Mid Winter Medicine Day Retreat

About the event

£108 (Early Bird £95 before 15 November) Release and let go of the January blues with a blissful, restful yoga retreat in the beautiful surroundings of Knepp Safari. Whatever the weather, we’ll stay cosy and warm in the yurt. After the festivities of midwinter, January is the perfect time to nestle down, reconnect with our softer animal selves and enjoy the nurturing stillness of the resting body. Surrounded by nature in this peaceful setting, we’ll tune into a calmer, quieter space within. Practising yoga in the yurt, close to nature, we’ll connect with the elements—air, earth, water, wood and fire—as metaphors for inner balance, grounding and a deeper sense of connection. The rhythm of our breath mirrors the cycles of nature, creating space to pause, breathe and be present. As the solstice passes and the days begin to grow lighter, we’ll continue to rest in the depths of winter while setting intentions for what we wish to grow and nurture in our lives. Yoga, meditation and walking through Knepp’s beautiful rewilding project will inspire us to contemplate change and deepen our connection to nature, ourselves and the world around us. These practices offer pathways to peace, healing and harmony within the wider rhythms of life. We’ll begin the morning with an uplifting, cleansing and energising yoga practice, followed by a guided meditation. After a delicious, nourishing lunch of local seasonal foods, we’ll walk through the wilderness of Knepp in the afternoon. The day will close with a deeply restful somatic and restorative yoga practice, followed by a sound bath with Lois Richards, helping us to reset and revitalise body, mind and spirit. Healthy teas and warm berry toddies will add to this nourishing day of self-care for all the senses. Open to all levels and experience, this retreat welcomes experienced yogis, beginners and anyone recovering their strength. Come and spend a deeply restful day at The Yoga Garden, gently guided through a practice of self-reflection and sowing seeds of good intention for the year ahead.
