A day retreat for women to creatively find their way through life and circumstance change
It’s the season of loss and grief, and maybe you are at a loss. You’ve had to let go of something, or someone, but you’re not ready to move on. A limbo place needs sitting with, and maybe glimmers arise. At this liminal time of year, we embrace the liminal within and the maybe.
The loss could be work, relationship, bereavement or health, or simply feeling stuck and wanting to make a change.
Make space for your soul to rest and maybe catch a glimmer of what next with:
- gently embodying restorative yoga
- guided journalling for deeper diving
- circle to say what’s on your heart out loud
- yoga nidra for intuitive insight
- meditation walk on the land here for grounding
Plus delicious vegan soulfood to nourish, and a warm, welcoming space.
Here’s a substack piece, I Have No Idea Where I Am Going, on feeling lost

Feedback from previous day retreat participants at Viveka Gardens
A lovely peaceful day retreat with yoga, meditation and sharing circles. I enjoyed the day very much and have drawn upon my thoughts from that time each day since. I am quite new to such days and am finding they are helping me to find a quiet confidence in myself and cut back on chasing approval from others. J, Tedburn St Mary
What a wonderful day. Fiona invites you to be where you are and to find what you need. I gained insights from the retreat day as well as finding a deeper peace about my life. A beautiful mix of yoga practice, solo space, communal engagement, gentle teaching, nourishing food, nature walks to name some of the gifts. An experienced retreat leader and coach – highly recommended.”
O, BathMy thanks for a beautiful experience and a day to reflect on with deep realisations that will continue to unfold. I benefited from time out to think, journal, be really listened to, coddled and cosseted, wholly fed and nurtured in the peace of Viveka Gardens. I loved the warmth and peace, the unhurried rhythm of time, the enveloping restorative yoga, the wonderful wholesomeness of hospitality and Fiona’s loving and liberating guidance. As a result of the day I want to live each day more appreciatively, with my body, in creation, with wisdom and in faith. My main takeaway is about growing in grace and the freedom to be me. M, North Tawton
I have just been on another beautiful retreat day at Viveka Gardens. Fiona creates a safe space and guides the day in a sensitive, empowering way. I have come away restored, calm and ready to embrace new things. The food is also absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Fiona. B, Black Dog
