Move like water – nourishing day retreat

24 May

An immersive, reflective and creative exploration of the Blue Mind State.

Sunday 24 May from 10am to 4pm.

A nourishing day retreat inspired by Hannah Stowe (author, illustrator, mariner and marine biologist) and her new book Move Like Water exploring the calming, creative and restorative power of Water – taking part at Jesus Green Lido and The Breathing Space on Grange Road.

Three benefits:

* Feel deeply calm and reset your nervous system
* Reconnect with clarity, creativity and inner spaciousness
* Experience a sense of ease, flow and emotional lightness

What to expect:

Immerse – Part I – 10am 

With the support of Jesus Green Lido, our event starts by the sides of the lido with a water-inspired flow by Rachael Moore. We then take the plunge with a cold water swim, followed by a sauna, pastries and a coffee.

Reflect – Part II – 12.30

We then gather at the Breathing Space studio for a reading from Hannah’s award-winning auto-biographical novel Move Like Water.  Hannah will lead reflections on the philosophy of the book.

The reading will be followed by a movement practice led by Emily Leslie, infused with concepts from her own experiences and philosophy of Blue Mind, interwoven with concepts in Hannah’s novel, to encourage us to reflect upon the way water within and around us influences our lived experiences.

Create – Part III – 14.00

In a journalling activity led by Hannah, participants will examine how principles of navigation resonate with a yogic practise.

Close – Part IV- 15.30

A Breath-work practice led by Hannah, who often engages in pranayama practices during challenging situations at sea.
