Winter Solstice: Rest, Reflect and Renew
This weekend retreat coincides with the powerful energy of the darkest night, the winter solstice.
On the longest night of the year, the moon energy, the yin/feminine/intuitive energy, is at its strongest and is the perfect time to pause, look deeply within and reflect on what is happening in your life.
Over the weekend, you will honour this annual turning point with lots of rest and stillness, nourishing food, walking, nature, yoga, chanting, breathing exercises, deep relaxation and (weather permitting) a special winter solstice fire ritual.
About Retreats at Clearview
This is a range of workshops and retreats to expand and deepen your understanding of yoga and meditation. In a class situation, you often only get to practice postures. Yoga has an insightful, practical and fascinating body of knowledge regarding the workings of the mind and soul, as relevant today as it was 4,000 years ago.
Each Weekend Mountain Yoga Retreat involves yoga classes, relaxation, meditation, some periods of silence, and guided walks. The structure of each workshop is the same, but different themes are focused on each weekend. Two-day retreats have five yoga sessions. Three-day retreats have seven yoga sessions. Four-day retreats have nine yoga sessions.
Free time between yoga sessions allows guests to rest and explore the natural beauty of Victoria. Optional massage can be booked separately. Class sizes are kept small and students of all levels of experience are welcome.
If there are areas of particular interest or special needs, i.e. injuries or pregnancy, please let us know in advance so we are able to better tailor the program to suit you.
Home-cooked, delicious, inspiring vegetarian meals are provided, beginning with Friday night dinner. Special diets are catered for.
