Sunday 29th March is the 'spring forward' day after the clocks go one hour forward in Ireland. This day retreat is designed to create a conscious and clear ritual to move from winter to summer and make the most of the balancing equinox energy. 

Karla from House of Yoga works with the somatic energy of the elemental body, meaning that she creates classes and experiences which are all about 'feeling' the elements of nature in the body mind system.  If we can feel it we can know it. And if we know it from inside ourselves, we carry that knowing as our own embodied wisdom. 

Emma Lock is a Yoga Teacher, Musician and Sound Therapist who runs regular sound baths individually and in group settings. She is the creator of Global Soul, a sound healing band who play festivals and events all around Ireland. She is particularly experienced in visionary meditation experiences with quantum light breath and merkaba experience.

This is a short 5 hour day retreat 1-6pm moving through the four main elements in 4 parts with the 5th element (ether) being part of our discussion at dinner. We want to give participants an experiential sense of the elements and the day is designed to help you feel and sense these elements in your bodymind system. Ether is the electromagnetic information field in which all elements arise, so we will explore this element in a discussion during our delicious dinner!

Fire - House of Yoga with Karla is a rhythmic mindful movement practice connecting body, breath, beat and land. We work with music to align breathing with movement and each other, and work through the 13  main joints of the body, washing away the winter stagnation with breath, attention and intention. This is a playful class, simple in its technicality, yet strong and profound in its methodology. Created over 18 years, in festivals with Live DJ's, this is a co creative dynamic experience of release and reconnection.

Water - Sauna in the wonderful Bosca Beatha, by the river in Glenmalure, with scrubs designed to clear and cleanse the emotional body.

Air - Emma's sound bath and merkaba meditation will infuse your spirit with resonance and a profound geometric re-alignment.

Earth - We ground our afternoon together with a shared meal - a delicious 2 course dinner all together in the Glenmalure Lodge.

Ether - The electromagnetic information field of information which surrounds us all. This element is of course less tangible so we will share information about this element and explore its properties during our dinner as part of the discussion together. 

There are just 8 places for this retreat, so it will sell out - book soon to ensure your reset in to the seasonal rhythm of the year!
