When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance

Lao Tzu

It’s widely understood that balance = wellness; but maintaining a sense of equilibrium in body, mind and spirit is a multifaceted affair, and one the fast pace of our modern lives makes a real challenge. Throw in the hormonal shifts that many of us women experience as we navigate midlife and beyond, it’s no wonder that a state of balance can feel elusive.

Recognising this, I’ve teamed up with Anna “Anjo” Thompson to create a special one-off whole day retreat aimed at at steering us back to a place where we feel better regulated, more grounded and with greater capacity to deal with life’s complexities. Crucially, the retreat is also about providing a toolkit to take into day to day life to help maintain a sense of balance beyond our time together.

During the retreat day you’ll experience:

• A warm welcome

• A morning movement practice with the wonderful Anna K

• An essential oils workshop, learning about how oils can help support us through midlife

• An aroma led mindful walking tour of the garden, taking in the signs of early spring

• An optional outdoor dip in the garden’s natural swimming pond

• A breathwork workshop, experiencing how we can access the power of our own breath to bring balance to a range of common midlife experiences

• A luxurious guided relaxation to end the day

• Home-brewed herbal teas to support your retreat journey

• A fabulous lunch of high vibrational foods to fill you with energy and vitality for the day and beyond; a nourishing stew, nutrient packed salads, home made breads….plus sweet treats and fruit during the day

And you’ll leave with a special seasonal gift from us.
