25th May 2024

10am - Luxurious Foot Soak on arrival, followed by an Opening Sacred Sharing Circle, with Cacao and Meditation. Here we come together as a collective and set our intentions from this heart opened, expansive state.

10.30am - Qoya Inspired Movement and Belly Dancing. First, we move to both stoke our inner fire and shake out any stagnant energy and anything else that needs to be shifted. It’s when we drop out of minds and into the body that we remember the essence of who we are, and discover the innate wisdom resides within. There is an opportunity to explore your creative expression afterwards through art or journalling, to capture any insights gained.

12pm – Lunch. It’s time to replenish the body with a nutritious nourishing lunch made with fresh seasonal and ingredients which are locally sourced and organic where possible.

1pm - Yoga Nidra. Designed to invoke a deep sense of relaxation, regeneration and replenishment of the body, whilst stilling the mind and resetting the nervous system. We will be working more deeply with intention (Sankalpa) to create positive changes in your life.

1.30pm - Crystal Sound Healing. This experience will deepen your relationship with this earth and that which we can’t see. Just like the physical body needs cleansing, so does your spiritual body. This is done through weaving the magic of sound, voice and crystal singing bowels, a potent way to connect and heal.

2.30pm – Contrast Therapy session. Now it’s time to meet yourself in the ice. There is nothing like a cold immersion to meet your mind where it’s at and we’ve found there’s nothing quite like this experience to bring you into pure present awareness. The combination of breath and cold immersion has been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation in the body, which is the root cause of many health issues, including auto immune diseases. This is followed by an infrared sauna session that detoxes the body amongst its numerous benefits. And then if you’re feeling brave there is the opportunity to face the cold once again. We do this for the brown fat activation, which is the good fat that we need more of! This is what stokes our metabolism and helps to prevent diabetes and heart disease.

4pm - Tea, chai and cake.

4.30 pm – Fire ceremony and closing circle. Having ignited our fires within, it is time to light a literal fire, with the chance to offer anything up that you may wish to release or transform. This could be in the form of written words, artwork or offerings from this earth.

Please note that this itinerary is a guide to give you indication of what to expect for the day and could potentially be moved around a bit. Timing can vary depending on how much people share in the beginning circle as an example, but we will ensure the day has come to completion by 5.30pm to ensure those needing to get the 6pm ferry home can do so.

Luxurious Foot Soak, Cocao Opening Circle, Meditation, Qoya Inspired Movement infused with Belly Dancing, Yoga Nidra, Crystal Sound Healing, Sauna, Ice Plunge, Creative Expression through Journalling and/or Art.

A nourishing healthy wholefoods lunch will be provided, as well as a mid afternoon snack (tea, chai and cake).

A beautiful gift to take home with you will be a reminder of the gifts of this season and our connection to the earth.

Just bring yourself, dressed in comfortable loose clothing to move in, swimwear, a pen, journal, and water bottle (there is triple filtered water available to refill this). All yoga mats and props, plus towels for the sauna and ice bath, will be provided.

Why not fully immerse yourself in the Sandhana experience and add on a stay prior to, and/or, after the retreat, to fully rest, rejuvenate and receive. There are three rooms to choose from and they will book out so make sure you get in quickly. Just click on the link below to make an enquiry. Please note these rooms aren’t available to book through the normal online booking channel, to ensure that only people participating in the retreat experience will be staying at here over these dates, to maintain the cohesion of the group.
