Now is the time to rid damp winter contractions by giving attention to our liver and gall bladder, our spring organs.
Spring-clean your beautiful body, the temple that houses your soul, expands and inspires your spirit and gets you through every day . When the liver is healthy we have a sense of lightness, calmness, clarity and connection. We no longer fall into depression or are overtaken by anxiety and anger.
When we come together as the elements do, we feel a deep sense of connection, we become inspired to create a life of expansion, intention and lightness.

About Natalie Almond - Well Being Facilitator
I have been running yoga and wellness retreats for 28 years and have experience in many modalities of healing and wellness. I bring this to you as a special gift of my 32 years of practice and learning.
I am trained in Hatha Yoga and Alchemical Yoga from the ancient tantric traditions and other transformative and healing modalities.
My love is to feel energy, flow with it and weave it throughout the retreats, giving everyone a little of what they need, creating a warm and balanced flow.
Your retreats are designed to be deeply intense and at the same time help you to break out and have fun.
Yoga sessions are fluidly strong (not a crazy workout), guided meditations take you on a transformative journey and magical circles to encapsulate the experience. We also enjoy sessions of light hearted fun such as Sound and movement, body percussion, emotional techniques and much more.
"If you decide to come alone you will not feel alone, you are more than likely to leave the retreat with lasting friendships".

Chaitanyashree
Chaitanyashree will join us on Saturday for a divine sound healing
Born in the spiritual Himalayas, Chaitanyashree is one of the most influential and effective Sound Healers originating from Nepal. He uses the singing bowl to converge higher spiritual energy, to heal and rejuvenate the body, to open the blockages and retune the chakras with existence.
Chaitanyashree’s knowledge of the singing bowl is not only based on the scientific analysis of sound, but also on a deeper, inner spiritual understanding and realisation of its frequencies and its positive effect on the body, mind and soul.
He regards the sound of the Singing Bowl as Nada Brahma, the primordial sound, the source and the core of all existence. Nada manifests from nothing to something, something to nothing.
