Heart-to-Heart: An Asia Immersion
An embodied immersion where practice and place dissolve into each other and life becomes quiet enough to be heard again. These Heart-to-Heart immersions are not yoga holidays. They are time away from the pace of everyday life, into practice, presence and a more intimate relationship with the body and the world around us.
Through yoga, breath, meditation, movement and stillness, we make contact with the quiet intelligence alive within us. The practices become a form of remembrance. As the outer world softens, what remains is attention, simplicity, and the quiet unfolding of experience as it is.
How the retreats unfold
The retreats move in a rhythm, with an oscillation between longer immersions in Asia and shorter retreats in Europe and the UK. When we travel further, into deeper time in places like India, life becomes slower, simpler, and more inward. These are deeper periods of practice, where attention naturally begins to settle.
The following year, we stay closer to home in the UK and Europe, with shorter retreats held in nature. These hold a different quality, yet still carry quiet and depth.
This rhythm allows the work to stay alive over time. Depth without depletion. Immersion without separation from ordinary life.
Longer immersions in places such as India and Sri Lanka, where life becomes slower, simpler, and more inward.
These are deeper periods of practice — a stepping away from the pace of everyday life into stillness, simplicity, and embodied presence.
I hold these immersions every other year, allowing time for depth, integration, and return.
Europe 2027 - Closer Journeys
Alongside the longer immersions in Asia, there are also shorter retreats held closer to home. These are still deeply immersive, but shaped by a different rhythm - more lightness and space for life to remain in the background while practice continues.
This includes both European nature-based retreats and UK silent retreats in Devon, held in simplicity and stillness, with a focus on meditation and embodied practice.
I am currently exploring possible locations for 2027, drawn to places in nature such as Italy, Montenegro, Devon and other landscapes where silence and simplicity are still present.
Late summer / early autumn 2027 (in exploration). This is unfolding slowly, in conversation with the land and the spaces themselves. If you would like to be kept updated as this takes shape, you are welcome to leave your details below.
Asia - Pilgrimage Immersions
There are also longer stays that move closer to the heart of life. These deeper periods, often in Asia, become a pilgrimage into simplicity, stillness and practice.
I am currently in conversation with a number of spaces in Sri Lanka for 2028, with the intention of creating a longer, more spacious retreat where there is time to settle into practice and the natural rhythm around us.
At the moment this is in the early stages. If you would like to hear more as this unfolds, you are welcome to join the Sri Lanka 2027 waiting list.
The rhythm of these retreats
These retreats move in a natural rhythm across the year.
Every other year I hold longer immersions in Asia, where life becomes quieter, simpler and more inward.
The following year I hold a silent retreat in Devon, rooted in stillness and meditation. That same year, there are also a European nature-based retreat, which sit between these two, held in warmth, beauty, and simplicity.
Together, they create a balanced cycle of depth, silence and integration. If you would like to stay connected as these retreats unfold, you are welcome to get in touch suing the button below the different retreats
