Down to Earth
An online retreat experience to connect with nature,
get grounded and recharge your energy.
Step away from the busyness of summer and spend a day in gentle relationship with yourself, the Earth, and the deeper wisdom that is available when you slow down enough to listen.
Did you actually take a breath yet this summer? Read that book? Make that life plan?
The active comings and goings of summer, the events we can’t say no to and the long hot drives in between, can leave us feeling disconnected from our sense of self and the practices that quietly nourish us.
Rather than pushing forward, the end of the summer is a time to get rooted and centred, nourish ourselves and reach out for support from the living web of life and light.
The Earth element invites us to slow down, gather our energy and prepare for the transition into autumn.
This online retreat experience offers a gentle space to pause, reconnect with your body, receive healing, and deepen your relationship with the Earth through mindful Qi Gong movement, energy work, nature connection and reflective practice.
Held in a small, supportive group, throughout the day you will experience:
- Gentle Qi Gong practices to release tension, restore vitality and cultivate a deeper connection with the Earth.
- An Earth Star Chakra activation to help you feel grounded and strengthen your central channel and energetic alignment.
- Guided meditations, visualisations and shamanic drumming.
- Invitations to spend time outdoors, wherever you are, allowing nature to become your teacher.
- Reflective journalling and contemplative practices.
- Energy healing and intuitive guidance.
- Quiet space for integration and rest.
- Opportunities to share within a small, supportive group (always optional).
A day of remembering your own inner wisdom…
