Join Fiona and Kat for a transformativeday in a private woodland setting, celebrating Lammas and the first harvest. As we gather among the trees, you'll experience a blend of ancient practices and modern wellness techniques, honouring the seasonal shift from summer's active fire energy to late summer’s grounding earth energy.
We'll begin with a meditation practice surrounded by the natural sounds of the forest. Take time to settle into the peaceful woodland environment and connect with the harvest energy of the season.
Flow through gentle Qi gong movements that help you tune into the natural rhythms around you. These mindful exercises will strengthen your connection to the earth and align you with the grounding energy of Lammas.
Our fire ceremony marks the heart of the gathering, honouring the harvest season and the balance between light and the approaching darker months. This ritual offers space tofeel gratitude for all the blessings in your life, while letting go of what no longer serves you and seeing intentions rooted in earth's nurturing energy.
Breath work sessions will sync your breathing with the forest's rhythm, opening pathways for life-force energy to flow through your body and connecting you with the wisdom of the harvest season.
A a delicious vegan feast will be offered at lunchtime and plenty of time to just relax, chat, enjoy the beautiful surroundings .
After lunch we will be doing some energy exercises that heighten your awareness of the subtle forces flowing through both the woodland and within yourself, creating deeper connection between your inner landscape and the natural world around you.
The day concludes with a Gong bath where sound waves flow through the woodland space, helping to reset your energy and leave you feeling harmoniously connected to nature.
This harvest gathering brings together ancient wisdom and contemporary wellness practices in harmony with the natural world during this meaningful seasonal transition.
Space is limited to ensure an intimate and personalised experience. Reserve your place today.
