Walking into peace afternoon retreat
Join us for a deeply nourishing afternoon retreat designed to guide you back to the sanctuary within. ‘Walking into Peace’ is a gentle yet powerful journey that weaves together sound healing, voice activation, somatic gentle movement, and guided meditation.
Held by Saira and Siobhan, two dear friends and soul sisters who are joining together to bring you this immersive experience. We invite you to soften, release, and reconnect with your inner wisdom through the resonant tones of shamanic drum, gong, crystal bowls, the voice and sacred instruments. You’ll be guided through embodied practices that help regulate the nervous system, open the voice, and awaken the heart’s natural healing energies.
This retreat is an opportunity to:
– Rest deeply and reset your energy
– Reconnect with your intuitive voice
– Experience the healing power of sound
– Cultivate inner safety, spaciousness, and emotional clarity
– Gently walk into the peace of your own heart and find your way home
No previous yoga experience is needed—just an open mind, a willingness to receive, and a desire to return to yourself.
Let this be your invitation to pause, breathe, and remember who you are.
