SOUL & SOUND RETREAT

        SPRING EQUINOX | 20TH MARCH 2025

PIN MILL, SUFFOLK

Join me for a deeply restorative day retreat on the day of the Spring Equinox at the beautiful Pin Mill Studio, home to award winning photographer Anthony Cullen. With exclusive use of this stunning riverside space and its cosy cafe space, you’ll be invited to slow down, reconnect and reclaim your stillness within.

Limited to only 6 guests for an intimate experience, the day will weave together gentle yin yoga, sound bath relaxation, meditation, river walking and moments of reflection over tea and oracle cards, not to mention a riverside lunch at The Butt & Oyster pub next door if you wish to join me. 

Who Is This For

This is for those of us who are looking to slow down, unwind and reconnect in a deep and soulful way. If you have been living in survival mode, feeling overstretched, tense or overwhelmed, or perhaps you are feeling a bit stuck and lost on your soul path, press PAUSE and give yourself an opportunity to come back to the inner stillness within.

Tell Me More…

My approach is very gentle, slow and I love silence and stillness so expect plenty of that! You will be invited to focus on your breath, practice mindfulness and have time to reflect throughout the day. This is a practice of mind - heart coherence to bring you back to the essence of you.

Music for the soul is more than just sound - it’s a deep, emotional experience that speaks to the heart when words fall short. It has the power to connect us not only to our own hearts, but to something much greater than ourselves - what better location to connect with this deeper sense of being.

I will be using my instruments throughout the day to help us relax and connect, including a full and deeply soothing sound journey in the afternoon. Music and sound can help us access emotions that are buried or difficult to express, providing a release for stuck energy, bringing relief, clarity and catharsis. For many, this can feel like a soulful ‘reset’, helping them to let go and reconnect with their inner peace.

We will also spend time connecting to our bodies, moving past the mental chatter and entering deeper states of awareness. Yin yoga is a very gentle yet powerful practice that invites a slow and gradual return to self, releasing tension within the body and bringing us closer to the essence of who we are and how we are really feeling within. See it as a mirror to the body and the soul. This passive style of yoga is done either laying down or in a seated position on the floor, held for 2-5 minutes in stillness.

We will practice being present in nature with a long walk the River Orwell through the woods. It can get muddy and a little hilly so good footwear and suitable clothing for the weather is a must!
