A day retreat including yoga, experiential work, meditation, deep relaxation and psycho-education, taking place at Flow Space in Dalston.
“To trust one’s mind and to know that one is worthy of happiness is the essence of self-esteem.” – Nathaniel Branden, The Psychology of self-esteem, 1969
On Saturday January 29th, we will be facilitating our first city day retreat. This will include all the therapeutic aspects of a Resurface retreat into day of creativity, self-discovery and self-care.
This retreat will focus on the concept of self-esteem: defining what it means and how to improve it.
The day will include yoga facilitated by Kristine, meditation, experiential work and deep relaxation with Barnaby, and pscho-education and experiential group work with Josh.
We encourage you to eat together but if you would prefer to eat elsewhere please do bring your own lunch or check out the many other places to eat in Dalston.
We have all yoga equipment but if you wish to bring your own mat please do so.
Dress for yoga/meditation in the morning. For the experiential we will use clay which doesn't stain so feel free to dress as you wish.
There is a consultation room and toilets in which to change.
