🍁AUTUMN DAY RETREAT
🌱@southcombarn Dartmoor
🔥Yoga | Seasonal Soup & Sourdough | Fire Cider Making Workshop
🧅Sunday 26th October, 10am - 3pm
🌶️£60 + optional sauna for an additional £15 (3.30pm - 4.30pm)

As the nights draw and we fully step into autumn, we are delighted to host a special day retreat at Southcombe Barn that will support and resource you for the cooler, darker months ahead.

The day will begin with an embodied yoga workshop hosted by Dartmoor based teacher Harriet Herb. We’ll focus on tools and techniques to sooth your nervous system and resource your immune system, finishing with an extended guided relaxation.

Lunch will be a hearty and healthy soup made with organic, local vegetables with sourdough from @wearebriarbakery

Totnes based herbalist Mariam, from Radical Plant Folk, will then guide a Fire Cider Workshop where you’ll learn how to make your own immune tonic to help you fight off colds and flus over the winter.

Fire Cider is a warming tonic made with vinegar and a mix of herbs and spices, many of which you can find in your own kitchen. In this workshop we will be delving into the medicinal properties of each herb and then have the chance to get creative and make your own combinations. We will be using a mix of herbs and roots grown in the herb garden alongside kitchen herbs like onion, garlic, ginger etc.

For those of you wanting to extend the day and heat up from the inside out, you can pay an additional £15 to use the gorgeous wood fired sauna (and optional cold plunge!)
