Evolving Woman Mother's Day Retreat - Health & Balance In Daily Life

We look into yogic practices with a focus on the health and well-being of a woman's unique body, mind and spirit. Find new levels of acceptance of your ‘self’, soothe the body, let go of the mind and honour your needs. We will also explore how to build on your self-expression and 'find your voice', as a woman. We will do this using mantra (chanting), voice exercises and asanas.

During the weekend explore aspects of your femininity and the associated cycles, challenges, joys and transitions. Through yoga practice, relaxation, meditation, sacred sound, voice and expression sessions, dance and ritual, see and experience your Maiden (creative force), your Mother (inner and outer nurturing force) and your Elder (innate Wise Woman).

Retreat programme includes:

• Daily yoga classes focused on women’s specific needs
• Meditation sessions
• Heart-opening voice workshop using mantras to free the voice, open the heart and quieten the mind
• Deep relaxation and massage techniques
• Discussion on the needs, joys and challenges for women in modern society
• Fire ceremonies, songs, creativity and more …

Swami Karma Karuna specialises in women’s health. By blending yogic lifestyle and Sannyasa tradition with motherhood, she brings a unique and practical approach, inspiring the integration of yogic principles into everyday activities.

Caitlin Halliwell is a mother, gifted local singer and songwriter. She uses mantra and chanting as healing vibrations, finding them the ultimate way to purify mind, body and soul. As she introduces each chant, Caitlin explains the meaning behind the Sanskrit words, painting a highly evocative image and luring us into the world of gods, goddesses and Light.
