Colour & Flow: gentle yoga and natural dyeing day retreat

A one-day gentle yoga and natural dye retreat in the Wicklow Mountains

Take a day to disconnect from your everyday life and reconnect to your body, your creative spirit and the web of life around you! Join Jenise O'Brien from Wicklow Soul Yoga and Malú Colorín from Talú in a one day retreat that taps into your curiosity and that elusive sense of childlike awe.

This day is an invitation to give your body and soul some breath work, meditation and gentle yoga. You're also invited to reconnect to the landscape while foraging for colour sources, before getting creative with a natural dyeing for textiles workshop. 

What you'll leave with:
🔸 Your very own naturally dyed tote bag made of Irish linen
🔸 A recipe booklet with instructions and formulas to take your natural dyeing learning further
🔸 An invigorating feeling after practicing gentle yoga and breathwork
🔸 A nourished soul after spending quality time with new friends by the Poulaphouca Reservoir
