About the event
Autumn Cleanse Retreat
Nature is gracefully letting go of the old and turning inwards to fortify for the coming winter; leaves fall from trees and the days turn colder and shorter. How have you looked after yourself this year? How does your body feel – are you in tune with its needs? These are the kinds of questions we will investigate in a relaxed and non-challenging way. As part of the retreat Doterra rep Camille will show us how to use essential oils for cleansing and strengthening our system. You will be able to sample and enjoy the different oils and learn about their properties and applications. Our gentle yoga sessions will also focus on the theme of cleansing the body, drawing in and gathering energy for the coming months. As part of our mindfulness practice, there will be a creative journalling session. People often find that during retreats, when they have de-stressed and unwound, this is when creative energy is rekindled. You will have the invitation to put pen to paper, perhaps beginning a daily journal practice that research has shown can lead to improved mood.
As with all my retreats, there will be plenty of space for reflection, relaxation and rest. Maruia Hot Springs is set in the Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve, an area of outstanding natural beauty, where the beauty of Nature is close at hand. All of the rooms are comfortably warm and situated along private terraces with pleasant views so there is a real connection to Nature. While the weather outside may be cold and even snowy, inside is a cosy communal seating area with a log fire, while the spa offers relaxing hot thermal pools for bathing.
