Very exciting to be gathering again for our 4th year in a row for the Winter Solstice Day retreat at Top Farm.

Every year the gathering has been amazing and also different, seeing familiar faces return to join us and new faces every year. This day is designed to hold you on your own personal journey throughout the day, possibly exploring a range of emotions being released from the year, they may include grief and sadness, this is a perfect space for this. There will be moments of great peace that comes with this. There will certainly be emotions of joy and connection as we gather in heart centred connection and celebrate the year behind us. Even if that celebration is the letting go of a troubling time.

The morning will start at 7am with Hot Drinks for those wanting to enjoy the Sunrise Meditation. From 7.30am-8.30am there will be a warm fire burning and chairs for you to sit in Silence taking in the Easterly Sky from inside the Glass House as you get to spectate the Dawn Sky change in colour from dark to light. Actual Sun Rise being around 8.15am. This is a beautiful personal time of reflection and self realisation. Gifting a rare peaceful moment in a hectic world, especially at this time of year.

For those who attend the Sunrise Meditation, a Hot Breakfast is served inside, Warming Winter Oats with cooked or raw Fruit, Tahini/Nut Butters and plenty of Hot Drinks too. With time to connect around the dining table or opportunity to continue your silent reflection round the fire or taking a walk.

10am will see everyone else arrived and we take our places on our mats, opening the day to come with an outline of what we will be guided through together, what you are free to explore within yourselves and as a collective. Sun Salutations are a Yoga Vinyasa Routine that welcomes Pranic Sun Light Energy into the body. We will join as a group to start the practice together, with varying styles to suit every ability. Stopping the practice whenever you feel you have reached your limit. It is also possible to enjoy an adapted version of the Sun Salutation practice from a seated or Meditation position for anyone who feels the call to join the day Retreat yet physically restricted to completed the Vinyasa. Not to worry, there is always an option.

Finishing the Sun Salutations with a Guided Meditation to allow the light to fill the body, on a cellular level, opening the heart space.

Closing the morning with a short Sharing Circle to bring connection to the group before we joy an afternoon together.

12.30pm We get to enjoy an hour of Feasting together in the Festively Decorated Dining Room. Hot Roasted Veg Soup with Breads and Cheeses always options for G.F and Vegan. Pickles and Ferments sides to accompany the meal. Also Hot Drinks and sweet treats for after. Always plenty to choose from.

From 1.30pm we will then gather round the Fire to embark on a Shared Fire Ceremony. Bringing together each persons experience of the year, holding space and learning from other perspectives with an open heart. Ceremonially releasing what no longer serves you from the year gone by and calling in what you vision for the year ahead. Always a powerful experience shared together with love and joy.

3.30pm Finishing the day with a Guided Sun Set Meditation as we witness the sky change colour above us and close our time together
