Summer Day Retreat
Restore Your Balance, Recharge Your Soul.
Sunday, 27 July 2025, Hatfield
Whether you’re feeling disconnected, worn out, or simply in need of a reset, this Summer Day Retreat invites you to give yourself the attention and care you deserve - because you matter.
In the fast pace of modern life, it’s easy to lose touch with your inner world, making it harder to enjoy the moment, find balance or feel inspired. This retreat offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself and nurture your well-being in a supportive environment - so you can move through life with greater ease and bring forward your best self.
Through a harmonious blend of immersive sound bath, grounding Chadao tea ceremony, restorative yoga, uplifting mantra music, and kirtan, we’ll create a space for you to be fully present, soothe your nervous system, release stress, and support your body’s natural healing process.
