Welcome to a 1 Day Equinox Retreat with the Open Shala

This retreat comes at a beautiful time of the year as the dark months are now over and we move into the warmth of the light. Equinox gives us a beautiful opportunity to open up to our dreams and creative spirit - a fresh energy to inspire this new beginning. It’s also a chance to drop into meditation and allow yourself to acknowledge what has had to shed to arrive here.

I hope to tailor a day that allows you to meet your aliveness as well as reflect and find stillness throughout the day
