The pillars of our wintering day
We blend science, ancient traditions, and somatic experience so you leave not only rested, but equipped with a felt sense of why your body needs deep restoration in winter.
Somatic movement & breath
Awaken inner warmth through an opening circle, conscious breathwork, and a warming yoga flow designed to ease tension, balance your nervous system, and root your awareness. It's cold outside so we ignite the heat within
Ayurvedic nourishment
Discover the ancient science of life with seasonal dietary insights, grounding teas, and a curated ayurvedic lunch prepared by Suphia to nourish your vitality from the inside out. We will share a warming and nourishing meal together with a focus on the tastes of sweet, sour and salty.
Compassionate inquiry
Explore unconscious behavioural patterns and somatic sensations with guided compassionate inquiry workshops, based on the clinical approach developed by Dr Gabor Maté. Observing recurring patterns of behaviour. Recognising, releasing and letting go
Clinical PNI
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) studies how our thoughts and emotions, nervous system and immune system constantly communicate. Stress, rest, safety and connection all shift how our body defends and repairs itself.
Embrace the season to let go and restore
Winter is nature’s invitation to pause, reflect, and gather strength. Give yourself permission to be fully looked after in an environment of genuine care and like-hearted community. We will understand our patterns and recognise when to release and let go. Winter is the season of contemplation, rest, self-nurturing, patience and "hibernation" or wintering.
What to expect throughout the day
Your journey begins with an opening circle and intention setting, supported by breathwork and warming herbal infusions. From there, you will experience an intentional yoga practice, followed by a compassionate inquiry workshop to unpack emotional and physical patterns. Midday brings a mindful, restorative ayurvedic lunch crafted to support seasonal digestion and cellular health.
Restorative elements and thermal therapy
During the afternoon, deepen your understanding of how biology interacts with seasonal rhythms through ancient Ayurveda and modern psychoneuroimmunology. You will have time to connect with each other, with nature, and enjoy an optional guided sauna and cold-water experience to invigorate circulation before gathering for our closing circle, tea, and shared reflection.
Meet your team
Your team for the day are Laura and Edelle. We met in the mountains by a sauna, and loved each other straight away. Something within both of us connected and as we shared our experiences and realised we had a gift we could offer to others. That was when we decided to work together to bring our knowledge, experience, and connection and offer it with gratitude to help other people.
