Yoga & Foraging: Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Yoga#

Two yoga classes will be taught each day by Ruby and Christabel Reed (founders of Advaya Initiative). We will take a deep dive into the practice while building strength and flexibility. We will prioritise breath development and incorporate elements of movement, chanting, pranayama and meditation.

Foraging#

On 2 days George Linklater will lead a 4-hour foraging session, guiding us through the woodland and along the camel trail or to the coast to study and pick a range of edible plants native to the coast and countryside of North Cornwall. We will discuss nutritional benefits, historical and contemporary uses, facts and recipes. N.b. the terrain will be uneven and steep and require walking shoes or boots.

Who is George?#

George Linklater works at Bello Wild Food, a leading provider of wild edibles to some of the best restaurants in the country. The walk is aimed towards encouraging us to re-engage with the natural world around us gain new insights into the environments we live in.

Healing Food#

Delicious and healthy breakfasts, lunch & dinners will be cooked and prepared by our healing chefs Atty and Bea. Atty & Bea have cooked on many of our retreats in the past and never fail to create incredible meals that warm the heart and boost the soul. Recipes will be inspired by balancing Ayurvedic traditions using locally sources and organic ingredients wherever possible.

Craft, Walks, & Workshops#

We will lead wild walks in the magical surroundings each day, and host optional nature workshops, from sit-spots to deep awareness practices that connect us deeply with the natural world. The brave ones will go wild swimming, while the rest of us will get cosy in warm baths. We will set up an art station too, and throughout the weekend we invite you to paint, draw and read, engaging with your natural creativity whenever you can. There will of course be plenty of opportunity to relax in our beautiful home and it’s gardens and take all the time you need to rest for the most important thing of all, your self-care.
