🎃What a glorious last day of October we had yesterday!

🔊 We had Alistair Smith back at Claridge House to hold his brilliant Introduction to Sound Healing & Vocal Tai Chi Day Retreat.

With our manager and our marketing person joining in too, we didn’t document much as we were too involved – sorry! 🫣 But we’re so glad we did as it was an incredible experience – so here’s our quick review:

🎹 From a quick lesson on sound and the science behind it, to listening meditations and grounding humming meditations to understanding our connection and identity with our voices with vocal t’ai chi, it was a truly inspirational and emotional experience. It was also interesting to see how everyone in the group experienced the day differently and the range of feelings, sensations and thoughts that floated around.

✨Alistair closed the day with a guided meditation, leading into a 45 minute sound bath. With gongs, differing sized singing bowls, bows and bird and sea sounds, Alistair created a deeply relaxing and peaceful soundscape, immersed in sound and healing vibes.

🎃And of course, the day was fuelled by a special spooky lunch for Samhain / All Hallows Eve – a perfect communal gathering to debrief and reconnect.

💓 10/10 Would reccommend!! Thank you Alistair.

🎨This week we held a free Art Workshop called ‘Resting in Colour’ with Lucy Glancy.

💐It focused on mindful connection with the self, others and the natural world.

⏸️ It was a space where people could take a moment to pause, breathe and simply enjoy the process of creating. Through playful and intuitive mark making with different mediums, our guests came together to produce this beautiful collaborative piece and quite honestly, it’s pure joy to look at!

💓It was a reminder of the importance of slowing down, being present and just allowing joy to take over!

✨ What do you think?

❤️ Thank you to everyone that attended and to Lucy for such a fun morning! Comment below if you’d like to join in next time?
