will be followed by a week of online daily meditations from Monday December 11th - Friday December 15th, 7-8am GMT (or recorded), to support you with whatever might unfold over the holidays for you. You will discover how to embrace challenging emotions with love, safety and gentleness, so that you are no longer so compelled to either suppress them or react from them in ways you later regret. More info here and register here.
*New* Yoga, Meditation and Nature Immersion Day Retreats in 2024!
I am overjoyed to have found the perfect place to offer day retreats near London where, alongside active yoga, yin yoga and meditation, we can also be fully immersed in exceptional nature - including wild swimming in a secluded woodland lake, a lakeside sauna and walks in ancient woodland! The intention of these days is deep rejuvenation and reconnection: to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world. The focus is to discover the joy and fulfilment of doing just one thing at any one time: wholeheartedly present with whatever is emerging. These very special days are limited to small group sizes to allow for a strong sense of community so book your place soon! The first two dates in 2024 are Saturday February 24th and Saturday April 27th. More info here or email me to reserve your place.
I very much hope we can come together to say a gentle farewell to a tumultuous 2023 and invite in the clarity, strength, compassion, wisdom and delight so needed and deserved for 2024!
Hi Ayala. All booked for December 9th. Can’t wait to meet you in person 🥰
