Winter Solstice Retreat
Seasonal Yoga Retreat
Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd June 2024
Slow down, cultivate inner stillness and harness the nourishing energy of winter as we celebrate the Winter Solstice.
As the seasons shift and we move through the longest night of the year, take time out to slow down and connect with the quiet stillness of winter.
Held in-person at the Nurture Yoga and Meditation Studio and surrounding nature, join me for two days of deeply nourishing Yoga, meditation, relaxation, self-reflection, seasonal eating and wonderful company.
On-site and own accommodation options available.
