The beautiful yoga & meditation space in the Chapel at The Tree Relaxation Retreat
Mid-week Winter Warmer Retreat
with Gillian Shippey & Clare Kerrigan at The Tree Relaxation Retreat
Tuesday 5th - Thursday 7th December 2023
Our mid-week Winter warmer retreat hopes to offer you some space and time to rest, refresh and relax deeply. It’s our intention to create a beautifully calming and restorative space so that we can end our year with some peace and togetherness.
Arrivals and a warm welcome to you will be from Tuesday afternoon. Once you've had a little time to unpack and settle in, you will be offered a delicious home cooked vegetarian meal. There will be an introduction to your retreat and an evening relaxation session with a gong bath to settle the body and mind, and to soothe away any tiredness after your journey to get here.
On Wednesday morning after breakfast there will be a morning hatha and restorative yoga practice 10am-12.30pm. We’ll begin with some gentle hatha yoga to stretch and strengthen the body with a variety of postures and movements and mindful breathing. You’ll then be guided into some deliciously nourishing restorative yoga and yoga nidra, with the intention to help you relax more deeply.
The afternoon will be free for you to keep unwinding and replenishing, whether that's taking a walk in the beautiful pine woods nearby, having a relaxing holistic treatment, maybe have a sauna and use our cold tub then soak in the hot tub or reading and resting up in our quiet area in the attic.
There will be an afternoon relaxing yoga session 5.30- 6.30pm and then after your homemade and delicious evening meal, there will be an evening of storytelling at 8.30pm to send you to bed for a good night's sleep.
Thursday morning after a lie in (if you wish!) and breakfast there will be our final session 10am - 12.30pm, blending hatha and restorative yoga and some deep guided relaxation, ending with a gong bath.
Get ready for some super soul nourishing relaxation at the end of your year in the peaceful haven that is The Tree.
