A brief outline of the day

The Menopause retreat session is 5 hours long. 
 
10-10.45am Settling in and house keeping and morning Yoga stretch
10.45-11.45am 
Firstly, we will start with an informal chat, opening up a dialogue about Menopause, our symptoms, and what the stages are that we go through, finding the connections between us, and reminding ourselves, that we are not alone. 
We’ll be talking about journaling, and how it helps us to track our symptoms and make sense of our feelings, enabling us to predict when the symptoms might be worse, and realise that knowledge is power. This will lead into our talk from Ave, a local trainee counselling psychologist, discussing our mental health during Menopause. 
Followed by a 15 minute refreshment break.
12-1.30pm
We’ll then start our yoga practice with meditation and breathing techniques, moving into yoga poses all specifically picked to help with different emotional symptoms such as stress, anxiety, mood swings (Meno rage!), depression,and trouble sleeping, but also physical symptoms such as pain, mobility, rebuilding strength, and improving bone density throughout the different stages we may experience during our menopause journey.
Followed by a 30 minute snack and refreshment break.
2pm-3pm  
Our second half will then begin, with Rebecca Thompson from Treetop Hypnotherapy, who will be explaining all about how CBT hypnotherapy can help you and giving you tools to take away, then she will be leading a 30 minute Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy session. Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach, that utilises hypnosis to promote positive changes in an individual’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
It combines elements of psychotherapy and hypnosis, to help individuals achieve specific goals, overcome challenges, or improve their overall well-being. Each workshop will have a different theme and focus.
 
3pm-3.45pm 
Finishing with a relaxing and delicious sound bath. A sound bath involves being bathed in sound and vibrations from different instruments, such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, tuning forks and other instruments. Sound baths can guide you into a state of deep relaxation, to enable you to let go of stress, anxiety and worries, lowering heart rate, breathing rate and blood pressure.
3.45-4pm
Closing the session and questions.

Previous workshop feedback

I am not alone, I learnt so much about the menopause, very relaxed and ready to take care of myself. Brilliant experience!

What a lovely experience to share. Thank you. Being with others and hearing them is important.

Such a very welcoming and calm atmosphere. Lovely to be with a group of ladies so passionate about healing themselves during this time of our lives.

Thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Enjoyed the sisterhood of joining with other people with the same feelings as me. Enjoyed the ‘wool circle’ I didn’t want to let go of my end. Sound bath was amazing!

I thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Learnt lots about menopause from listening to others. Loved the yoga and will definitely continue at home. The sound bath was so amazing and relaxing. Thank you all so very much!
