Schedule of the Day
10.00am Welcome
You'll be welcomed and meet fellow guests and your hosts for the day Kay and Christina.
Our friend Sangeeta will serve delicious warm chai drinks and savoury biscuits while you settle into the stunning Cotswolds views and surroundings.
10.30am Neurographic Art workshop
Our resident art expert Kay will guide you through the Neurographic intuitive session, which allows you to express your creativity and feelings through colour, movement and shapes. This process starts with a simple shape that is unique to you, you’ll be putting thought to paper in a way that expands healing, understanding of self, and self-awareness. Each aspect of the art will be unique to you. Under Kay’s expert hand, you’ll end up with a visual representation of your inner world. It could be surprising, it could be challenging, it could be beautiful – but it will be yours and yours alone.
12.30pm Lunch
Local chef Sangeeta will serve seasonal and flavoursome warm salads to nourish and replenish you.
Lunch may be served outside weather permitting.
1.30-3.30pm Lie down and Listen experience
Christina will introduce you to the modality of sound healing and the importance of listening, and how we could tune inwards into expansion.
You’ll then settle back onto a soft mattress as Christina guides you through deep relaxation via Tibetan bowl sound healing and a bespoke classical piano concert experience.
These beautiful resonances, alongside the natural sounds of the countryside will allow you to reflect on the work experienced in Kay’s Neurographic session, a wonderful time for integration and reflection.
