New Year Summer Retreat 2021

Enter the New Year with a three-day retreat hidden away in amongst Australian native flora and wildlife at Riverdell Spiritual Centre. This Summer retreat will have you tapping into your playful child-like self where you are welcome to be as free and wild as you please. The invitation is there for you to come and experience what it is like to embody your own Sadhana (spiritual practice). We have scheduled time for not only the physical practice where we will dive into asana, pranayama & Meditation, but there is also specific time for reflection and self-study (svādhyāya). With a set and setting like this, there is no better time to go within and rediscover your purpose and mission, to set intentions for the new year and to reflect on the years that have gone.

Friendships will blossom, and connection will deepen over the course of the retreat. You will be encouraged to look at any limiting beliefs straight in the eye and transform them with love & acceptance. There is nothing more empowering than voicing your truth and truly being heard and seen by those around you.

About the facilitators,

Maddi Watson:

What made me first complete my 200hr YTT was the drive to know more about this incredible practice that was slowly changing my life from the way I look at it to the way I felt within my body. Since then the learning hasn’t stopped. I have started to broaden my knowledge completing a 50hr Yin YTT, Meditation & Mindfulness Training, Philosophy and Yoga Nidra training as well as my Reiki 1. It was an honour to be asked to facilitate this retreat at Riverdell and I have truly put my all into it. I look forward to the deep connections and soul growth we will all endure over this weekend.

Jasmine Hornby:

I have been practicing yoga for around 5 years (minus my childhood years with mum in front of the VHS) Initially I pursued yoga as a physical practice but as I continued on my path I realised that practicing yoga was so much more than the physical.

In 2016 I completed my 200 hour Hatha & Yin Teacher Training at the Yoga Barn in Ubud, Bali through the School of Sacred Arts. Since then I have completed my Pre-Natal teacher training and have just arrived home completely inspired from Peru after completing my advance 300 Hour Teacher Training with the Kula Collective.

I love my practice and teaching as it allows me space to soften, become present, digest and explore my experiences, sensations and thoughts.

I teach to provide individuals with a greater sense of self, moving back into their bodies and bringing the mind, body and breath back into union. I teach not just help the physical but the mental and emotional. I love watching people leave class feeling recharged and calm. My practice has helped me grow stronger both on and off the mat, and serves me as a daily reminder to live each moment more mindfully. Since my initial teacher training I have taught in many settings, in the local community through Bend and Mend, True North Yoga, Riverdell Spiritual Centre, Falls Festival and Well-Being programs in local schools and organisations.
