In August, we came together with three wonderful local businesses and wellbeing practitioners, Siblings Hairdressing, Natasha Hillier Counselling and Shh Yoga, to host a gentle Women’s Wellness Retreat, creating a day of calm, connection and time to reset. Set beneath the shade of a beautiful willow tree, alongside a gently flowing stream and surrounded by the sounds of nature, the setting provided the perfect backdrop for a day of slowing down and reconnecting. With a gentle breeze moving through the trees, the natural rhythm and sounds around us became part of the experience. The day offered a blend of Hatha yoga, grounding, journaling and reflection, mindful crafting, guided hand reflexology and a nourishing lunch, alongside refreshments and cake. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed and welcoming, with each of us bringing our own experience and approach to create a truly special day. Just as importantly, the women who joined us brought their own energy, openness and sense of connection, making the day feel genuinely collaborative and uplifting. It was lovely to see everyone taking time away from the demands of everyday life to slow down, recharge and simply enjoy being present. The event was a wonderful success, with some beautiful feedback from those who joined us, and we hope to create more opportunities like this for local women in the future.
