Feel Nurtured ~ Uplifted ~ Inspired
Spring Day Retreat
in the heart of Dorset, UK
8 March 2025, 10:00 - 17:00
Celebrate the start of Spring and give your body and mind a gift of relaxation, vitality, nourishment and inspiration at this inclusive Day Retreat, set in a beautiful venue of Launceston Farm in Dorset, a truly relaxing and rejuvenating space surrounded by rolling hills and tranquil nature all around.
The Day to Nourish Body and Soul
A whole day dedicated to self-care, to truly recharge the batteries, restore equilibrium and harmonise our whole system with movement, rest, Sound, relaxation and 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 Launceston Farm in Dorset for the Day (DT11 8BY), where will have the full use of the light & airy Yoga space and dining room plus access to the outdoor terrace with seating, firepit, courtyard with a beautiful shepherd's hut, and an opportunity to explore the rolling hills and woodland of the Cranborne Chase AONB
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, Sound and Gong Bath, Vagus Nerve Breathwork, outdoor Qi Gong, FaceYoga Ritual and Massage and will have plenty of time to recharge, daydream, relax and connect.
​​
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
Food is a very big part of the retreat, and a delicious plant-based buffet-style lunch will be served to nourish our bodies and souls with vibrant healthy plentiful 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!). The menu has been carefully chosen to stimulate your taste buds and to positively influence the gut microbiome. 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.
Letting go of stress, tiredness, daily worries and unwanted energy, and letting in renewal, replenishment, rest, gratitude and radiance!

"Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful retreat space for us. It is the first time I have taken a whole day to myself in that way, but it certainly won’t be the last! Food was exceptional, and I genuinely feel inspired to create some lovely plant-based meals. Blown away by how much love and thought was put into it. Thank you again for such a memorable day."
Debbie C.
"Having never been on a retreat before, I was a little sceptical but I can honestly say I got so much more from it than I expected and I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities. The food was excellent and I really appreciated the care and time you had taken to produce such a variety of tasty and healthy food.
The programme was just right and I liked the balance between indoor and outdoor activities."
Penny R.
"I can’t tell you how fortunate I feel to have had the opportunity to come to the Retreat Day. It was such a privilege to come to a day that was so well organised, great fun and very happy. You really did think of everything to make it a very memorable day. Thank you."
Sue H.
"Thank you for bringing the Day Retreat to Switzerland - the retreat far exceeded my expectations! The programme was fuller than I imagined and everything flowed very naturally through the day. My absolute favourite was the Sound Bath, I have never been in such a relaxed, almost trance like state. The food was 5-star! The colours, the taste, the presentation was exquisite, one could taste the love that had gone into the food! "
