Reset and Rebalance with Emma Garland
Reset and Rebalance with Emma Garland
Friday 17th January 2025
9:30am-2:00pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.
Start the New Year by reconnecting with your body alongside a true expert at this warm and friendly day for seasoned yogis and beginners completely new to yoga. This is a day of knowledge and learning; a restful, restorative day allowing you to reconnect with yourself and with nature.
As your guide, Emma Garland puts it:
“Our body speaks to us all the time, but with busy lives we don’t always listen. We’re not always in tune or even in sync with our bodies. Stress and worries of the mind show up in the body, too. And certain times of the year don’t always help either.
Whether we hold tension in our muscles, like our back, shoulders and hips; or it shows up in our work or daily tasks with an inability to focus on the task in hand; we need the tools to learn new habits or even unlearn old, bad habits.”
Reset your nervous system to manage stress more effectively:
“We’ll be looking to rest and rebalance our nervous systems, both our parasympathetic nervous system (the chilled one) and the sympathetic nervous system (the action one).
When we can find this balance, we can increase our heart rate variability (HRV) (AKA our heart health) and decrease our resting heart rate (RHR).
Balancing these two will improve your overall health, increase our longevity and result in a balanced, and better, nervous system.”
£45 per person
Timings
9:45am: Meet, greet, walk and breathe through The Walled Garden.
In this restorative day for yourself; and maybe friends or loved ones, we’ll start the day with a hot drink around the fire pit, before heading off for a walk around the beautiful Walled Garden of Hawarden Estate. We’ll take this walk up to the Old Castle, where we’ll enjoy some various breath work techniques, designed to warm us up from the outside in; whilst enjoying the breathtaking rural views from the top of the hill. It’s an opportunity to discuss old habits and perhaps plant seeds for new habits to grow.
11am: Move, breathe and flow.
We’ll head back to roll out our yoga mats (indoors) whilst still feeling connected with the natural world. We’ll enjoy flowing movement to expand our bodies and hearts. When we expand and open our chest, we can fully feel our inner power within. Our posture is greatly improved and we can allow ourselves to feel the finer muscles within our bodies that may need to be awakened.
12:15pm: Relaxation
We’ll cosy up under thick wool blankets and hot water bottles and be guided through a deep relaxation for the ultimate experience in self-care. These are the tools you can use to take with you to create new habits and routines to help you find a more balanced nervous system.
1pm: Refuel
Lunch from the award-winning Hawarden Estate Farm Shop is included. We’ll round up our restorative day with a hearty, warming lunch to fuel our bodies and minds and chat with like-minded new friends.
2pm: Time to say goodbye
All equipment, food and and drink throughout the day is provided.

Clarity Techniques

Plan for Action
Finally, we’ll work together to create an actionable plan, breaking down at least one of your goals into achievable steps. This will leave you feeling motivated and ready to take your first steps toward success.
Why Attend?
This workshop isn’t just about setting goals for the year ahead - it’s about connecting with others, gaining practical tools, and leaving with a sense of clarity, empowerment, and purpose.
A Supportive Environment
This session is designed for women who want to start the year with intention and focus, regardless of where they’re currently at. You don’t need to have it all figured out - this workshop is a space for discovery, planning, and encouragement.

£90 PER PERSON

About the workshop, as told by Gaz:
Are you harbouring a desire to be able to sharpen your own tools? Does it feel within your reach but still somehow completely unfathomable?
As a professional knife sharpening service we speak with our customers about this topic a lot, so much so we've lost count of how many times we've heard...
"I'd really like to be able to sharpen my own knives/tools but I'm worried about ruining them."
"I've had a whetstone for years but I've never got around to learning how to use it."
"I'm not really sure about the angles."
...and these are absolutely valid reasons for being wary of getting started, properly sharpening tools using traditional methods can be tricky, but by breaking down the process and giving you a little guidance along the way, we're confident you'll leave the workshop with the skills you need become a competent and confident home sharpener.
We’ll start the workshop with a lesson in the all important sharpening theory, then we’ll give a comprehensive demonstration of the techniques you’ll need to know before moving on to a big chunk of time for you to sharpen your own tools under our guidance.

Gail is an expert, so you can also pick her brains throughout the workshop.
£80 PER PERSON
A snack and unlimited tea and coffee included.
About Gail Bryson
Gail is a textile, graphic and product designer. She specialises in simple and graphic prints that complement a wide range of home styles.
Trained at Edinburgh College of Art, she developed her design skills at The Conran Shop and The Nest before subsequently becoming co-founder and creative director of Bryson Loxley. Amongst her clients there are John Lewis and Jamie Oliver. She has also collaborated individually with other small independent businesses on a wide range of projects over the years.
Gail is a firm believer that good design will always last the test of time. Her products are designed to last both in design and manufacture, and are mainly all hand-printed and hand-sewn in London. Ultimately, her aim is to create things that can passed down through the generations, like the collection of linen she has inherited from her own family.
Colour also plays a big part in Gail’s work. Combinations are dreamed up from photographs taken on her travels and provide inspiration back in her studio.

Brush Making with Ellie Birkhead
Brush Making with Ellie Birkhead
A keyboard brush? A beard brush? A crumb brush?
During this workshop Ellie will pass on the skills learnt from one of England’s last brushmakers for you to make your very own brushes for the home.
About the workshop:
Ellie will teach an age old brush binding technique before giving you the opportunity to get creative with making your own designs. You will be introduced to the pillar drill and learn simple woodworking techniques to be able to craft your own handle, as well as having the chance to experiment with a mixture of bristle materials, from old fishing nets to plant materials.
Immersing yourself into the autumnal landscape, you’ll be given the chance to forage for fibres and connect craft and place.
£100 PER PERSON
Lunch and unlimited tea and coffee included.
About Ellie
Ellie Birkhead is a designer, maker and facilitator who uses the power of craft and creativity to bring about social change. Ellie is passionate about passing on hand skills to people of all ages to build confidence and a deeper understanding and appreciation for natural materials and crafted objects.
Ellie’s broad background in making spans from creating props for film and tv, designing for the luxury craft sector, through to facilitating family workshops - but the thread that runs through it all is a love for making, for conversation and connection across the workbench, and a desire to be surrounded by beautifully made objects.
