A Soulful Day of Sound, Stillness & Community
On a bright and peaceful day, we gathered for a truly nourishing experience — a Sound Yoga Retreat that brought together movement, music, healing, and heartfelt connection.
We began our journey with an hour of restorative yoga, allowing our bodies to gently awaken and our minds to arrive fully in the present. With mindful breath and grounding movement, the space filled with calm energy and quiet intention.
From there, we moved into a deeply immersive sound healing session led by Renuka, who was joined by Reiki energy healing to support deep inner rest. Vibrations from the singing bowls and sacred sounds guided us into a meditative state where stress melted and stillness settled in.
Midway through the day, we paused for a sensory treat — golden turmeric, creamy matcha, and beautiful pink lattes served with slices of homemade cake. It was a moment of sweetness and warmth, shared in conversation and quiet appreciation.
Sally and Chrissie then held us in a spellbinding musical embrace with the harmonious tones of the harmonium and ukulele. The energy shifted once again — a soft invitation to sing, to listen, and to simply be in the music.
We were fortunate to spend the day in the serene space of Sancta Bookstore Café — a haven for peaceful reflection and soul-filled conversation. As the day drew to a close, we gathered for a vibrant vegetarian supper, enjoying fresh, delicious dishes and the connection of kindred spirits.
One of our participants, Steph, shared this heartfelt reflection:
“The yoga day was FANTASTIC. Restorative yoga to gently move our bodies, followed by a healing sound bath session, juices and homemade cake, followed by kirtan, and then a delicious healthy meal together. Danya organised the day to incorporate different activities and bring together amazing people to create a very special and unique day. A beautiful experience from start to finish.”
To everyone who joined us — thank you for your openness, your presence, and your beautiful energy. This day was a reminder of how nourishing it can be to pause, breathe, and reconnect — with ourselves and with one another.
Until next time 🌿
