New Year – New Vision Intention Setting Day

A Day Retreat at Bridge Farm where you’re going to rest and restore from all that Christmas busyness and envision how you would like to see 2026 unfold.

What to expect:

Yoga–Qigong Fusion is a beautiful and powerful combination of two ancient mind–body disciplines: Yoga, which originated in India, and Qigong, which comes from China. Both cultivate life energy (called prana in yoga and qi in qigong) through movement, breath, and awareness — but they emphasize different qualities that complement each other perfectly.

Flow Dance Meditation the Silent Disco Way is a practice that combines elements of free-form dance, meditation, and flow state psychology. It’s designed to help you enter a state of presence, release tension, and connect more deeply with your body and emotions through spontaneous movement. Using headphones helps you immerse fully in this experience and the specially curated music provides a rhythmic anchor for your movement or stillness.

Candle making and Candle gazing

Making your own candles is surprisingly rewarding and is a practical and creative activity with emotional benefits. You will get to choose your essential oil to scent the candle, so it reflects your personality or the intentions you set. You can also express your creativity by embedding dried flowers or herbs from the grounds of Bridge Farm. These candles will be eco-friendly and healthier because there are made from beeswax.

Candle gazing also known by its Sanskrit name Trataka is a traditional meditation technique where you focus your gaze on the flame of a candle to develop concentration, mindfulness, and inner stillness. This practice activates the Manipura or Solar Plexus Chakra which is the energy centre that activates your will power and stimulates the sense of sight.

Crystal meditation is a mindfulness or energy practice that uses crystals or gemstones to help focus the mind, balance emotions, and provides spiritual growth. Reaching out for crystals during meditation help with focus and many believe that crystals and gemstones carry vibrational energies that align with specific intentions or emotional states. As with the candle, you will take home your chosen crystal which will support you throughout 2026 and beyond.

In tune with the seasonal wisdom found in both yoga’s Ayurveda and qigong’s Five Elements theory, a nourishing lunch and refreshments will be provided so you replenish prana and harmonize qi. Our goal is to sustain your energy without heaviness, so digestion stays smooth and vitality remains high.

Please bring your own Yoga mat, a blanket and a pillow if you use these for relaxation, but all other equipment needed will be provided.

Reach out if you have any questions.
