URBAN DAY RETREAT: Honouring Transitions
Letting go of the old (habits, identity, beliefs) to make space for the new
Event Details
“My midlife transitions rocked me to my core and helped me see that I wasn't the victim in a crisis but the captain of my own ship. And it was time to make some mid-course corrections in where I was sailing.” Chip Conley, MEA The average person will go through 36 transitions (disruptors) in their adult life, three of which will be “life-quakes”. So truthfully, we’re pretty much always in transition. Most of these happen in midlife (40-60) - hormonal, professional, relational, and even purpose and values. What if we changed our habitual response from “How do I get through this?” to “Who can I become through this?”. What if the Midlife Crisis is actually a Mid-Course Correction? This urban day retreat is dedicated to understanding how to be the artist of your transitions – leveraging your life experience and applying this wisdom toward a meaningful future that reflects who you are now. We’ll practice slow movement - somatics and yoga - to release held tension, and meditation to gain more clarity. And have a blast workshopping ideas, journaling and discussions on the struggles and joys of being human. You’ll leave the day reconnected to and feeling excited about the life-force running through you and inviting you into something new; something fuller. Who’s it for? If you’re feeling suspended in a liminal space - not yet a new self, but no longer the old self – then this is for you! Choosing to participate instead of react or resist to change - coupled with our life wisdom - can help us get clear on what is ready to emerge for this next chapter. Complete beginners to yoga and meditation welcome and encouraged. Day and Time Sunday 12th October 10am – 4.30pm * You may also want to join us for the day of Deep Rest the Saturday. A spacious day of Restorative Yoga, Somatic Movement, Gentle Walks and Talks to clear some inner space and see clearer * Price £75 each (please bring a light lunch).
