Not forgetting a delicious organic lunch, drinks and snacks, all in a beautiful location. In the morning, we will explore what it is to belong in our bodies, to connect with all the elements of life as they move through us. Using the powerful yet gentle practice of Qigong to open our energy, creating space for the full expression of our life force. We will be working with movements inspired by the infinity symbol, also known as the "lemniscate" which have been used by healers for centuries to promote balance, and harmony. Connecting us to the infinite potential and interconnectedness of all things. Christine will guide us to walk the 8 (lemniscate) and then move seamlessly into a deeply healing yoga nidra practice bringing the 8 into our bodies for total relaxation and integration. After a delicious organic lunch we will lie down and relax into the support of the earth to receive a deep healing breathwork session. We will use conscious connected breathing to encourage detoxification of your body, releasing stuck energy and beliefs and resetting your whole nervous system. Giving you the tools to transform and to let go of whatever may be holding you back from living the life you truly want to live. A unique and beautiful day for soul nourishment, deepening into your true self and connection with all of life. If you are interested but have more questions please contact us. We would love to hear from you. Join us for a day of magic

Welcome home to the sweet meeting of body and earth. A day of Qigong and Breathwork celebrating the autumn equinox and the abundance of life. Join me for a day retreat in the calm oasis of the Sunhouse to embrace the season of late summer and the Earth Element. A wonderful opportunity to take time out and align yourself with the natural flow of energy around us and within us, allowing each of us to access greater vitality and health. September is a time of transition the moment of fullness before the letting go of autumn. A time of giving and receiving and of recognising our own gifts. For me the one word that sums up the earth element is Gratitude, Gratitude, Gratitude. In the morning we will practice some simple qigong exercises, movements and meditations to access the deeper energies within us. We will be leaning into the earth nourishment of the equinox.
