An intimate gathering of women in a safe + inspiring space. This is your moment to pause, breathe, restore + reflect.
WHAT DOES THE DAY LOOK LIKE
Our Anak's Mini Restorative Retreat will be an afternoon filled with fun, music, local vendors, mindful movement, guided meditation, soothing sound bath and of course, delicious food.
**Please remember to bring your own yoga mat
**Provincial Health Orders will be observed for this event, please check back for the latest updates, or email us with any specific questions. Thank you
THE KICKOFF
We'll be moving to good beats + a dance-filled sweat session led by Formation Studio. No you don't need to be a professional dancer by any means, you just have to be ready to have fun, enjoy some laughs + move to good music.
MINDFUL MOVEMENT
Then we'll be guided in mindful movement. What does that mean? The ladies from the House of A La Ligne will offer movement for all Humans to experience movement in a way that honours and celebrates their own unique journey. They'll transform the way you connect to your body and self through Pilates, Strength, and Pre & Post-Natal training.
GUIDED MEDITATION
We'll then get to slow down our afternoon, and be led in guided meditation. This will give us time to pause, breathe and reflect in a peaceful and safe space. We are excited to be led by Dora Kamau, for a grounding + inspiring practice.
SOUND BATH + YIN YOGA
We will close our afternoon together with slow + mindful Yin Yoga with Christine Wu + a soothing Sound Bath with RE By Barb, for a double dose of good vibes. If you haven't enjoyed a Sound Bath yet, you're in for a relaxing treat. Rhythmic sounds are created with crystal bowls to offer a relaxing practice for beautiful sound + space for energy healing. The end result is moving stagnant energy, feeling a weight has been lifted off your shoulders + gaining a sense of renewal.
Dharma Temple in collaboration with The Beaumont Studios is hosting an Outdoor Summer Yoga + Meditation Series.
This series will offer daily noon classes as a grounding centre to every weekday. Come together in community to transform The Beaumont’s lovely shaded courtyard into a temporary temple of mindfulness, breath, yoga asana (postures), rhythmic movement, and meditation.

Showing up authentically // A workshop series in collaboration with Gifted, by Nature x Woman to Woman.
As lockdown continues to ease in London, and we begin to socialise irl, it’s time to prioritise the lessons that we’ve learnt about ourselves in quarantine and to gently return inwards. Our virtual series encourages a sense of agency and choice, empowering our community:
To deepen an awareness of mind and body.
To authentically connect with likeminded women globally.
To actively set aside time for self care and personal development.
To proactively move towards a growth mindset.
To think about intersectional considerations, and how we can continue to be conscious about our privileges and diversify our feeds.
Our second workshop of the series is held by Christine Wu (she/her).
Deepening connection through meditation, movement, and sound, Christine shares a practice that invites you to move mindfully and with intention. This upcoming new moon aligns in a solar eclipse, darkening the sun. Let’s balance the strength of the moon's gravitational pull within our body's ocean, with a grounding and detoxifying practice and sound meditation. Do as much or as little as you like…the choice is always yours. Practice having agency over your body and thoughts on the mat, so you can become more present in your day-to-day living.
Give yourself permission to be nurtured. We can't wait to share space and continue to grow through all seasons with you!
Join Our Anak's GLOW UP 12-Week Online Offering and get inspired, motivated and supported like never before. Every week we'll be dropping new videos led by the most amazing, passionate and knowledgeable group of womxn entrepreneurs.

We’ll begin the evening with an informative look at how our bodies move through the phases of our cycle. Consider what it would feel like if you could prepare your work and social calendar according to which phase your body is responding to. We’ll then move through a yoga practice that you can incorporate in your home, or understand how to modify in group class settings. We'll end the evening with a sound meditation as you relax to the vibrations of Tibetan Singing Bowls.
