A day to disconnect from daily life and enjoy.....
Nourish Women's Day Retreat
A day dedicated to simply enjoying. During busy days, we almost never take enough time for ourselves... time to recharge, to learn, to connect with ourselves or to relax.
This day is for you if you:
-
Are craving some downtime, a break
-
Would like to learn about natural health and wellness
-
Would like to be cooked for and have absolutely no jobs to do all day
-
Enjoy connecting with like minded women who are going through similar life experiences - people who get it
-
Know you need to make some changes but don't know where to start or have the energy to begin
-
Love Yoga or would like to try Yoga
-
Would like more practice with breathing and meditation
-
Have a busy mind and need more calm
Or perhaps you are just curious as to what a day retreat would look like..
This day is nothing too fancy or woo woo.. it is just a collaboration of practices designed to fuel inspiration, calm the mind and nourish the body.
Sal Flewelling will be joining us to share some of her incredible wisdom with a Chinese Medicine workshop.
All food is homemade, simple, delicious and nutritious. Vegan and gluten free. No previous experience necessary, no pre-requisites and no pressure to do anything. If there are parts of the day that you don't want to do you are welcome to skip them or modify as you need.
From your teachers and hosts you can expect nothing but a warm, welcoming and supportive environment. All welcome.
