Summer of Love Mini Retreat

Summer is the season to feel your most vibrant self, connect with an open heart & connect more deeply in your relationships and living in joy.

Just like the sun shining his brightest, when you connect with this element, you are shining, smiling, laughing, embracing your inner child landing fully in your heart space.

Imagine connecting to and embracing this season and living more fully in your heart space?

This mini retreat will be infused with traditional Chinese medicine and 5 Element Theory. In the Summer the element is Fire is the most active of all the elements. Considered ‘The emperor’ of the the whole body, the organ which Fire is connected to is the heart and the emotion it is most deeply related to is Joy.

How does this show up in your life? ..

It’s how we connect to people, how we are able to show up with an open heart, how we feel the spark of life running through us. The Heart houses the spirit which is referred to as your ‘Shen’. To keep the Shen healthy, shining, vibrant and alive within, we need to honour this element, learning what keeps it in balance and what causes it to fall out of balance.

About the workshop;

During our deep dive together on this mini-retreat we will explore the heart space, discovering its essence through the wisdom of this ancient healing system. Learn how to bring about harmony and balance in your subtle energy anatomy. We will begin with a learning journey as I take you deep into this element, discuss the 4 states of love and much more. We will flow, move, raise the energy (high chance of laughter) then slow down & soften with some soothing Yin. Learn to nourish yourself based on the season- expect to explore energy points within the body specifically targeting the energy lines of the heart and small intestine, which work together to balance the Yin and Yang energies.

We will close practice with a meditation, some journaling & reflection and a sweet Savasana, leave feeling content, heart full and inner harmony.

Essentials oils will be included in our practice to enhance your experience & stimulate the senses. The use of essential oils in life and practice aid us in healing & shifting our energy, offering emotional support, be it more calm, or more energising and uplifting. There will be the option to purchase essential oil pulse / body rollers which will be a specific blend for this element and the heart space. They will have a special discount just for that day if you feel connected to this element, it’s a beautiful way to work more deeply with it and allow your journey to continue post workshop.

After the practice we will be sharing a nourishing fresh lunch together. Each lunch box will be lovingly prepared by our friends at Wild Root Kitchen & contain a delicious seasonal selection of salad, sandwich, smoothie & a sweet treat! 100% plant-based!

Essentials: blanket, socks (blankets available at the studio).

Optional: Journal / notepad and pen – there will be a lot of information, you may want to take notes to refer back to as often this ‘lands’ when we have had time to process.
