A joy fuelled summer send off
Reignite your spirit under the stars
As summer wanes, the world begins to exhale. It's a time when the hustle slows, and the heart longs for stillness. If you've been everything for everyone else, this is your invitation to be everything for yourself.
With the end of the summer as our backdrop, join us in a serene meadow, where the whispers of nature and the glow of the First Quarter Moon guide you back to your inner light.
This retreat isn't just a pause; it's a profound reconnection to the woman you are beneath the roles and responsibilities.
Gather in the golden hours of the summer to alchemise fresh intentions and joyful creativity
Join us for a soul-nourishing overnight retreat held under late summer skies.
This is a time to lean into the turning of the season, to reflect, release, and radiate what's next, all while lighting up your disco ball heart with beauty, breath and boundless joy.
Whether you’re craving rest, inspiration, connection, or a sprinkle of stardust magic… you’re invited.
The vibe
Think: barefoot in the grass, a long shared dinner table under string lights, wildflowers in your hair, heartfelt conversations and a sky full of stars blazing trails in the night’s sky.
This is your time to reconnect with nature, your creativity, your body and the pulse of what wants to begin in your life.
A cocoon of love and joy
Imagine a space where:
- Your breath becomes your anchor, grounding you in the present moment.
- Creative expression flows freely, as you move your body and connect with nature's beauty.
- Movement and stillness dance together, awakening your body and soothing your soul.
- Evenings are filled with cosmic wonder, as you sip cacao under the stars, enveloped in the soothing crystal vibrations of sound and storytelling.
This is more than a retreat; it's a homecoming.
A sanctuary in a peaceful valley in the heart of the countryside
This is a little slice of heaven created for you...
As you feel the weight of constant giving lifting - this is a space for your replenishment.
A place to rediscover your essence beyond daily roles and masks you have to wear.
A sacred space to breathe, create and simply be.
An invitation to embrace joy, wonder and your disco ball magic within.
Wonder Weaving
We will be working with the energy of the First Quarter Moon to spark momentum and vision.
As we use the beauty of nature as a sacred mirror and muse, we will move, breath and connect with awe, wonder & cosmic connection.
Your creative expression is the pathway to presence in which we explore the magic of endings that are also beginnings.
And of course... no time and space is more committed to helping you light up that beautiful disco ball heart of yours that with
Joy, laughter, beauty and even more freaking JOY!
