Rest. Replenish. Recharge.
Nourish & Glow Day Retreat
in the heart of Somerset, UK
31 August 2024, 10:00 - 18:00
Celebrate the end of the Summer and give your body and mind a gift of relaxation, nourishment, joy and inspiration at this inclusive Day Retreat, set in a beautiful venue of Wick Farm, in the heart of Somerset levels, a magical place for heart opening and soul nurturing.
The Day to Nourish Body and Soul
A whole day dedicated to self-care, to truly recharge, restore and rebalance our whole system with movement, Sound, nourishment through beautiful food and time spent in Nature. This retreat is for women only, and the day is designed in such a way so that you can feel held, seen, heard, loved and nurtured.
Beautiful Setting
The Retreat will be held at the beautiful Wick Farm Nr Langport, and for this special Day we have the full use of the indoor Shala space, plus access to the outdoor gardens, forest, pond, labyrinth and the secret outdoor location to explore on the estate!
Activities
The day retreat provides a rare opportunity to escape the busy-ness of the everyday and dedicate time and space to your inner wellbeing and wellness.
We will nourish our bodies and souls with
a beautiful movement session, Face Yoga, Sound and Gond Bath, gentle yoga for Forest Bathing, including a creative outdoor nature workshop.
​
The combination of these activities are unique to this retreat, and please don't worry if you've never tried any of these practices before. I will provide guidance and a safe space for you to explore each of these sessions, and I hope to be able to offer a truly special experience and guide you to the inner space of harmony and balance.
Nourishment
A delicious plant-based buffet-style lunch will be served to nourish our bodies and souls with vibrant healthy food. Food is the foundation of our health, so in choosing plant-based dishes we can directly influence our mood, hormones, energy and emotions and bring more joy to our hearts (and our taste buds!). In the afternoon, refreshing tea/coffee will be served alongside a delicious healthy treat to delight us into joy and vitality.
Who is the Retreat for?
Modern living can take its toll on our bodies and spirit and the pace of life can feel relentless, which can makes us feel as if we are "on the go" all the time, with no real space for just being. Taking time out of your daily grind and focusing on your inner landscape with meaning and attention, has a magic ability to rebalance your energy and recharge your batteries.
This is exactly what this Day Retreat is for.
Let the Renewal, Replenishment, Recharge, Rest and Inner Radiance shine through!
