Hyemation • a micro retreat at the onset of deep winter

hyemation (noun) The passing of a winter in a particular place. Let’s gather as the deep winter approaches and meet what’s rising within us As we move through the journey from Samhain to Solstice, take the opportunity to gather & return to the simplicity of craft & conversation. The deepening winter naturally invites us to slow down & turn inward and in these ever changing tides of life it is more needed than ever. As the festive season approaches, this is an opportunity to you to join us in circle for community, craft and conversation. Together we will speak of the season, the familiar moment in time where we step across the threshold of winter, about the pace of life and how as women we can hold onto our sacred cyclical wisdom, how our humanness can be our anchor in the tide of life. There will be a moment to pause and meditate, as well as a chance to share collective wisdom and reflections. There will be a guided craft activity, returning you to the pleasure of using your hands & creating something from scratch. And there will be nourishing food and drink provided, a delicious vegetarian feast with herbal teas and infusions throughout the day. Additional Information & Practicalities We will gather at The Forge Yoga Hall. If you havent visited before, The Forge is at the very top of Collins Road, just off The Narrows. There are 2 entrances, one is for the Float Rooms, ours is the entrance for the yoga hall and as you walk down from the narrows the entrace to the Yoga Hall is on the road, not down the passageway. Lastly, we ask that you allow ample time for parking and finding us - parking charges still apply on Sundays. The nearest long stay carparks are Old Market and The Nursery. You can also find cheap all day parking at Morrisons (make sure you pay via the app though as the free parking is limited to 2 hours and then you could be fined). We love to be able to start the circle all together so we appreciate everyone doing their best to arrive in good time.
