Join us for our Spring Retreat in York.

Spring is the season for growth and transformation, yet given global injustice and the hostile environment we are experiencing here in the UK, we also need space to grieve for the collective: grieving the lives that have been lost to countless ongoing genocides and the targeting of marginalised communities here in the UK.

We need space to grieve the loss of what could have been if injustice never became our reality.

For this retreat we are offering the chance for us to collectively contemplate and practice holding both the joy of Spring and our collective grief at the same time, pondering in what ways transformation could be a part of this story.

Through asana (movement), pranayama (the breath), meditation and guided creative practices, we’ll seek collective wisdom and insight about grief and transformation, sharing the learnings with the people around us.

• Please arrive a few minutes before 1pm so we can begin at 1pm. 

• We'll be eating food at 4:15pm, so please eat something before you join us.

• We're splitting the retreat into 4 parts:

(1) Checking in, introducing the retreat, creating our Spring altar and some grounding movement

(2) Creative practice: multiple different options to create something individually and collectively including writing and poetry prompts, materials for collage making around the theme of collective grief & transformation.

(3) Meditation, movement and relaxation

(4) Sharing food together and chatting

• We are accessible yoga teachers and will therefore be offering chair variations and multiple options to engage with all the practices.
