HALF DAY WELLBEING RETREAT INFO
When winter darkness descends, we’re invited inward, to gather what we’ve learned, to rest, rebalance and discover the light that lives within us.
Illumination is a half-day morning journey combining powerful breathwork practices with an immersive sound bath. As nature turns inward during these shorter days, we too can embrace the opportunity to connect deeply with ourselves and harvest the wisdom we’ve cultivated throughout the year.
Led by Cat Paterson advanced Wim Hof instructor and performance coach, and Samantha Whaley Holistic Sound Healing Practitioner.
