THE POWER WITHIN
ONE DAY URBAN RETREAT
Sunday August 16th | 11am-5pm |
Our Yoga Space Studio | Mosman | NSW
The Power Within is a carefully curated one-day urban retreat designed to reconnect you with the intelligence of your body, the clarity of your breath, and the deeper current that moves beneath thought.
This is not about escape or looking for something outside of you. It is about returning to what is already here and what is already within.
Through Qi Gong, Yin, Spiritual Inquiry (Dharma), and an immersive Expansion Breathwork experience, this day weaves body, mind, and spirit into a unified whole. It is designed to regulate your nervous system, restore energetic flow, and reconnect you with your own inner authority.
Led by Em Cruickshank and Mark Moon, this is a held and embodied space for genuine exploration, offering a grounded yet expansive glimpse into the depth of our longer retreats while standing powerfully on its own.
Who are our One Day Urban Retreats for?
This day is for those ready to meet themselves more honestly. It is for people who value depth over hype and embodied practice over surface-level inspiration.
Whether you are curious about our longer retreats or simply want one powerful day dedicated to embodied inquiry, structured practice, and genuine connection, this space meets you where you are and moves you forward.
What You’ll Walk Away With
Practical tools to regulate your nervous system in real time
A direct experience of breath as a force for clarity and renewal
Greater emotional fluidity and grounded presence
Insight into the patterns shaping your inner world
A deeper relationship with your own energy and power
The Flow of the Day
Morning Regulation and Grounding
We begin by slowing down. A grounding Qi Gong practice softens the edges and helps you land fully in your body. Slow, intentional movement settles the nervous system, opens energy pathways, and creates space to arrive not just physically but internally.
Spiritual Inquiry and Dharma
Clarity precedes change. Before Breathwork, we explore the theme of the day through guided spiritual inquiry. Rather than a lecture, this is a structured conversation exploring your Dharma, energy, perception, and the patterns shaping your experience. The intention is to illuminate what is already present and introduce a thread that will carry into the afternoon
Nourishment and Connection
We break for a grounded, seasonal lunch, prepared by our retreat chef Rhamie, with time to reflect, digest, and connect. You may engage in conversation or simply enjoy quiet reflection. Integration is not rushed.
Afternoon Breathwork Immersion
In the afternoon, we turn toward the breath.You’ll be guided through an expansive Breathwork process where the breath becomes a direct pathway into vitality, emotional clarity, and inner coherence.
This is not about chasing intensity or forcing change. It is a structured, intelligent approach that works with energy flow, nervous system literacy, and embodied awareness.
You will be guided into expansion without dissociation, increasing your capacity to feel and to meet deeper layers of your being. We work carefully with breath, body, and awareness so that what opens can be integrated. This is the heart of the day.
Integration and Closing
We close gently.Sweet snacks, grounded sharing, and space to reflect. You leave with lived experience, feeling steady, clear, and deeply connected.
Spaces Are Intentionally Limited
The Power Within is designed to be small enough for depth, yet spacious enough for personal autonomy.
You will be supported, not managed.
Guided, not pushed.
If this speaks to you, book your place.
