COURSE
Light Within The Dark: A Flow Through Winter’s Inner Season
With Mark Rowland
As the light fades and the days grow shorter, our inner landscape often shifts too. This 5-day course is designed to help you move through the winter months with compassion, presence, and positivity. You’ll explore how to work with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the natural rhythms of darkness and rest, learning to find warmth within. Each day combines gentle teaching with a guided meditation, inviting you to slow down, nourish your energy, and discover the quiet beauty this season holds.
