Bells Beach Candlelit Yin + Rest Retreat
About
We have forgotten that rest is our natural born right, as we move in a world that glorifies productivity and endless measuring.In such a world, how can it not feel difficult - and sometimes impossible - to slow down, to catch our breath, to be present, to feel what needs to be felt?
Gift yourself deep self-care.
Reclaim your natural born right to inner silence.
Come and journey to deep rest.
This evening retreat is an invitation to slow down and soften.
Imagine:
You are held in glow of candlelight at the iconic Surfcoast Yoga shala in Bells Beach, where thousands of souls have journeyed before you.
You melt into in a warm and inclusive environment where all bodies and expressions are welcomed.
Countless candles glow around you.
The evening retreat is your time to breathe. To melt, to listen your heart, to listen to your body.
We begin with a deeply nourishing restorative / yin yoga / myofascial release practice to create space and grounding within the body and the mind. Using blankets and bolsters, we will create a cosy place to surrender into a series of supported shapes to unwind layers of tension as we breathe and melt.
We move into a yoga nidra guided meditation, coming into an effortless state of deep conscious rest where the mind and body can surrender and replenish.
With this new spaciousness, we will move into heart-opening ceremonial grade cacao in a sacred ritual used for centuries to foster reflection and inner wisdom. This organic cacao has travelled from the heart of the Amazon jungle where it has been grown and harvested by the Ashaninka community, one of the oldest Indigenous tribes in South America.
Supported by cacao, we begin our guided journaling practice. You will be given thoughtful journaling prompts to help you unravel your thoughts and desires.
You will be given time to reflect, process and excavate through the layers of noise so you can write your heart out as you give a voice to the truths within.
We will close in community with mantra, allowing the resonance of our voices to seal our intentions and integrate the evening’s experience.
The shala will be gently heated. Wear cosy things – a your favourite jumper, your favourite socks – to support your practice.
Bring: A clean mug (for your cacao ceremony), your journal & pen. There are communal mats and blankets at the studio, feel free to bring your own.
