Our retreat in April 2024 is themed around "Rest and Flow". Susie is delighted to be partnering with Lindsey Porter from Yoga-Nu-U again, sharing Mindfulness, Yoga and Rest Practices - and more!
We will be resting in different forms - not just lying down, but learning how to rest in nature, through creative activities and in silence.
The flow aspect of the retreat will not just be in our Yoga practice, but also bringing in water, walking and sound.
Mull has so much to offer that of course there will be day-trips too, including an optional tour to Staffa to see the Puffins. We loved using the Community Hall in Iona so much that we will be back there for sure - resting and flowing with the beautiful views out over the Sound of Iona.
We will be staying in two connecting cottages on Saorphin Farm, on the Ross of Mull – the southwestern part of the island. The cottages are peaceful – overlooking Loch Assapol, our closest neighbours are sheep and deer. We can walk to a local beach from the farm, and it’s usually deserted.
The retreat runs from Sunday 21st April, until Friday 26th April. Arrival is from 3pm onwards, and we leave the cottages by 12pm. Retreatants are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from the cottage, although if you are arriving by public transport, we can arrange to pick you up and drop you off at the ferry port on Mull for a small additional charge.
Depending on the weather, some of our sessions will be outside, including dips in the sea if you fancy joining us. We will also have a variety of optional day trips, allowing you to see more of the island, including the Isle of Iona and Staffa.
Please note that it's not possible to bring pets on retreat.
