About Deep Rest Retreat
Deep Rest is a mini retreat designed to restore your nervous system and reverse the effects of stress. The retreat will consist of guided relaxation, gentle hatha, calming exercises, breath work and the highly restorative practice of yoga nidra.
Stress depletes our sensitive bodies: leading to illness, unhappiness or low energy. The practices in this mini-retreat are designed to restore the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the system responsible for rest, recovery, cell growth and tissue renewal.
Deep relaxation is essential for a balanced and healthy body. This retreat is
an opportunity to allow your body, heart and mind to be completely relaxed, restored and
refreshed.

About Heartfulness Retreat
Heartfulness Mini Retreat is an opportunity to take a time out from your busy life to rest, reconnect to your inner wisdom, connect deeply to yourself and others, and to reflect on the state of your heart and mind.
Daily life rarely affords us the opportunity to be open-hearted. In order to run our errands, survive in the workplace, manage a household, and achieve all that needs to be done, we often reside in states of frustration, impatience, multi-tasking busy minded-ness. Our cognitive thinking minds get over worked, while our capacity to simply rest and BE in states of peace and calm becomes rare.
When we carve out time to notice what is present, to feel our breaths, to listen and speak to each other with care, space opens up and the heart softens. Heartfulness Mini Retreat is a chance to undo the habitual madness of daily life and rest in openness, calm and peace.
The retreat will be a blend of heart centred mindfulness practices including:
+ Deliciously slow mindful movement
+ Guided gentle meditation
- Being present to the five senses, plus exploring the sixth
- Investigating what is difficult in our lives as a way of reducing stress
- Mindful communication exercises
- Mindful listening with crystal sound bowls
- Compassion and kindness cultivation practices
