Elemental Alchemy Half Day Retreat

Elemental Alchemy: An indulgent half day retreat, connecting with Elemental wisdom through Yogic practices

Step into the sacred rhythm of the elements and immerse yourself in a transformational day retreat inspired by Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Elemental Alchemy is an embodied journey through yoga, sound, and soul—designed to reconnect you with the primal forces of nature and the deeper layers of your being.

Throughout the day, you’ll be guided through a dynamic blend of practices, each rooted in an element:

Earth – Begin the day by anchoring deeply into the present moment with a nourishing Earth Meditation. You’ll be guided to connect with the solid, steady presence beneath you—tuning into the sensation of gravity, weight, and support.

Air – In the realm of the air element, we find movement, expansion, clarity, and freedom. Air governs the breath—our most vital, subtle, and transformative life force. Kriya Yoga practices aligned with this element use intentional breathwork, dynamic energy movements, and focused awareness to cleanse the energetic channels (nadis), still the mind, and elevate consciousness.

Fire – Stoke your inner flame with a Slow Fiery Flow inviting transformation, energy, willpower, passion, and the inner light of your awareness. In the body, fire governs the solar plexus—Manipura Chakra—our centre of power, confidence, and digestion (both physical and emotional).

Water –The water element is the essence of fluidity, intuition, emotional depth, and surrender. It invites us to soften, feel, and flow—both within the body and through the deeper layers of consciousness. The energy of water will be gently awakened and embodied through a trio of deeply restorative practices: Hybrid Yin Yoga (floor based yoga transitioning into the arial silks), Yoga Nidra, and Sound Healing.

The day also includes Kirtan, a heart-opening practice of devotional song that bridges the elements, inviting you to express and connect through voice and vibration. Held in a nurturing space, this retreat offers a powerful container for self-discovery, energetic balance, and alchemical renewal. Leave feeling grounded, uplifted, and deeply in tune with the elemental wisdom within and around you.

Please note: Lunch and snacks will be provided during the event, with all options being vegetarian and gluten-free. If you have any specific dietary requirements or allergies, please contact us directly so we can accommodate your needs.

Your Hosts:

Monique: Monique is a local Yoga Teacher, NLP Life Coach, Reiki Teacher and Student Psychotherapist. She is passionate about creating safe spaces that welcome people home to themselves in a gentle nurturing way. The modalities Monique has accrued over her years of being in the industry have all lead toward Nervous System Care and Empowering people to live more in alignment with what feels like an authentic representation of themselves.

She loves to create inclusive safe spaces that allows for depth through the subtle arts of talk therapy, Crystal Bowl Sound Baths, Reiki, Yoga (especially Yin Yoga) and Kirtan, and holds space for integration at the end of all spaces she opens. Monique cares deeply about living in alignment with a greater sense of harmony with the world around us. She believes we are a microcosm of a macrocosm and through the crafts she facilitates, opens a path to navigating what that greater sense of inner harmony might be from an embodied perspective.

PJ: Penny, also known as PJ, has been drawn toward a spiritual way of living and the mind-body connection from a young age. In 2017, Penny attended her first Tantric workshop—a moment that felt like coming home. That experience sparked a deeper exploration into Tantric living, eventually leading her to study Tantric and Yin Yoga Teacher Training in 2020. In August 2023, she also completed Trauma-Informed Movement & Facilitation Training. Penny fell in love with yoga the moment her feet first touched the mat in 2018. Since then, yoga has become an integral part of her life. She continues to live and breathe the yogic system, always remaining a student—ever-curious and committed to going deeper.

In addition to her work in the wellness space, Penny also works within the Community Services sector. She completed a Diploma of Community Services in 2014 and has since supported a wide range of individuals on their personal journeys toward recovery and healing. In classes Penny weaves together both her professional paths—yoga and community work—while drawing from her rich tapestry of lived experience. She views yoga not just as a physical practice, but as a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and empowerment. Her classes are rooted in personal storytelling, creating spaces that inspire others to embrace their own paths, connect to their inner strength, and become positive forces within their communities. Penny believes that everyone has the potential to heal themselves, becoming a healthy cell in a universal body. In her class you will be energetically held as you push through perceived limitations, come face to face with moments of self-realisation and exploration.
