YOGA | ADRIANNA ZACCARDI
Adrianna is a Teacher, Mentor, Reiki Master and Co-Creator of yearlong an online programme, Weave. She offer guidance and soul support for women. Through these various roles, Adrianna’s intention is to facilitate the journey back to the True Self – to guide you to feel and remember all that you are. Both her spirt and approach is grounded, clear, creative, sensual & spacious and her intention is to guide you from a state of “doing” towards a state of “being" so you can rest with the Truth of what is. Adrianna believe that your own experience acts as your greatest authority in life, and that all the answers are already inside of you. Be it through deep rest, dance, 1:1 work, or Reiki Adrianna is here to support and guide you to a place of understanding and acceptance, where you can see yourself clearly and therefore transform the way you see perceive the world.
During our time together, Adrianna will lead you through a a gentle but dynamic morning movement practice, combining various techniques and practices, along with yoga nidra. And in the afternoon, a deeply nourishing, full restorative practice.
As a ‘rest expert’ Adrianna’s restorative classes offer a chance - through stillness, support and silence - to practice being in your body, along with the balancing arts of acceptance and surrender.
All of which, will give your entire being an opportunity to recalibrate, heal and transform anything not serving.

MENUS | CHAYA KITCHEN
As ever, Laura and Lucy will be using organic, local and seasonal fruit and vegetables as the basis of the weekend’s menus. Full of tasty super foods, designed to nourish and energise you mentally and physically, our plant-based menus are always exciting - and beyond delicious.
Everything we create in the kitchen is nutritionally balanced and easy to digest, whilst being almost always entirely homemade, from the gluten-free breads to the plant mylks and raw chocolate. We don’t use processed or refined foods and our menus are naturally gluten, dairy and refined sugar-free. We like to create as much alkalinity in the body as possible with our food, with your best digestion in mind.
We promise each meal will be bursting with goodness and flavour and will look as good on your plate as feels in your stomach. This retreat will be especially directed at boosting your immune system and gut health, aligning with the transitions of the season.
Being super-foodie's at heart, we ensure there's absolutely never any compromise on any aspect of the eating experience. We look forward to surprising and delighting you in just how good truly healthy food can taste and feel.

Daisy has trained with Inspirational Breathing, The Wim Hof Method and Biodynamic Breathwork, alongside having a traditional pranayama practise for 20+ years. Her workshops are a fusion of all these invaluable practises. .
THE RETREAT
During our three days and three nights, you’ll have plenty of time and space to do whatever you feel - whether that be rambling through the countryside, or cosied up in your PJ’s with a book, we always encourage you to do whatever your body tells you. We curate a selection of tools and experiences for you to partake in - if you wish. However please know, there is no obligation to participate in any aspect of the retreat, it’s your time and our greatest wish is for you to honour yourself and your needs.
Although this isn’t a ‘digital detox’, during our retreats, we invite guests to disconnect as much as possible from the outside world. Meaning limiting (or completely avoiding id possible!) phone and internet use. In our experience, this supports a much deeper connection with the retreat experience and greater rejuvenation.
COVID
This retreat is designed to allow you to be able to follow your own personal approach to social distancing. There will be plenty of space on the grounds to separate yourself should you wish. We will not however be enforcing any social distancing or mask wearing.
We wish to lovingly point out that this retreat is about coming back to being together, in community. We believe that finding joy by being together, as a family, is one of the most needed medicines of our turbulent times. Therefore everyone who joins this retreat will do so at their own risk. Or rather, in their own trust!
With the above in mind, we ask that you tune in to your own feelings about being in a community space before signing up. Necessary and sensible precaution will be requested by all attendees. We are requesting full self-responsibility in regards to COVID protocol and this includes the following recommendations and actions:
Guests are recommended to self-isolate or limit social interaction during the week prior to the retreat
Temperature checks will be held upon arrival of all guests
Should any guests feel any symptoms they are concerned about, they are advised to not attend and will be able to transfer their payment to a future Chaya retreat
Meals will be served to the group on a shared table - however should you wish to eat separately this can be supported
Yoga will take place in a large barn, with plenty of space between guests
Yoga props will be distributed at the beginning of the weekend for continued personal use by individuals - however as always we encourage you to bring your personal favourites if you have them
Please ensure you take appropriate insurance for your retreat. Coverage to include cancellation of retreat due to force majeure (i.e. travel restriction enforced by the government) and Covid related illness. Should either of the above occur, we will do our best to transfer your booking to another retreat - but this cannot be guaranteed.
