TBC September 2021: Autumn Woman
A woman’s retreat exploring the gold and gift of autumn
Bee and Su (Women’s Space Holder, Holistic Counsellor and Yoga Teacher) invite you to gather with them and explore the autumn energy of our cycle, our lives and our season. Autumn is the great truth telling time. The leaves fall away and we are left with the bare bones. It is an opportunity to find our authentic voice; to explore the shadow side of autumn and step more fully into our power.
To find a balance between the sacred feminine and masculine. A chance to nourish ourselves and listen to the call to rest. A chance to come together, to be held, to support each other, to stand together, to be welcomed in our entirety.
An opportunity to reconnect to our inner lamp as the light fades outside.
An opportunity to release and renew, ready to face the winter ahead.
To leave nourished, stronger, unified.
