This is a continuation of the spring retreat, moving into the summer phase — working with a different quality of energy.

We’ll be spending the day at Cowslip Meadows, a countryside retreat with open fields, a lake and a wood-fired sauna — a simple, natural setting that makes it easy to slow down and be outside.

We begin slowly with a grounding session — gentle yin based yoga with somatic elements, focusing on opening the chest, breath and the heart meridian.

In traditional Chinese medicine, summer is linked to the Fire element, connected to the heart, expression and outward energy.
The day follows this idea — starting by settling the system, then gradually building into more openness and expression.

After the movement, we share a nourishing lunch — creating our own Buddha bowls together, with time to rest and reset or wild swim. 

The afternoon continues in a more inward direction, beginning with a sound bath using gongs and other instruments — a space to lie down, soften and settle the nervous system.

From there, we move into a deeper womb and voice session led by Andrea, exploring and embodying the power that lives in our wombs and can be expressed through our voices. We will tap into our direct source connection by listening to the womb and offering healing through vibrating our vocal cords and liberating our unique voices.

In the evening, we head down to the lake.

Sauna, wild swimming, fire, music and movement.

We begin with a guided somatic movement and barefoot dance session — a chance to loosen the body, drop out of the head and move more freely, following rhythm and feeling rather than form.

Music will be playing throughout, creating a relaxed space to move, dance or simply be.

Andrea will also hold a space for live looping — an opportunity to experiment with your voice and build on what was explored earlier in the day.

The day builds gradually:

from stillness → into movement → into expression → into wildness
starting on the ground, ending dancing barefoot
