You are invited to join Lynda (Empower & Grow) and I in Avebury for a grounding day tuning into the natural energy of late Autumn, the moment harvest releases its final breath. Are you feeling the call to take time to connect and equilibrate with the environment and the seasons? When we allow ourselves to align with the natural rhythms that guide our biology, life can flow with more ease. This is the last opportunity in the Year of the Fire Horse to lay down your resources before the descent into Winter. Throughout the day we will connect with the land, our inner landscape, and share seasonally designed practices, treats and explore the wonder of functional mushrooms.

In Chinese wisdom, Autumn is ruled by the Metal element and the emotions of grief and letting go. As the leaves fall in earnest, it's an ideal time for us to shed what no longer serves, creating space and capacity as we tread our paths forward with a quiet sense of self-worth.

Why retreat?

• Space, time, support and practices to aid the gentle release of burdens you have been carrying.

• An opportunity for detoxification.

• Enhance your immunity and learn techniques to help maintain it through the colder months.

• Support and expertise from two compassionate practitioners in a sacred environment.

• A deep knowing that letting go and travelling lightly into winter will allow for clarity, space and the courage to stand in your own unique value.

• Desire to understand how functional mushrooms can support you through the colder months.

What awaits you:

• Opening ceremony; settle into the space with warming infusions, grounding mediation, journaling for clarity and intention setting.

• Moving Meditation (Qi Gong) among the stones, to ground connect to the body and release (weather permitting)

• Seasonal Functional Mushroom Workshop, with an opportunity to sample products.

• Detoxifying Acupuncture Soundbath with Ear Acupuncture or Ear Seeds - This powerful combination supports release, allowing you to fully integrate the healing energies of the day.

• You'll leave with a small gift, a tangible thread back to the day's practices and wisdom.

• Seasonal treats, snacks, infusions and healthy lunch included.

• Additional option to join the host and attendees for a social meal post retreat at The Burj, Indian Restaurant (not included in retreat cost).

Join us in this safe and supportive cocoon for a day of deep nourishment and gentle release, leaving you feeling lighter, grounded and restored, with greater space and clarity as you step towards the stillness of winter.

With love, Lucy & Lynda
