14-18 April 2022
Mayfield, Sussex
Feeling stuck?
Questioning who you really are?
Ready for a change?
In need of letting go what no longer serves you?
“It is only in stepping away from the noise of everyday life that you can make space for the thoughts that really matter - the ones that tell you exactly what you want and need.”
Amanda Denton, Senior Yoga Teacher & Sound Meditation Practitioner
“Embark with us on a journey of self-discovery, shedding the old and harnessing your own unlimited potential through the healing properties of sound meditation, yoga, and connecting with the land.”
Tamara Klien, Meditation Expert & Sound Meditation Practitioner
What is ‘New Beginnings’ about?
It takes a clear intention and an elevated emotion to plant the seeds for change. You will not only be able to shed the old and unwanted, but also be guided to stepping out of the dark into a bright future, full of opportunities.
The aim is to create a healing space for self-reflection and realisation through daily wake-up meditation, yoga and immersive sound bath experiences. You will be able to look deep inside your inner-self and make those necessary changes to redesign your new reality into the state of a healthy body, a liberated mind and an uplifted spirit.
What can I expect?
A fresh start
All practices are focused on balancing the body, mind and soul with intention to move forward. Using a variety of techniques and tools which directly impact our brain waves you’ll be able to enter different states of consciousness. This is where new thinking happens allowing to rearrange or replace the unwanted circumstances of your past, with the new circumstances that you would like to invite in.
Restore
You will be participating in daily yoga sessions to ground the body and guided into deep meditation and gong bath sessions to bring focus to the mind. Each session lasts between 45 - 90 minutes and are guided by expert teachers Amanda and Tam.
Reconnect
Leaving the familiar lives behind, in an environment that doesn’t remind you of who you think you are, is the most powerful way to reflect and re-evaluate. During this 5-day retreat you are given an opportunity to rediscover yourself in a meaningful and lasting way.
Nourish
Designed by local chefs, our primarily vegetarian meals feature fresh, local ingredients that promote lightness of body, clarity of mind, and openness of spirit. We can of course cater to any dietary requirements.
Location
The retreat is taking place at Fair Oak Farm, a private estate in Mayfield, which has won numerous awards for its sustainable tourism practices, engaging and benefiting the local community. Mayfield is set in the depths of Sussex countryside, in a protected area of outstanding natural beauty, yet only one hour from London.
Surrounded by breath-taking views of fields stretching to the horizon which make you feel at peace the moment you arrive, it’s the perfect retreat venue.
