Overview

Join me for a full moon and lunar eclipse retreat at the unique and special Baton House.

Lunar eclipses, significant in astrology, symbolize transformations and prompt self-reflection, leading to better relationships and societal healing. Embracing change with resilience fosters personal growth and understanding during these powerful events.

The full moon is a time for reflection, release, and manifestation so we will be doing some ”moon bathing” which will give us time for contemplation, gratitude and intention setting.

This retreat will combine yoga, meditation and an optional vision workshop to make the most of this special time. There will be an opportunity to support the Baton Valley Trust by spending some time helping them on the land.

About Baton House - the house is situated on 60 hectares of idyllic countryside, bordered by the pristine native bush and untouched rivers of the Kahurangi National Park, about 90mins drive from Nelson. Owned by the Baton Valley Trust, whose mission begins “We aspire to achieve small-scale, sustainable conservation, in order to maintain and regenerate native species of flora and fauna…”

Their approach to the land aligns with my own belief that we are part of Nature and not separate to it, responsible for its care, as “When the land is well, the people are well.”

Being at Baton House means you are immersed in Nature and you will have plenty of time to explore and enjoy the stunning surroundings, or just relax.

A bit more about what to expect…

Each day there will be a Vinyasa Flow yoga session, guided meditation and relaxation practice.

Moon bathing - weather permitting we will spend some time outside under the full moon and of course watching the eclipse!

There will also be an optional vision session, it’s a great time to think about what you’d like to manifest in your life.

The yoga classes are for all levels, please be mindful that if you are an experienced yogi wanting a challenge then this probably is not the retreat for you.

Give yourself the gift of time. Three nights and two full days to relax, explore, unwind and make a positive difference in special surroundings.
