Down to Earth, UK Retreat Nov 2023

YOGA + CLAY

Located in rural Somerset, our beautiful regenerative retreat home sits on a biodynamic farm and abundant nature reserve. The vision? To come down to Earth in harmony with self, others and nature. With beautiful eco farmhouse style accomodation, a traditonal Mongolian Yoga Yurt, a deliciously nourishing "Soil- to-Gut" menu and copious amount of space (170 acres of it!) for creating, flowing, foraging, wild swims and more .. we are proud to call this home for our Autumn retreat - DOWN TO EARTH. We can't wait to welcome you!

Fusing two of my favourite worlds together – Yoga & Clay: an alliance of ancestral practices, to offer a means of reconnecting to our creative potential, to explore the intelligence & magic of our bodies. This retreat will very much be calling on the element of EARTH - experiencing Yoga & Clay and its grounding effects - to reconnect with nature and ourselves.

Movement is life. Yoga allows us to explore the different layers of our body –the physical, the mental and the spiritual. It allows us to move, express, feel deeply connected, strong & empowered whilst conjuring a profound sense of love and awareness for oneself, eachother, and the world around.

Earth is grounding. Contact with clay is a direct connection to nature, it offers a grounding approach to ourselves and our surroundings. It stimulates our haptic sensations, our potential to focus and teaches us the detachment from expectations. It enables us to playfully reconnect with our creative potential, whilst exploring new ways of self-expression, without judgment, much like the ART of Yoga.

Gather with like minded souls - FIND YOUR FEET through connectiON WITH COMMUNITY, nature, YOUR practice and most importantly, yourself.

VENUE, FOOD & ETHOS

Being regenerative means being carbon negative and biodiversity positive - aiming to leave the earth in better shape than when we found it–for us and generations to come. A space truly, to reconnect with nature, self and others. On retreat, we will be graced with an abundance of immersive and wild spaces (170 acres of it!) – including ancient woodlands, lakes and meadows. Let curiosity guide your way to discovery! There is also a tranquil 7-acre lake suitable for wild swimming – an opportunity to refresh and revitalise your body with a serene swim surrounded by nature.

Each day will comprise of a deliciously nourishing, hyper-local "Soil- to-Gut" menu, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and wild foraged teas. Each dish will be locally sourced, nutrient-dense, home-grown and created with wild foraged ingredients. The food is an expression of the land, lovingly tended for. Our regenerative, hyper-local and simple menu demonstrates a way of eating that continues the traditions of the past and supports our shared future. As we cultivate and restore the wellbeing of our planet Earth, we cultivate and restore the wellbeing within ourselves.

LIV, the yoga + THE CLAY

Blending the ancient wisdoms of yogic tradition with her love for free flowing authentic movement – Liv’s vinyasa based practice and teachings are harnessed on embodiment and experience. From an earthy elemental practice, to a firey dynamic asana, to gentle breathwork and Yin – all are deeply connected and rooted in the breath.

Whether you are starting out on your yoga journey or you have a regular practice/are a dedicated practitioner, Liv’s warming style accommodates for all levels – with her primary focus of movement being centred around FEELING. How we are experiencing & embodying the pose, as opposed to being caught up on how it looks/should look. We are all unique individuals, with different routines and needs – Liv’s style allows you to get what you need from your practice, whilst celebrating the shapes that are completely unique to you.

THE CLAY

From the mat, to the making - dropping into the body/breath through other means of creative flow & expression. Over the weekend you'll create your own earthy clay peices - learning how to hand build & move around multiplue clay forms using different techniques. You will create something truly unique. Whether it's a collection of cosy peices or one larger peice of magic - something that pulls you out of the fast tracks of life, and evokes a sense of 'time' in the calming forces of your own home.
