Get ready to ease into winter with a day full of self-care, relaxation, and positive connection.

She Rests – Winter Day Retreat

She Rests is a winter day retreat for women who are tired of pushing and ready to rest. It’s an invitation to slow right down, honour the quieter season and give your body and mind permission to soften, pause and restore.

Created and held by Maddie and Jo from The Nourished Mind, the day brings together therapeutic insight, gentle coaching and deeply nourishing connection. You’ll be welcomed into a warm, calm space where there is nothing to prove and nowhere else you need to be.

Throughout the day, you’ll be gently supported to:

Rest and reflect on what this season is asking of you

Release pressure, expectations and the need to keep going

Reconnect with your body’s need for rest, warmth and care

Feel soothed, replenished and more at ease as you move forward

This day isn’t about productivity or self-improvement. It’s about rest as a practice, softness as strength, and allowing yourself to simply be.

What the day includes

A therapeutic workshop with author and therapist Maddie (Wholehearted Therapy), focused on deep rest, reflection and emotional nourishment

A guided meditation to help you settle, soften and turn inward

A warming, nourishing plant-based lunch to support body and mind

A short, optional local walk for fresh winter air and gentle movement

A guided rest session, designed to help your nervous system unwind and your body deeply relax (think supported rest, warmth and gentle cues)

A group coaching session with wellness coach Jo (The Energised Woman) to help you honour your needs, set kind intentions and move forward with less pressure

You’ll leave feeling rested, held and gently restored - with a calmer nervous system, clearer boundaries and a renewed sense of self-trust.

Step out of the noise and into rest.

Wrap yourself in warmth, stillness and care.

Come as you are. Rest is enough.
