Without fail every January I run a detox style workshop to beat those January blues, to fire up the body in the winter, get the blood moving and our muscles active as many of us, understandably, hibernate, eat, drink and be merry. Christmas is one of my most favourite times of the year but January can bring with it some unwanted energy and emotions as another year has come to an end and a new year begins. Therefore these workshops, most importantly I feel, are to start the new year with positive intentions and goal setting and this time we are doing it with a twist!

My friend and journalist Sasa and I have decided to team up to bring you a mini day retreat to include yoga, a short creative writing session to tap into your desires, a visualisation meditation, lunch and an afternoon creating a vision board for 2020. Here is some blurb...

Whether it's an email to your boss, a card for a friend, or even just a post-it note stuck on the fridge reminding the family that you're working late, you write every day to communicate with other people... but how often do you write to communicate with yourself? Sasa Jankovic is an award winning journalist, poet and author whose 'Write it Out' journalling workshop will show you how the simple act of putting pen to paper can help clear mental clutter so you can reduce stress, get more productive and creative, and be honest with yourself about what you really want to achieve - and how to get there. All you need to bring along is a notebook, a pen, and an open mind.

Like the sound of that? As I mentioned, alongside this we will be creating a vision board. This is a really powerful way to create the life you want using images, photos and words. We provide the material: A3 board, glue and magazines/images/words and you just need to bring yourself and your visions. An idea of a vision board is below. There is no right and wrong way to do this! It is completely personal to you but if you think this could be for you start stashing any magazines away, they will come in handy.

The event will be held at The Yoga Lounge, Egham

£100 to include yoga, lunch, unlimited tea & coffee, writing workshop and vision board materials

Spaces limited to 14
