Softening into Winter
A Somatic Retreat
Join us for your last beautiful exhale of the year — a gentle invitation to unwind, soften, and come home to the hush beneath December’s rush.
🌲
Sunday 14th December
1- 4pm Collaton St Mary
Parish Rooms
In this retreat, we’ll explore Somatic Movement, a slow and intuitive practice that teaches the body how to release long-held patterns of tension.
Through simple guided sequences, you’ll gently retrain your nervous system to soften, helping to ease pain, process emotions, and create a deeper sense of spaciousness in both body and mind.
This is an opportunity to soften the habits that drain your energy and reconnect with the quiet intelligence that’s been waiting beneath them.
Alongside the movement, you’ll be held in yoga nidra, breath, sound, and deeply restorative rest — giving your entire system the chance to integrate, settle, and renew.
A soft, spacious sanctuary to end the year — a gift to yourself and your loved ones as your peace ripples out into the world.
