Yoga Day Retreat: Equinox & Harvest

Let’s tune with the September Equinox change of season. At this cusp we’ll enter this liminal moment to explore our inner space.
With cues from nature, landscape and crops here at Viveka Gardens (8.5 acres) we’ll value our own inner nature, landscape and personal harvests. We’ll harvest fruits in the orchard and gardens, plant out over-wintering crops and sow new seeds. In the wider landscape on our meditation walk we can forage blackberries, rejoice in hedgerow fruits and turning trees.
There is a restful and airy yoga studio here. Gentle yoga, restorative yoga, yoga nidra will relax the nervous system, offer space to reflect on our personal seasons and open to inspiration for what next.

Four places only to complement the weekend residential retreatants

“There is thanksgiving for all the earth’s abundance but there is also a letting go of the summer. The double spiral is symbol of the aumumn equinox as we are poised between the outward harvest of the past year and prepare to journey in towards the darker months. The balance of the equinox celebrates the wholeness of light and shadow, the seen and unseen, the known and unknown, death and re-birth, creation and destruction. Spiritually, if we are to make space for the new, we need to embrace rest and renewa to clear a path for what will come.” Rev Tess Ward in September The Celtic Wheel of the Year

I was feeling very disconnected from myself. Today I feel so much more grounded and reconnected with the universe. I love that we all felt like a little family and the energy built up was truly empowering. Cannot say thank you enough. D, Okehampton

A wonderful practice, and very well-timed for me. It’s had a significantly profound effect on me at a point in my life where I’m leaving my career and moving forward into new things. A, Tavistock

Just what I needed to rebirth, go inward and rest. The body and mind just wanted to feel contentment, without attaching anything to outcome. I got just this. P, Bideford

Yesterday was a truly wonderful experience. I feel an amazing sense of clarity today. I also slept for 13 hours solidly… Thank you so much. L, Axminster
