A practical day retreat to help you slow your thinking, understand your nervous system, and feel more in control in everyday life

 

What this day is about

This is not about escaping stress for a few hours.

It’s about learning how to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control even when life doesn’t slow down.

You’ll understand what’s happening in your body when you feel overwhelmed, and more importantly, what to do about it in the moment.

​

What you’ll experience

• A clear, simple understanding of how your nervous system works

• Practical tools to slow your thinking in real time

• Guided exercises to manage mental overload and reduce reactivity

• Coaching to help you respond more calmly under pressure

• A structured space to pause, reset, and build awareness

​

What’s included

• Nourishing vegetarian lunch and refreshments

• A practical workbook to take home

• A post retreat one on one check in to support your progress

​

Why come

Because pushing through isn’t working anymore. You don’t need another break, you need tools that actually help you switch off and think clearly in your day to day life.

​

Who this is for

People who are constantly “on”, overthinking, or feeling mentally overloaded - even when everything looks fine on the outside.

📅 Saturday, 23 May

📅 Saturday, 10 October

A quieter, slower-paced day retreat focused on recovery, nervous system regulation, and restoring your energy in a way that actually lasts

​

What this day is about

This is not a typical retreat filled with activities or constant talking.

It is a structured quiet day designed to help your system slow down properly.

If you feel tired even after resting, it is often because your body has not fully come out of stress mode. This day gives you the space and guidance to reset that, without pressure or expectation.

​

What you’ll experience

• Stepping out of constant stimulation and slowing everything down

• Time for quiet reflection, reading, or simply being

• Gentle, guided practices to support recovery

• Understanding how to restore energy without pushing through

• A calm, structured environment where you do not need to perform or keep up

​

What’s included

• Nourishing vegetarian lunch and refreshments

• A practical workbook to take home

• A post retreat one on one check in to support your progress

​

Why come

Because resting alone has not been enough.

You might be taking breaks, sleeping more, or slowing down at times, but still feeling tired, wired, or drained.

This is a different kind of reset. One that helps your system actually recover, not just pause.

​

Who this is for

People who feel constantly tired, mentally drained, or close to burnout, even when they are trying to rest.

A practical day retreat to experience traditional Ayurvedic food, cooking, and daily rituals that support balance in body and mind

​

What this day is about

Ayurveda is a traditional system from India that looks at how food, daily rhythm, and simple practices affect how you feel, both physically and mentally.

This is not about strict diets or complicated rules.

It is about understanding what supports your energy, digestion, and overall balance, and learning simple ways to bring that into your everyday life.

​

What you’ll experience

• Cooking and preparing simple, traditional Ayurvedic meals

• Understanding how food affects your energy, clarity, and mood

• Learning practical Ayurvedic rituals for body and mind

• Exploring how daily rhythm supports balance and wellbeing

• A grounded approach you can adapt to your own lifestyle

​

What’s included

• Nourishing vegetarian Ayurvedic lunch and refreshments

• A practical workbook to take home

• A post retreat one on one check in to support your progress

​

Why come

Because what you eat and how you live directly affects how you feel.

And most people are either overcomplicating it or not paying attention to it at all.

This day gives you a simple, practical way to understand your body and support it properly.

​

Who this is for

People who want a more grounded and consistent way to support their energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing without extremes or quick fixes.

Because Ayurveda becomes much more useful when you know how to bring it into everyday life.

Spend the day cooking, creating, learning and slowing down, then leave with new recipes, handmade preparations and simple practices you can continue using at home.

​

Who this is for

Anyone curious about practical, natural ways to support everyday wellbeing.

No previous knowledge of Ayurveda is needed.

​

Joined us before? This is a new experience, with different recipes, new creations, different ingredients and new practices to explore.
