Improve your health, strength and vitality, calm your mind and reconnect with your true nature through yoga, meditation and time spent on a re-wilding eco retreat, combining studio yoga with yoga outside.
The practice of yoga is very effective in reducing stress, increasing vitality and bringing inner peace. By combining these practices with a good dollop of wildness, spontaneity, boundlessness and passion, we acknowledge and celebrate our need for integration within the wider natural environment. Taking our practice outside provides a different perspective, and integrating body, breath, movement, nature and meditative awareness can make a significant difference to the way we feel, both physically and mentally. These few days will give you an introduction to the healing and transformational benefits that yoga and re-wilding can bring.
Grace Moore (Eco therapist)
’Eco/Wild Therapy points out that mainstream psychotherapy and counselling have become too identified with domestication and associated concepts like boundaries, objectivity and control; I take therapy outdoors, to encounter the other-than-human and the more-than-human - animals, birds, plants, trees, hills, rivers, winds, dreams, ghosts, spirits. Spending time ‘in nature’ can help us appreciate that we are never anywhere else, always inhabiting and encountering our own nature in all its wondrous strangeness. Then we bring the outdoors back into the therapy room, allowing it to reshape our therapeutic practice in unexpected ways.
