Over three days, participate in a variety of yoga classes and clean eating workshops. Mornings begin with breathing exercises, meditation, and energizing yoga. Next, learn how to prepare and eat a raw lunch. Spend the afternoon going on nature walks, partaking in holistic treatments, and learning more about healthy living. Come evening, unwind with restorative yoga and a guided yoga Nidra session.
โForget the free and connecting yoga, forget the delicious, highly nutritional shakes and meals, forget the beautiful, birdsong-filled, natural surroundingsโฆ.what you have in this retreat is spiritual advice offered with insight and love, freedom of heart and mind and a solid platform to build again. Perfect.โ

โA warm and welcoming hug on arrival.ย A time to stop, stand, share and dream our dreams with no plans for four blissfully peaceful and calming days. Yoga shared with genuine heart felt warmth, kindness, compassion and gentle encouragement. An awareness of wellbeing and mindfulness with healthy organic food prepared with love and generosity. Walking barefoot on wet grass and feeling the warm earth beneath our feet and sunshine on our faces. Experiencing the freedom to feel and not to think.โ

"Iโll admit I wasnโt overly keen to attend the Autumn Cleanse (or any cleanse for that matter!) and agreed to the weekend simply because itโs something my Mother wanted to do! Rina set the tone of the weekend from the off, recommending a small community mind-set, but reassuring we could take space and time for ourselves at any point. She talked about the benefits of kindness, to ourselves and each other, which cemented the theme of the weekend. I quickly went from cynical to open-minded and Iโll attribute that entirely to Rina. I donโt know if she realises how good she is! Intelligent, well-studied and well-travelled, Rina brought such a wealth of knowledge and understanding to the retreat. Her communication skills are first-class and she read the group and the individuals in it perfectly. Her views are based on years of study and experience and her set-up is one of real substance and integrity.ย
The information we were given as part of regular group discussions was brilliant, the Yoga and Meditation sessions were nothing short of enlightening (yes, I actually just wrote that!) and the relaxed walks in nature were a beautiful way to reset. The sense of community Rina developed within our group (which was very diverse and could easily have fragmented) grew over the weekend and I noticed us gravitating to each other a lot more as time went on. It was such a beautiful space of kindness, completely lacking in ego or judgement, and you could see everyone starting to flourish and thrive among a bunch of people they only just met. This part, for me, was profound. Immediately after the Autumn Cleanse I genuinely could not recall the last time I felt so energised and vital. A week later Iโm calmer, happier and the approach to food and nutrition we experienced on the retreat has stayed with me. Itโs had a huge impact on my Mum too, and her diet is quite transformed as she continues her journey to health whilst living with cancer. In a nutshell (organic nuts, obviously ;) this cleanse was exactly what I needed and exactly when I needed it. Iโd no idea it would end up being such a fundamental experience, but what a super surprise and Iโm so grateful we went. Thank you Rina!"
