About this event
𖤓 Spring marks a quiet yet powerful turning point. Beneath the surface, life begins to sprout again, the light returns, and new possibilities start to emerge 𖤓
On a day in early spring, we invite you to gather with us for a one day women’s retreat to welcome the season of renewal, growth, and intention. Together, we’ll awaken our bodies and hearts after winter, reconnect with our inner vitality, and consciously plant seeds for the year ahead.
Through breath, movement, ritual, and sisterhood, we create space to listen inwardly: What longs to grow? What is ready to be nourished into form?
As part of this day, we’ll work with blue lotus, a sacred flower long associated with rebirth, sensual awakening, and the return of light. Emerging pristine from the mud to open with the sun, blue lotus mirrors the essence of spring, a reminder that clarity, beauty, and expansion can arise after darkness and rest.
What to expect:
꩜ A gentle arrival with cacao, blue lotus tea, meditation & sharing
꩜ Breathwork session to awaken and energise
꩜ A nourishing organic lunch
꩜ Seed-planting ritual to set intentions for the coming year
꩜ Sensual dance to open into the season
꩜ Live music, tea and snacks
This day is for women who feel the call to emerge from winter slowly to intentionally celebrate and welcome the season of spring together.
𓆃 Seasonal Sanctuary 2027
This day retreat is part of a cycle of four gatherings, each one honouring the turning of the seasons. You are welcome to join us for a single day that calls to you, or to commit to the full journey and ritualise your passage through the seasons across the year.
Moving through spring, summer, autumn and winter together allows space for continuity, deepening, and relationship with yourself, with the group, and with the natural rhythms that hold us. Each gathering stands on its own, while also connecting into a larger story of cyclical living.
Dates:
Spring 28th of March
Summer 20th June
Autumn 26th of September
Winter 4th of December
