Zion Sanctuary creates carefully considered retreat experiences designed to help people slow down, reconnect and return to what truly matters.

Autumn Equinox Retreat - Norfolk
As summer begins to soften into autumn, the Autumn Equinox offers us a natural moment to reflect, reset and gently move into the next season.
Throughout the summer we gather experiences, lessons, ideas and discoveries about ourselves. This retreat is an opportunity to slow down and give those experiences space to settle — to notice what has changed, what we would like to carry forward, and what we may be ready to leave behind.
As the seasons change around us, we can also begin to recognise the changing seasons within ourselves. Autumn naturally invites a little more rest, reflection and ease. Rather than rushing into what comes next, this day has been created to help you reconnect with yourself and integrate what the summer has shown you.
Throughout the retreat you will move through a carefully considered collection of practices and experiences, including yoga, meditation, breathwork, cacao, guided journaling, creativity, sauna, cold plunge, wild swimming and sound healing, alongside beautifully prepared organic food and drinks throughout the day.
You will also receive your own guided retreat journal, designed to accompany you through the entire experience. The journal explains each practice and modality, why we use it, where it may be helpful within our everyday lives, and gives you space after each experience to reflect on what arose and what you may wish to take forward.
At the back of the journal is a 28-day integration section, allowing the retreat to continue long after the day itself — helping you gently bring the practices, insights and intentions you discover into your everyday life.
The Journey Through the Day
Meet & Greet
Arrive, settle into the surroundings and meet the people sharing the day with you.
Introduction to the Day & Your Guided Journal
An introduction to the intention behind the retreat and how your journal can support you throughout the experience.
Cacao Ceremony
Opening the day intentionally and creating space to connect inwardly and with the group.
Meditation & Breathwork
Slowing the mind, regulating the nervous system and preparing the body for movement.
Yoga
A mindful movement practice to reconnect with the body, breath and present moment.
Organic Lunch
Beautifully prepared, nourishing food with time to relax and connect.
Guided Journaling & Creativity
Space to explore what has surfaced through the day, express yourself creatively and begin bringing your discoveries together.
Sauna, Cold Plunge & Wild Swimming
Moving between warmth, cold and nature — an opportunity to reconnect with the body, challenge yourself gently and experience deep presence.
Sound Healing
A deeply restorative experience allowing the body and mind to become still and everything from the day to begin settling into place.
Closing Ceremony
Coming back together to reflect, integrate and gently close the retreat before stepping into the season ahead.
Around 10 minutes of space will be left between each part of the day for journaling, quiet reflection, refreshments and toilet breaks. Nothing is intended to feel rushed — the spaces between the practices are just as important as the practices themselves.
A day to rest, reflect, reconnect and move with greater ease into autumn — taking what summer has taught you and giving it somewhere to land.
