Join in a weekend of escape and adventure that will give you time and space to explore the powerful rite of passage that is menopuase with yoga teacher Donna Southwell & writer and teacher Dr Rachel Newsome.
Whether you are perimenopausal, post-menopause or not sure exactly what stage in this cycle you're at, Autumn is the perfect time to take time out to reflect on the transformative potential of this experience and unlock the deep wisdom this stage of life has to offer.
Harness the Wisdom of Menopause will be a restorative opportunity to connect with others, share and envision how we want to spend the next part of our lives and debunk some of the negative myths that ignore the deep value and wisdom of this experience.
We'll be staying in the gorgeous, cosy 17th Century Nab Cottage on the shores of Rydal Water with a beautifully converted barn heated by a huge log burner.
In the morning you can choose from Ashtanga taught in the traditional Mysore style or choose a more gentle form of yoga, catered towards the needs of the group. Days will be spent outdoors in the hills - hiking and wild swimming. Afternoon workshops will focus on simple journaling practices underpinned by Jungian psychoanalysis & neuroscience, sharing and discussion. No previous writing experience is necessary and there will be no pressure to read anything out.
Evenings will include a delicious vegetarian dinner, hot tub, sauna, star gazing or simply relaxing by the fire.
Donna has been teaching yoga since 2003 and has the KPJAYI level 2 authorisation to teach Ashtanga primary & intermediate series.
Rachel is a writer and teacher with 20 years experience and holds a PhD in Jungian psychoanalysis & creative writing.
Both are in their 50's and well on their way to crossing the threshold of menopause.
