Description

Join us for a soul-nourishing afternoon of relaxation, creativity, and inner renewal at the Nurturing Autumn Retreat.

As the seasons turn and nature begins to let go, we too are invited to reflect, release, and realign with what truly matters. Following the wisdom of the Chinese Five Element calendar, autumn is a time of letting go and harvesting wisdom – and this beautiful retreat is designed to help you move gently with the rhythms of nature.

Sunday, October 12th, 2025 | 12:30pm – 5:30pm
St Clements Church, Edge Ln, Chorlton-cum-Heardy, Manchester, M21 9A
