Overview

As summer gently fades into autumn, join this nourishing half-day retreat designed to support rest, reflection and reconnection with the changing season.

This Autumn Equinox gathering offers space to pause, step back from the busyness of everyday life, reconnect with yourself, and connect with other women through a shared seasonal experience. It is a time to honour what has grown, acknowledge your personal journey, and gently release what you no longer need to carry forward.

Through a deeply restorative sound bath, journalling, a creative nature mandala practice and a seasonal release ritual, you’ll be invited into a calm, grounding experience of reflection and renewal.

Spaces are limited to keep the experience calm and intimate. Advance booking is required.
