To 'retreat' is to take time out from daily worries, concerns and distractions and meet yourself in the tenderness of the Heart.  When we gather together in this way - in Truth, in openness and honesty, the vibration of Love is amplified.  There is nothing more important than awakening to the Truth of who you are.  You were born to know yourself as Love. To know that Love is service to the whole of humanity.  Day and weekend offerings available in the UK and abroad.  ​I offer mixed day retreats and days specifically for women.

Each day retreat will carry a different flavour depending on the time of year in which it falls and we will be guided by the energy of the season:​

• 4th January 2020 - New Year Imbolc Approach (Being Woman Day Retreat)
• 26th - 31st March 2020 - HER SONG - Awakening to Life Retreat:: A Women's Initiation (near Melbourne, Australia)
  

"Thank you so much for such a powerful workshop on Saturday, it initiated some shifts for me in just a few short hours. I found it a very moving experience to share stories with the other women, especially in this stage of pregnancy. I also loved the exercises/practices that we did,
​thank you for holding it all so beautifully." Anna

"Dearest Emma Abhijeeta, It was wonderful to be with you again in circle and to gather together to share and do our women's work in such a sacred feminine space.
​Thank you for organising and holding this beautiful circle.  

I came away feeling very nurtured, nourished and connected to my feminine self - strong but gentle - quiet but energised.  I felt very tired when I landed at home and slept early - a peaceful sleep.  I was very emotional on the Sunday and spent the day meditating and allowing the tears to flow.  It felt perfectly ok and good to shed and to allow my tears to flow and just be with what was coming up for me.  

Since then I have been busy with my grandchildren but now seem to be looking after myself better and I keep getting the image of myself as the 'tree' with my low fence surrounding my feminine energy and saying the 'no' when I need too.

I feel more in my heart and in my loving self.  Thank you so much - I continue to grow and shed and I love your beautiful sacred spirit xx"  Jacqueline

Yoga of Being Day Retreat 

An opportunity to be wholly with yourself – to deeply rest in You – to allow everything that is presenting itself and drop into the pure presence of Love that You are. This is integral yoga – to bathe in the wholeness of your being, not just the physical body, allowing the balance between body, mind, emotions & spirit. 
 
You will be invited to dive into all layers of the personality, discovering the stillness of your True Nature through yoga, deep relaxation, meditation, self-enquiry, insight, sharing, movement meditation, group work and nature connection. An opportunity to feel and fully allow what is arising within in honesty and openness and to enquire into to the Truth of Reality.

With awareness, sincerity of heart, willingness & acceptance of what is, you can come to know true peace, stillness & love - the silence of your Being, Pure Consciousness itself…and ‘Shine as You are’.  

This is an open day retreat for anyone who is ready to discover their true nature and explore how this realisation might infuse your daily life.  Pre-booking required.  Please arrive 10 mins early so you have time to settle in. 

Dates: 28 September 2019 (Autumn Equinox), 21 December 2019 (Winter Solstice)
Venue:  Sacred Hearth Temple, Music Room, Shawfield, Laughton Lodge BN8 6BY
Please bring: A yoga mat, blanket, cushion, sheepskin, a vegetarian dish to share and a journal.

"Dear Abhijeeta - thank you so much for all your energy and thought that went into our retreat on Saturday - and for sharing the accumulated wisdom from years of your own practice that stood behind, and within, the day you led with us. 
I felt you created a warm, sharing and trusting atmosphere from which I - and I felt others in the group - could feel and explore. It took me way outside of the daily focus on emails, appointments not made, projects uncompleted and Things to Do but not done. Time to pause and feel deeply is very precious and you facilitated a very safe space for me. The morning perhaps touched me the deepest with the guided meditative yoga, which used the breath and movement to open a tranquil yet emotional space where feelings could come.
​
Your instructions to leading me through this - and I am someone physically unused to yoga -  were beautifully clear, short, simple and non-judgemental - and led to some profound insights. The invitation to undertake a small ritual by ourselves out of doors provided me with a pause from the group and moments for self reflection which I really valued - I would even have liked a bit more time in the green field with the first sniffs of spring in the air. The mixture of meditation, yoga, movement, ritual and - towards the end - chanting and song -  helped unlock different aspects of being together in a space. I felt the reflection in the group at the end provided a 'soft landing' with a closure and a way to re-enter the hurly burly of daily life." Mike
