Finding calm in the chaos
30th July
9.30am - 4.30pm
A midsummer retreat designed to help you find calm in the chaos of modern day life. The summer holidays can be very overwhelming for mothers juggling childcare, work and so much more. It's wedding season and that comes with it's own stresses and can also be quite overwhelming. This retreat will be a mixture of slow, calm and reflection with a sound healing gong bath to help with fatigue

The Venue
Gambledown farm is set in 250 acres of beautiful Hampshire farmland. The yoga barn is a beautiful and light room that will be just wonderful to relax and reconnect in.
The Day
Meditation
I will start the day with a guided meditation. Mixing music, visualisations and breathing exercises I aim to help you feel calmer and more connected to yourself.
Walking meditation
Gambledown farm is a 270 acre working sustainable farm. For those who want to we will head out on a nature walk and will do both a free walk giving you a chance to chat and connect with the other women.
I will also run part of it as a silent walking meditation which is perfect for someone who finds it difficult to sit still and meditate. Thich Nhat Hanh says we should walk like we are the happiest person in the world, setting no goals or destination. Making steps as if you are printing peace, serenity and happiness with each step.
