Embracing Your Wisdom - Women’s Yoga and Creative Writing Weekend Retreat
Fri 21 Jun 2019 to Sun 23 Jun 2019
An invitation to celebrate the Summer Solstice and your inner wisdom with other women through yoga and writing in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales with Hatha yoga teacher Bridget Rowan and award-winning, published poet and experienced facilitator Siobhan MacMahon.

As we tune into and connect deeply to our bodies and to Nature’s cycles, through movement and rest, we open, naturally, to our imaginations - to the place where our wisdom resides, waiting to be put into words.

Bridget and Siobhan have combined their extensive experience and passion for their individual practices of yoga and writing to design this retreat to open and move your body, mind and spirit and to release your inner poet.

Through poetry and a series of creative writing exercises, Siobhan will inspire you to create new poems - giving voice to the wisdom of your body, the knowing in your bones, the singing in your veins. We will explore the power of words to re-member, to name and to bless ourselves and our own reality, discovering and sharing our authentic, unfettered voice with other women.

Bridget will guide you to move your body with gentle hatha yoga movements accessible to everybody, to find your energy with simple breathing practises, to journey within with guided meditations and to rest deeply with Yoga Nidra. There will also be space for walking, resting, connecting and laughing.
