Imagining The Year Ahead. Yoga, Sound, Reflection, Creativity Retreat Day. Saturday 9th January

Saturday 9th January 2027 | 10.30 am – 4.30 pm

The Retreat New Forest
Lyndhurst Road, Hinton, Christchurch, Dorset BH23 7EF

A new year offers a natural moment to pause.

Before rushing into resolutions and plans, this is a day to step away from everyday busyness, take stock, and consider what you genuinely want more of in the year ahead.

Through yoga, meditation, sound, reflection and the creation of your own 2027 Vision Board, we’ll explore not only what you might like to do or achieve, but how you want to feel, live and be.

No resolutions. No perfect plans. Just time to reflect, imagine and create.

DURING THE DAY, YOU’LL HAVE SPACE TO:

Reflect on the year that has passed.
Notice what you’d like to leave behind and what you want more of.
Reconnect with what matters to you.
Explore your hopes and intentions for 2027.
Create your own personal vision board.
Enjoy yoga, meditation, sound and creative time.

PROGRAMME

10.30 am – 11.45 am | ARRIVE & RECONNECT

Somatic & Zen Yoga with Jane

A gentle morning practice combining somatic movement, Zen-inspired yoga, breath and meditation, giving you time to arrive, reconnect with your body and notice where you are now.

Theme: Where am I now?

12.00 pm – 12.45 pm | REFLECT & MAKE SPACE

Meditation, Reflection & Sound with Sarah

Before looking forward, we’ll take a little time to look back.

Through guided meditation, sound and journalling prompts, you’ll reflect on what the past year has brought, what you’ve learned, what you’re proud of, and what you’d like to make more room for.

12.45 pm – 1.45 pm | LUNCH

Bring your own nourishing lunch and enjoy time to eat, chat, take a walk or simply have a little space to yourself.

Tea, coffee and a healthy sweet treat will be provided.

1.45 pm – 3.15 pm | CREATE YOUR VISION FOR 2027

Vision Board Workshop with Sarah

Using words, images, colour and intuition, you’ll create a personal vision board for the year ahead.

Rather than simply making a list of goals, you’ll explore questions such as:

How do I want to feel? What would I love to experience? What do I want more of? What am I ready to say yes to?

No artistic ability is needed. This is about imagination, curiosity and giving yourself permission to dream.

3.15 pm – 4.15 pm | EMBODY YOUR VISION

Yin Yoga, Meditation & Sound Bath with Jane & Sarah

A spacious final practice combining supported Yin Yoga, meditation and sound.

An opportunity to step away from thinking about your intentions and simply experience the qualities and feelings you would like to carry into the year ahead.

4.15 pm – 4.30 pm | CLOSING CIRCLE

We’ll close the day by choosing a word or quality to accompany us into 2027.

Share yours if you wish, and leave with your vision board, your intention and perhaps a clearer sense of what you’d like to nurture in the year ahead.

PAUSE. REFLECT. IMAGINE. CREATE.
