“What is the Heart? A flower opening” - Rumi

Late May. The first flush of roses in bloom. What better place to retreat than to a garden?

We’re so glad to be able to offer this very special rose-themed day retreat at Quinton Old Rectory garden. Co-led by Wendy Loughlan, founder and owner of Alchemise Yoga Studio, and Emma Wise, breath coach and Garden4Good creator, our retreat day will embrace the beauty and power of the rose, the undisputed queen of the summer garden and epitome of all things feminine, with a creative programme of wellbeing experiences.

During the day you’ll experience:

• A dynamic yoga practice, channelling the energies of the divine feminine and working with our rose theme, with each guest receiving powerful yogic activation teachings from The Rose Codes:

• The White Rose: codes of LOVE, Purity & Erotic Innocence

• The Red Rose: codes of POWER, Wild Rapture & Sensual Passion

• The Pink Rose: codes of WISDOM, Co-Creation & Unconditional Love

• Exploring the power of the rose as a therapeutic tool, and learning how to make simple rose preparations to support wellbeing

• Outdoor swimming in the garden’s natural pool

• Delving into rose folklore and legend

• A lesson in Ayurvedic self massage using rose-petal infused oil

• Journalling

• A restorative yoga session

• A luxurious EcoNIDRA practice

• The sounds of Wendy’s Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls to close the retreat

• Home-brewed herbal teas throughout to support each stage of the retreat

• A fabulously nourishing buffet lunch, and sweet treats and fruit during the day

You’ll leave feeling full of vitality, creativity and optimism, and with a bag of goodies to make home including massage oil, a divine feminine essential oil blend and a sachet of rose petals to inspire your own creative projects

We invite participants to wear red, pink or white to the retreat - or a combination of these! And consider bringing along a red, pink or white gemstone too
