Waves of Peace - Yoga and Brunch
Join The Planet Body (Lauren Ellis-Stretch) and Susy Walsh Wellness, with brunch by plant-based chef Kelly Mason, for this half day retreat embodying the many aspects of 'peace' in honour of International Peace Day.
Through movement, connection and sound we'll seek to cultivate tranquillity, calm and balance within, with an intention of allowing this to ripple out to the collective. Together we'll hold space for unity and hope, within and without.
We'll start our time together in community with a nourishing brunch from Kelly, before moving into a slow and soft yin yoga practice with Susy where we'll explore ideas of what inner peace feels like for us. Then Lauren will get our bodies moving with a 'Shake the Dust!' practice, a cathartic, heart-expanding practice that blends yoga, pilates, body-weight movements and more, all set to an energising soundscape to uplift and inspire.
Then we'll flow into a deeply relaxing crystalline sound bath where we can allow our peaceful intentions to meet with sound waves and reverberate out into the universal consciousness for the benefit of all beings.
Whether you want to use this retreat to foster a more internal, personal sense of peace or whether you want to use your yoga practice to contribute to help ease suffering across our global community, this is space for you to show up as you are and just be, with no expectations. We hope you can join us!
Suitable for all levels of practitioner and beginners very welcome. A portion of proceeds will be donated to charities that work towards world peace.
