AWAKEN
A full day to step out of your usual rhythm... to slow down, move, create, and reconnect, surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Tucked into the forests of Hjärnarp, we’ll spend the day in a beautiful studio moving, breathing, creating, sharing a seasonal homemade lunch and fika, and making space to simply be.
We’ll begin with a grounding, gently energizing yoga practice with Steph, inspired by Imbolc and the first stirrings of spring. Through movement, breath and moments of stillness, we’ll explore a gentle awakening... finding warmth in the body and making space to notice what we’d like to nurture in the season ahead.
We’ll then enjoy a delicious homemade lunch lovingly prepared by Sofia, with time for fresh air, conversation or a forest stroll.
During the macramé workshop, Isabella will gently guide you step by step as you create your own beautiful wall hanging to take home. More than just a handmade piece, it will be a little reminder of your creativity, the joy of slowing down, and the special moments and connections shared throughout the retreat.
Along the way, you'll learn some of the most versatile macramé knots and patterns, discover the calming rhythm of creating with your hands, and perhaps even fall a little in love with macramé!
Afterwards, we’ll enjoy a cosy afternoon fika. Then we’ll come back together for gentle movement, reflection and a closing circle to finish the day.
No experience needed. Just come as you are, with an open mind and a little curiosity. All natural materials are included.
Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate and personal.
Includes yoga, a guided macramé workshop, all-natural materials for your wall hanging, a seasonal vegetarian lunch and homemade fika.
