WINTER DAY RETREAT WITH EMMA PALMER
Transitioning into the winter months can often seem one of the most challenging seasonal shifts to navigate, and this tends to be heavily influenced by our ingrained cultural modern-world mindset. As the rest of the natural tapestry into which we are woven follows the cyclical route of retreating inward to reset after the outward exertions of the more active seasons, we may find ourselves steered along one of two paths – continuing to fan the flames of busyness against the changing tide, or succumbing to a sense of melancholic lethargy as we withdraw into an energetic lull.
While Western thinking tends to be bound by this dichotomy of either frantically “doing” or idly “non-doing”, in Eastern philosophies the concept of “rest” is very much a conscious and active undertaking in the lost art of “Being”. Here we find a path that enables us to embrace and engage with the inherent inwardly-turning energies of winter – Igniting the Inner Light of “Being” with equal vitality, as we consciously surrender the fires of “doing” into embers of intelligent rest.
It is by the radiance of this inner light that we navigate the darker months ahead, while consciously taking the inward-facing opportunity for more deeply attuning to our intuitive voice, reconnecting with our authentic Self and cultivating the self-certainty that comes from softening back into alignment with our true callings.
Our Winter Day Retreat with Emma Palmer is a day of serenity, self-discovery and reattuning with purest Being, curated to support you in illuminating a path through the season ahead that embraces both a surrender into the rhythms of conscious rest while keeping the light of deepest inner aliveness shining brightly. Join us for a transformative journey inward as Emma threads insight, inspiration and rich Yogic wisdom through a program of gently nourishing Āsana, Kriyā, Prāṇāyāma, Yoga Nidrā, meditation practices, Yin Yoga, Qi Gong, chanting, sound medicine, Ayurvedic teachings, guided relaxation and contemplative reflection.
Perfect for participants of all levels, everyone is warmly welcome to be part of this invaluable one-day experience of Igniting the Inner Light and taking away the practices, teachings and resources to support you in consciously engaging with the innate wisdom of the coming season.
