Creative, Wellness and Movement Day Retreat (Bristol)
Come away with us to the countryside to meditate, journal, create outside the lines and release your inhibitions.
What can you Expect?
Emerge into the day with a morning stretch and a somatic movement workshop followed by moments of reflection with journaling and meditation.
Enjoy a delicious lunch followed by energizing African drumming and a creative mindfulness workshop to explore creative expression and play. Settle into your body in the afternoon with a restorative yoga class and enjoy a moment of stillness as you’re soothed in a sound bath snuggled up with blankets and cushions.
The day will draw to an end with a closing circle surrounded by candlelight for final journal reflections. There are 850 acres of rolling hills and woodlands overlooking the sparkling cityscape if you wish to enjoy a stroll or savour a cup of tea outside at any time during the day.
All activities are optional and you are welcome to dip in and out of them as you wish. Whether you need community or solitude you can find both at Oriri.
Who Is This Day For?
Anyone and everyone who wishes to take a moment to reset.
Oriri Retreats creates a space for you so you can work with your mind, body and imagination to rest, rejuvenate and rediscover the joy of your creative self through art and movement.
This retreat is suitable for anyone 18 years or older.
