As autumn arrives, the days begin to draw in and the natural world turns towards gathering, storing and preparing for winter.
Come and do the same.
Join me and Emma Rose (of Essential Nature Yoga) for a deeply nourishing day of movement, Yoga Nidra, seasonal ritual, beautiful food and fermentation at Mother of the Woods.
Move, rest, eat well, gather around the fire, learn something new and take time to simply be. A day to replenish your body, settle your nervous system and stock up on the things that will sustain you through the darker months, both inside and out.
Come and gather with us this Autumn.
We’ll begin with gentled yoga with Emma, using the practice to ground into the body and attune to the changing season. Expect a nourishing, accessible practice that invites you to slow down, soften and listen.
From movement, we’ll descend into the deep rest of Yoga Nidra. This is where we begin to stock up internally. Yoga Nidra offers the body and nervous system an opportunity to deeply rest and restore, while giving us space to turn our attention inwards. Through guided reflection and seasonal imagery, we’ll tap into our intuition and explore the resources we can gather within ourselves as we move towards winter.
We’ll then come together for an Autumn Equinox ritual and fire ceremony, reflecting on the turning of the season, the balance of light and dark, and the ancient wisdom of gathering what will sustain us.
Next I will create a beautiful seasonal lunch inspired by the abundance of autumn.
There will be good food, beautiful ingredients, conversation and the pleasure of eating together around a long table.
Because nourishment is not only about what we eat.
It is also about how we gather.
How we share.
How we receive.
How we make time to sit down and enjoy what has been grown, gathered and prepared.
After lunch, I will be leading hands-on fermentation workshop, exploring the ancient practice of preserving. You’ll learn the art and health benefits of preservation and create some seasonal jars to take home.
You’ll leave with your body nourished, your nervous system replenished, your pantry stocked with something delicious and a little more space inside yourself.
