Allow yourself time to slow down, rest, restore, transform and renew.

The Restore and Renew retreat is a nourishing opportunity for you to slow down and restore and renew your body, mind and soul.

It weaves together Forest bathing experiences, yoga, embodiment practices, circle work, deep listening and journalling. These practices support you to remember what it feels like to listen to your body and to trust it’s innate wisdom and support you to renew at your own unique rhythm.

This retreat is for anyone who is feeling tired and overwhelmed with life and would like to take some time away for self-care and a profound immersion in a stunning location.
