Full Moon Release & Reset: Evening Yoga & Sound Journey

Full Moon Release & Reset: Evening Yoga & Sound Journey A time to pause, reflect, and gently release what no longer serves you. Join Isis du Jour at The Yoga Yurt for an evening retreat held in the energy of the upcoming full moon. This Full Moon Release & Reset invites you to reconnect with your intentions and create space for clarity, balance, and renewal. We will begin with gentle, grounding yoga to ease tension and centre the body. A short pause with herbal tea and light snacks allows you to settle into the calm, reflective atmosphere of the evening. After this, you will experience a guided relaxation and meditation, soothing the nervous system and inviting inner stillness. The session culminates in an immersive sound bath, where the vibrations of sound healing instruments such as Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, chimes and drums, support deep release and restoration.We will close with a quiet reflection and closing circle, leaving you feeling lighter, calmer and more aligned. Suitable for all levels, this evening is a nourishing opportunity to slow down, let go and realign as you move towards the upcoming full moon. #block-b9d3cf7f5b8dd10dad5f .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-b9d3cf7f5b8dd10dad5f { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-b9d3cf7f5b8dd10dad5f { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-b9d3cf7f5b8dd10dad5f .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width...

Full Afternoon Landscape Painting Workshop - 'Sunlit Meadow'

Full Afternoon Landscape Painting Workshop ‘Sunlit Meadow’ A 4½ hour immersive landscape painting workshop. Join me for an inspiring afternoon of landscape painting as we capture the warmth and beauty of a sunlit summer meadow filled with wild daisies, cornflowers and glowing evening light. This immersive workshop is inspired by the changing English countryside and focuses on the techniques I use in my own landscape paintings to create atmosphere, depth and luminosity. Working on a 30cm x 25cm board, you’ll learn how to build a landscape using layered acrylic techniques, expressive mark-making, colour harmony and subtle light effects. With a maximum of just five participants, you’ll benefit from plenty of individual guidance and support throughout the session. Suitable for beginners and more experienced painters alike, this workshop offers a relaxed and supportive environment where you can develop new skills while creating your own atmospheric summer landscape to take home. All materials are included, along with tea, coffee, and light refreshments. As this is a continuous 4½-hour session, there won’t be a formal lunch break, but you’re very welcome to bring sandwiches or snacks to eat during the workshop. By the end of the session, you’ll have created your own landscape and gained techniques you can continue to develop in your own work.
