Dreamy Spring Cleanse Day Retreat - Yoga, Qigong, Aromatherapy & Ayurveda

Sharyn and I are warmly inviting you to end winter on a high note and cruise into spring togther with this one day of guided wellness work and inspiration. We're offering a few different options for spending the whole day, or part of the day, with us. The full day registration offers the best value, as it includes a take-home spring cleanse / detox notes,  chai mix, meditation mala, and 4 weeks of online group support work. 

What's in store for the day:

• Qigong with Sharyn Crawford (from Dunedin) to support cleanse/natural detox focus on liver and digestion - clear energy pathways before beginning detox, awaken liver/gallbladder.
• Aromatherapy for emotional support,  cleansing, and  intention setting. We'll be sampling the take-home oil blend, and learning how to apply the oil to certain points, to support the ongoing cleanse process (a 30ml essential oil blend will be  available for purchase, $25).
• Yoga with Tamara for invigoration and kapha balancing (perfect for our gradual shift from winter ‘hibernation’ into a busier summer mode) plus a dreamy yin practice to complete the day.
• Breathwork for improving digestion, better circulation & stress release
• Mindfulness and meditation for establishing a deep sense of inner peace.
• An organic, winter / spring harvest lunch (sprouts, nuts and legumes)
• A workshop on safe and effective cleasning, including insight into how metabolism is key for immunity and understanding your own unique constitution and how to optimally boost immunity.
• Creating a plan of action, setting microgoals or stepping stones for gradual transformation through self care & cleansing practices.

We’ll discover how Ayurveda lends light to:

• self-care and daily wellness practices
• food and ‘flavor’ choices for optimal health and ‘dosha’ balance, especially kapha dosha (dominant in Spring)
• movement (aka. 'exercise') styles & needs
• lifestyle options & habit mastery (including better sleep & the ‘sattvic’ modality)
• finding higher purpose in our habits and life in general (beyond measurable health markers like weight loss etc.)

By the end of the day we will create a wellness vision, and work towrds creating an achievable, personalised cleansing plan. Execution of this plan can be supported in a group coaching context for 4 weeks so that we can come into the new year feeling clear and mindful, and ready for having a positive impact in whatever it is we do. 

You’ll receive a take home bundle with detox tea & cacao chai spice blend, a meditation kit, and the workbook full of guidance and inspiration.

If you’ve been to any of my other workshops (Living Ayurveda, Balance Ayurveda 2021, Summer and Spring Ayurveda 2022, and  Winter Ayurveda 2023, or the Southern Immersion weekend Retreat 2024), this will be a perfect refresher, with a little bit of everything from all plus more guidance on implementing whatever you need to in a manageable way for personal transformation.

All these explorations, and modes of movement and rest, are designed to bring ease and vitality to the body, clarity, focus and peace to the mind, and warmth to the heart. In this state of feeling relaxed, serene and open, everyone around us benefits, and the world around us loses its rough edges.
