JOIN US THIS AUTUMN AND LEARN HOW TO...

'Yield'

Embark on a Journey of Release and Surrender at our 1-Day Autumn Equinox Retreat.

Autumn invites us to let go. As light and darkness return to balance, the earth begins to soften, leaves loosen their hold and nature turns gently inward. It is a season of release, reflection and transition.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and explore the quiet wisdom of yielding; releasing what no longer needs to be carried and making space for what is ready to emerge.

 

“Yielding is the ability to receive support through the surfaces of the body and respond to that support.” 
— Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen

A 1-DAY EMBODIMENT RETREAT IN THE RAINFOREST

The Gifts of Yielding!

Release

Loosen your hold on what has completed. Autumn reminds us that letting go is a natural part of life, creating space for rest, renewal and new possibilities.

Release what no longer needs to be carried.

 

Softening

Meet change without bracing against it. Yielding allows the body to soften around what is present, conserving energy and opening us to greater ease, flexibility and choice.

Soften without surrendering yourself.

 

 

Trust

Allow life to unfold without forcing the outcome. As the trees release their leaves, autumn teaches us to trust the wisdom of timing and the quiet transformation taking place beneath the surface.

Trust what remains when you let go.

An Autumn Equinox Day of Release, Softening & Trust

 

There is a particular kind of freedom that becomes possible when we stop holding everything so tightly. When we step away from the noise, the demands and the relentless pressure to keep pushing forward, something within us begins to soften. We notice the changing light. The cooler air on our skin. The leaves loosening from the trees. The earth quietly preparing to turn inward.

We remember how to let go.

This Autumn Equinox, you are invited to spend a day reconnecting with the living world around you; and with the part of yourself that knows when it is time to soften, release and yield.

Yield is an invitation to loosen your grip, listen to the wisdom of your body and allow life to move at a rhythm that does not require force.

Through nature, sensory awareness, creative and contemplative practices, stillness, reflection and gentle embodied exploration, we will create space to slow down and listen differently. To soften. To release. To receive. To notice what becomes possible when we stop bracing against change and allow ourselves to be supported by the ground beneath us.

Yielding is not collapsing, submitting or giving yourself away. It is the embodied capacity to remain connected to yourself while meeting life with greater flexibility, responsiveness and trust.

This is a day for remembering that letting go is not the same as losing; it is how we make space for what is ready to emerge.

Come and spend a day beneath the trees, close to the earth, in good company and guided by the quiet wisdom of the more-than-human world.

Slow down. Soften your hold. Trust the unfolding.
Allow yourself to yield.

THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY.

Hi! I'm Monique.

I WILL BE YOUR GUIDE SUPPORTING YOU TO YIELD, SO YOU CAN FINALLY BE HELD

 

As an eco-somatic therapist and trauma-informed educator, I’ve spent over two decades exploring the intelligence of the body and the healing power of the earth.

My own journey with yielding began not in textbooks, but in moments when my body had no choice but to soften; through grief, burnout and the long path of returning to myself. Through Somatic Experiencing®, expressive arts and nature-based practices, I’ve come to understand yielding as a sacred, embodied YES to support, rest and deep belonging.

I now guide womxn and non-binary folk into this tender terrain where nervous systems settle, instincts awaken and a wild kind of wisdom is remembered.
