Embrace your life with renewed energy and a deeper sense of connectedness.
In the final golden days before the year begins its quiet descent toward winter we have an opportunity to reflect as we move towards the winter solstice on December 21st. Winter Solstice marks a cyclical reset between being and becoming. This is a retreat to prepare for that whilst getting the last blast of Mediterranean sun.
This November, join me and Immerse in a retreat designed to energise your body, refresh your mind, and uplift your spirit as we take a Journey Towards Stillness and reflect, and realign with your inner rhythm as the year draws to a close.
We gather for this retreat at Danena, a beautifully restored farmhouse near the renowned world heritage town of Noto, nestled between wild countryside, winding canyons, and the deep blue sea.
There will be practices twice daily to move energy, reflect, meditate and come home to ourselves, alongside time to simply be, to rest, walk, swim, breathe, connect with others or spend time in solitude, be in nature.
Exploring some of the nearby towns and landscapes, we can visit the turquoise mountain pools and canyon of Cava Grande with a swim in fresh mountain water and dipping into the last warmth of the Mediterranean sun at the pristine local beaches.
There will be time for silence and time for sharing. Time to sit with the year that has been, to honour its gifts and challenges, and to feel into what is quietly stirring beneath the surface.
This is a retreat for those wishing to soften to the moment and dive into yogic practice. To reflect, release, and listen. To remember that winter is a seasonal invitation to pause, reflect and gestate the next vision you hold for your life.
Let the light linger a little longer, let yourself rest, let what has moved through you this year settle and intentionally dissolve to make way for something new.
Integrate and align with what is stirring in the present moment.
Bask in the final golden days, slow down, turn inward, and remember who you are through presence and practice.
This retreat is not about doing more, it’s about being with. With what is and what has been.
Preparing your body for rest. Let your spirit remember the deeper current and let your heart receive what is ready to be known.
Join us for a journey toward stillness and renewal.
