AUTUMN EQUINOX RETREAT DAY

Saturday 4th October 2025

9am-6pm £115 (early bird £100 until 31st July)

As day and night become equal once again, we celebrate this quarter festival and seasonal shift with an invitation to find balance. Our retreat falls just after the Autumn Equinox and we reflect on what Autumn brings….

A time for slowing down and letting go, just as nature does. As plants drop their seeds into the soil, it’s a reminder to release what’s no longer needed and make space for new growth. In yoga, this is a time to clear out old patterns and take stock of where we are. Reflect on the past year, find what needs to be let go of, and balance your energy, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Just like the land, we too need time to rest and prepare for the next phase. On Exmoor, the land shifts into golden hues, and the crisp morning air invites us to embrace the quiet of the season.

Herbs, nutrition, movement, breathing and meditation are integral to these retreat days. Seasonally inspired yoga and meditation to awaken your senses, a workshop on fungi foraging and earth medicine for the season with our resident nutritionist and even an optional wild dip in the river! Making the most of our stunning location to fully engage with our senses to bring everything back into balance.

Throughout the day we will enjoy the tastes of the season, making food an intentional and nourishing experience where we connect with each other and celebrate nature’s bounty. Enjoy kombucha and freshly baked biscuits on arrival. A deliciously wholesome plant-based lunch will be served around the table and herbal infusions served alongside cake in the afternoon. All made with local, home-grown ingredients.

Much of the day will be outside, connecting with nature and the elements. Either down by the river or up on the ridge, around a fire. A slow relaxed pace for truly grounding yourself into the season. A moment to reflect and see what needs adjusting before the winter months arrive. It's a time to find balance and conserve your energy, preparing for the quieter, restful season ahead.

Let this day fill you with gratitude, creativity and warmth ready for shorter days and the slower darker months to come. Step into the season where we start to wind down and seek comfort.
