Join me for this warming, Winter women’s retreat. Drawing on the energy of the season to create space for nurture, nourishment, deep rest & renewal.
The colder, darker months invite us to slow down and retreat to comfort and warmth as we withdraw more from the external world. These shorter days carry a magical energy of reflection and turning in as all around us, nature sleeps.
On this special weekend we will be calling on the restful energy of this season to nurture ourselves and tend to our inner fires. Taking time to reflect upon what is wanting to be birthed in the coming months and attune to slower rhythms that support our replenishment & renewal.
Set in a beautiful Cotswolds Stone House with our own private lake, this weekend retreat is an opportunity to feel nurtured & nourished as we take a pause from our busy lives to come back home to ourselves.
Over the space of the weekend we will enjoy daily Yoga Nidra practice (yogic sleep meditation!) therapeutic sound healing, a self care ritual and a sacred cacao rose ceremony to connect us to our inner compass, help us find clarity and stoke the fires of the heart.
Our retreat space will be held by the elements of the beautiful, natural surroundings and we’ll be supported in our daily practices by the soft and nurturing qualities of Rose, Cacao and Nidra.
Everything on the retreat is an invitation and you can take part in as much or as little as you like. The program is spacious so there’s ample time to curl up by a log burner, explore local walks, receive a delicious massage or simply rest. This peaceful space will allow you to unwind from busyness, settle into beingness and leave feeling rested, connected and renewed.

“Having just returned from Louise’s rest retreat I wanted to leave a fresh review.
I have come home rejuvenated, relaxed and replenished! It was utterly beautiful. Both Louise and Danielle hold space in the most magical of ways; creating a sense of safety and a feeling of being ‘held’ and supported unconditionally. All needs are met, dietary requirements catered for and plenty of space in beautiful (and very clean!) house.
If you’re needing a sign to book on, here it is! I couldn’t recommend the retreat enough. I have a wonderful glow around me and feel so blessed to have been present for such a gorgeous couple of days.
Thank you for your authenticity ladies.”
