The Creative Pause.
Monday 18th November until Thursday 21st November.
Come and join us for a few days of deep rest in the wilds of South Wales.
This is an invitation to explore what it really means to rest.
Over the space of a few days we will journey together into a moment of pause.
A moment to empty and create space, a space where creativity and inspiration might find you.
In this world of constant doing, this is your invitation to just be.
What to Expect…
Guided Meditation: Each morning we will gather in the Shala overlooking the beautiful land that surrounds Golden Grove to meditate. These will be guided with breathwork and an opportunity to land into each day we spend together.
Movement: After meditation and in the evening we will use the modalities of Authentic Flow yoga, somatic ecstatic dance and Embodied Yin to explore embodiment. This is an opportunity to really meet yourself in that moment, to present with all that is.
It’s an opportunity to listen, taste, feel and inquire. A moment to creatively explore a process of becoming.
Through Somatisation, asana sequencing, free movement and carefully curated soundscapes Ami will guide and support the group in a trauma informed way.
Journaling: The combination of meditation and movement can create a space for inspiration and creativity. After practise there will always be time to write freely around whatever you might discover.
Circle: After breakfast we will gather again in circle for optional sharing. Circle is a powerful act of community, actively listening to others and sharing in a supported space is a beautiful and enriching experience.
Doing fuck all: We have included a lot of free time into the schedule. You can spend time on the land, read, nap and use the sauna, cold plunge or hot tub. This is your time to just be.
Fully catered: All food will be catered for, from breakfast to dinner, just bring some snacks/treats. All dietary requirements welcome.
