MINI RETREAT
SOMATICS & SOUND
Sunday 26 April
3-5.30PM
The Cross Barn, Odiham
An immersive collaboration between Courtney Freedman-Thompson of Chameleon Coaching and Claire Beasley.
A space to move, to rest, to feel.
Movement and sound are primal. Before words, before performance, before productivity… We moved. We listened. We felt rhythm and vibration in our bodies.
This afternoon at the historic Cross Barn is an invitation back to that.
A gently guided journey blending:
Somatic movement and embodied exploration
Grounding practices to support safety and presence
A deeply restorative sound bath
Guided meditation
Somatic journalling and reflection
Herbal tea and space for integration
Closing circle
This is not about doing or getting it ‘right’. It is about being in the moment and listening to your own body. Reconnecting back to yourself in a way that feels good.
THE EXPERIENCE
We will begin slowly, arriving through guided somatic practices that support connection to breath, sensation and internal rhythm.
Movement will be invitational and low-demand. You are always welcome to modify, pause, sit or lie down.
From there, you will be held in an immersive sound meditation facilitated by Claire, using Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, chimes and other therapeutic instruments. The vibrations and tones create a supportive environment for rest, release and integration.
We will close with reflection, warm tea and gentle community connection.
This afternoon is especially supportive if you are:
Feeling stretched or depleted
Longing for deeper reconnection with your body
Wanting space to soften and receive
Navigating transition or change
Simply in need of quiet restoration
