Relax & Restore Retreat March


On Saturday we held another Relax & Restore Retreat Day with Laura from The Wellbeing Feeling.

It was a lovely relaxing day and great fun.


We started the morning with a gentle flow yoga session and meditation.


Followed by a delicious lunch.

The theme of the retreat was "Sowing the Seed", whether quite literally sowing seeds, eating seeds and psychologically planting seeds of thought etc


Seeds have many dietary benefits, and are great added to our cereal in the morning, our salads at lunchtime, our cakes and bakes at tea time, and our casseroles and pies.

I made a vegetarian cottage pie, very vibrant thanks to the beetroot!



With a winter slaw salad, with an extra sprinkling of seeds and a tahini dressing.


After lunch Laura took everyone into the woods for a mindfulness walk, some meditation and lots of chat!



And they returned to sowing seeds, which was fun, coir pots and interesting seed mixes.





And after all that exhausting work (!) it was time for relaxation and a good lie down.

Finishing with a wonderful Yoga Nidra session

(More than one person fell asleep!)


If you would like to join us on our next Retreat Day, we are holding one on Saturday 5 May.

11:30am - 4:30pm
£75

A great start to the Autumn Term

A lovely relaxing class with Laura.
