Spring into Summer
Living in tune with the rhythm of nature and internal seasons is a key value at Viveka Gardens.
This quarter transitions from the beginning sense of Spring to the growth, expansion and long days of Summer. From blossom to full flowering. How does that energy resonate in us?
With restorative yoga, yoga nidra, meditation walk on the land, journalling, circle and yummy vegan soulfood, a day retreat at Viveka Gardens gives nourishment and new perspective. There’s a warm and welcome space, and experienced and intuitive holding from Fiona, owner and host.
June 13 Transitions Day Retreat
For women who find themselves at an inbetween time
It could be some kind of loss (work, relationship, bereavement or health, for instance) or simply feeling stuck and wanting to make a change. You’ve had to let go of something, or someone, but you’re not quite ready to move on. A limbo place needs sitting with, and maybe glimmers arise.
June 20 Perimenopause Day Retreat at Solstice
For women who want to grow into the next stage of life with curiosity, creativity and consciousness
Changes are happening in your body-mind. It’s confusing and uncomfortable, to say the least. It can feel lonely. This retreat will help you to embrace the change and see it as an opportunity.
July 25 Radical Rest Day Retreat
For women who are tired
It’s the end of term, the scholastic year. Perhaps you’re in education, perhaps you’re a full-on parent or carer, perhaps work has burdened you beyond belief. Take time out, away from it all and accept a day where you don’t have to do or decide anything.
August 1st Embracing Elderhood Day Retreat at Lammas
For women 55+ to build on our wisdom, insight and intent

November 1st Transitions Day Retreat at All Souls
For women sitting with loss

Feedback from recent retreats
The quiet day retreat at Viveka was utterly wonderful. I’ve been to yoga retreats and workshops all over the world and I feel so grateful to have found such a special place on my doorstep in Devon. Fiona held space beautifully for the group and we were able to relax into deep practice at the physical and emotional level. It was also wonderful to be fed such beautiful nourishing food. It was a much needed day of repose and rest and I will be back as soon as possible! V, North Tawton
I booked a quiet day at Viveka Gardens so I could prioritise myself and find time for peace and contemplation. Viveka is a special place: so restorative and peaceful. Fiona was warm and compassionate and made me feel so cared for. The yoga was nourishing, and the food was superb. I left feeling rested, loved and restored. I’ll definitely be booking again, and I’m keen to try more yoga nidra – sleepy yoga is my kind of yoga! E, North Tawton
“The most lovely retreat day with embodiment, but also wonderfully wise words and practices were offered so it was indeed a holistic retreat. I had some insights that have been very helpful so am really grateful for the day.” O, Bath
Viveka… a calm sanctuary to restore balance, a safe space to feel heard and reconnect to yourself. Fiona has a wealth of knowledge and supported me to deeply relax and give myself some much needed inner focus. Wholesome food, nurturing space. Highly recommend x L, Okehampton
