Summer Solstice Day Retreat – A day to Breathe
Settle and connect
Our recent Summer Solstice retreat has left us feeling deeply grateful and the feedback from everyone who joined us has been incredibly heart-warming. Every single participant rated the day as either very good or excellent, and the comments captured the atmosphere beautifully.
Participants loved the venue itself: “Lovely location and environment. Atmosphere very special and the space wonderful.”; “Lovely venue, perfect day.”
We were deeply moved by positive comments on our facilitation and the ability to hold the space for everyone: “Expert, caring, professional, knowledgeable, beautiful teachers. Thank you!”
And the practices seemed to land exactly as intended. Breathwork, reflection time, gentle yoga, sound bath, nutrition talk, and simply being together all played their part: “The combination of the activities, group, food etc. came together to create a lovely day.”; “Loved the order in which we did the practices”; “Breathwork was amazing.”
What participants valued most wasn’t any single moment; it was the way the day created space to slow down, connect, and breathe: “The time to reflect and be present.” Every participant said the overall experience was positive, and many highlighted how restorative it felt to step away from the pressures of daily life.
There were a few thoughtful suggestions, too: starting a little earlier, offering a bullet-point reminder of what to bring, or allowing more time for sharing. And one whimsical idea: “Hire some spiritual angel people who could bring a breeze on such hot days.” We’ll take all into consideration to shape the Autumn Equinox Retreat on 27 September
For now, we’re simply grateful for the honesty, warmth, and presence that everyone brought to the day.
