1.15pm | Movement Playground with Neil Frankel
Neil has a lifetime of experience as a coach, is a MovNat L2 certified Trainer, Tennis coach and accidental Ultra-Marathon runner. Neil explores flow, balance, movement patterns and rhythm that seeks to redefine the relationship we have with ourselves and the environment that surrounds us with a deep curiosity of what's possible and a playful approach to challenge preconceived expectations.
2.30pm | Breathwork Masterclass Part I & II with Matt Bagwell
Matt is a Master Oxygen Advantage® Breathwork Instructor and Leadership Coach . His breath training sessions will help optimise your respiratory system and access a world of clear thinking, untapped energy, and a sense of calm. It's powerful stuff. Bring a journal and your favourite pen. Clarity is always available - we just need to find a way to access it.https://mattcoaching.com/
3.45pm | Doodling/Sketchbook Workshop with Craft Festival
Neil will steer you through a series prompts for doodling/sketching that will challenge the way you view pencil & paper and breakdown the inner voice that might tell you that 'you're not very good at drawing'. If you happen to be 'very good at drawing' expect a few surprises to level the playing field.
We'll provide all the materials you need but if you do have a favourite pencil and sketchbook, please bring them along.
We move, we breathe, we create. You might just surprise yourself what's possible.
4.45pm | Yoga with Pretzel Studio
Anna is an experienced yoga and paddleboard instructor who has been teaching yoga for over 18yrs and runs her own studio in the heart of Bovey Tracey. Anna loves to combine yoga and well-being within the natural surroundings where she lives including beach yoga, paddleboard yoga, glamping retreats, moorland retreats, sunrise & sunset paddleboarding excursions and festival yoga.
Anna will guide us through a 60min yoga flow moving at your own pace and giving you time to pause, feel and respond. Focusing on mindful movement and feeling good rather than an end goal or aesthetic posture.
6.00pm | Close
It's worth mentioning that you should bring snacks and any specialist food items you might need.

Sunday 3rd December 2023 - Sharrah Pool. Dartmoor National Park.
As part of our 'Move' days we like to get out in to nature. We can connect with ourselves and our environment. Conversations emerge - inspiration shared. We know it will be cold - it's December. But if we wrap up well and bring enough drinks and fuel for the day, we reckon on this being an invigorating day out in nature.
8.45am | Registration & Meet at Newbridges.
Meet the team and settle in. Exact meeting point will be sent upon registration.
9am | Meditation Led by Pretzel Studio and walk to Sharrah Pool.
Anna White will lead us on a short meditation as we take a beautiful walk to our base at Sharrah Pool through a riverside path that meanders through beautiful woodland. We walk to connect, to flow, to listen, to share. If we stop, we're still together. No-one left behind.
10.15am | Morning Form & breathwork with Matt Bagwell & Neil Frankel
Join Matt & Neil from the movement project on an exploration of Morning Form and Breath-Work. Through the lens of standing movement meditations based on Zero Forms (Fighting Monkey) & the daily practise of the Ferus Animi // Terra Nova collective to ground you and prepare your mind/body for the day ahead. Our intention is to channel Sunday morning energy into life-affirming moments. Expect some 'a-ha' moments of insight as we intertwine physical and breathwork practices together
11.30am | Unlock your connection to nature: A workshop exploring nature journalling, techniques and inspiration with Kirsten Proctor
Kirsten is an everyday explorer who loves to escape the daily grind by spending time outside deepening her connection with nature. Kirsten has a Post Graduate Diploma in Landscape Architecture and has undertaken a range of roles in nature conservation organisations encouraging people to enjoy and appreciate the countryside. She collects inspiration and practices that foster a stronger connection with nature and bring calm in this increasingly busy world.
As part of MoveDEVON, we’ll be exploring the more-than-human-world and increasing our sense of wonder through a nature journalling workshop. Kirsten will guide us through a series of activities, gently encouraging us to take cues from nature to awaken the senses, reflect and engage with our surroundings to find calm.
1.00pm | Optional Cold Water Dip with Anna & Matt
Anna is a paddle board instructor and knows a thing or two about cold water. Matt is a qualified Open Water Swim Coach. Please note this is an optional extra for you to join in if you wish. If you're dipping in the water, ensure you bring suitable clothing to warm up afterwards.
1.30pm | Reflections & Close with Matt & Neil
What can we take from our experience together in to our 'every day?' How can we create pockets of joy when we go back headlong into our 'normal'.
1.45pm | Walk back to Newbridges
