Day Retreats 2012 – Seasons of Change

Join me in the Conservatory in Three Bridges, W Sussex

 

A day of reflecting on change and how we manage it. £30.00 for refreshments, lunch and resources to take home

 

 Saturday June 2nd 10am -4pm

“Footprints on the Earth”  Join together for a day of Mindfulness. What do you want your footprint on the world to be? What will your legacy be? How are you making your mark right now? Discover who you truly are through making a Vision Board. Creative work allows the heart to open and the mind to relax. Slow your thinking and be mindful of how we walk on the earth. The day will include materials for collages, time to rest and reflect and mindful walking in the garden.

Saturday July 7th 10- 4pm

“Celebration of Colours” Life can be full of energy in summer and we need to stock up on all the positive summer colours to support us through the times to come. Summer may not necessarily fill you with glee as transitions still occur; divorce, death, illness or even depression can knock you sideways. We can however create a safe summer refuge for you to weather the storm

Saturday 20th October 10am-4pm

Havesting and Hoarding” Slowing down, saving the fruits of our harvests and preparing for a period of quietness. Autumn teaches us to take care of ourselves through times of change. As the garden ripens and harvesting and storing occur we can take stock of what we most need. Come share your time of settling and being with your feelings, moods and colours of the fall. Let’s celebrate the abundance and strengths that you have!

Small groups of maximum 6 persons. Refreshments and healthy lunch supplied in a warm and welcoming space. Retreat pack with gems to take home with you. A series of day retreats held throughout the year celebrating the four seasons and the way they gracefully teach us how to manage change in our lives. Whether you are having change forced upon you or are sensing that a new dawn is on your horizon, join us to discover what nature has to teach. There are many lessons to learn from Nature; resilience, courage, re-newal, resting, growing and nurturing ourselves.


Dorothy Larios is delighted to launch her unique day retreats in the Conservatory. This  is a personal place of inspiration and energy for Dorothy which encourages us to connect with nature through garden-related subjects – horticultural activities, practical and creative retreats.Within in the  magical garden we can gain an insight into how nature’s tried and true wisdom can renew our well being. The Conservatory overlooks the garden, a lovely setting, which is suitable for spending reflective time or to have lunch or refreshments in the garden in the warmer months.

Each day will consist of personal reflective time considering what changes you are experiencing or planning to instigate. Dorothy will introduce the lessons that can be found in each season and pose questions to help motivate your own inner thinking.

Combining working with reflective writing, walking in the garden, finding metaphors and images which represent where you are or want to be, she offers gentle coaching, to coax you to re-connect with self and nature.
