Preparing for Hunter's Moon: A Half Day Retreat

The old names for this moon come from the season rather than sentiment. The harvest is in, the fields are bare, the light is short, and everything that survives the coming months is doing so on what it has already gathered. Autumn asks us a practical question: what have you actually got in store?

Spend the afternoon in the warmth of the Palm House taking stock of that, while the last of the long evenings goes on outside.

We will practise with the season rather than against it. Slower, lower, more grounding, weighted towards the hips and the low back where we hold the year. Long holds. Breath that settles rather than stimulates. Nothing that asks you to be brighter than you feel.
