Details of this retreat
Welcome the vernal equinox, take a sacred pause, and enjoy a peaceful retreat to rest, replenish and reconnect.
Join Clare Buckley on this deeply nurturing retreat honoring the potency of transitional and liminal moments. In the serene and beautiful setting of Ratna Ling we will awaken to the experience of holistic wellbeing, centered around embodied movement, breath work, energy work, meditation and mindful practices to deeply nourish energy pathways and to restore balance and equanimity. Explore the gifts of a practice inspired by nature and the shifting rhythms of the seasons and tune into your inner landscape with love and compassion. Deep rest, spacious renewal and reconnection are at the core of this retreat, enabling participants to fully unwind and restore their energy. Clare shares insights from Ayurveda, TCM, Yin, Somatic, bodywork and embodiment practices, along with sound healing and guided meditations.
Alongside her wellbeing program there will be ample time for pause and connecting with the magical setting of Ratna Ling.
