Journey through the Senses - Smell & Taste

Following the Journey through Winter and Awaken into Spring series, Sue and Emma are back for the summer season with some fabulous new outdoor mini-retreats. These mini-retreat mornings begin with a physical yoga practice on the lawn, with meditations and breathwork too, after which there’s an opportunity to swim in the garden’s natural swimming pond and /or to explore the garden and find a quiet place to be before we come together for herbal teas and homemade cakes to round off the morning in community.

This year, we’ll be making a journey through the senses, starting in May with our exploration of smell and taste. Each mini-retreat can be taken as a stand alone experience, or as part of the series.

Our senses are the instruments through which we perceive and engage with the world. Information gathered from our senses help us learn and make more informed decisions, some of which we may not be wholly conscious of. We’ll be exploring each sense in turn, and what lessons we can learn from them, over the course of the summer months.

Our smell and taste focused mini-retreat will be a really earthy experience, with lots of grounding postures in our physical practice and meditations exploring our senses experientially. After the formal practice, we’ll be encouraging you to stay awake to what can be smelt and what can be tasted as you explore the garden, swim in the natural swimming pond and enjoy herbal tea and cake.

The cost of these sessions is £25, including cake and herbal tea.

NB: the mini-retreats are outdoor events, so weather dependent. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be rearranged and refunds offered to anyone who cannot make the revised date
