Awaken Within
Spring Equinox Womens' Retreat
Spring carries a particular kind of energy.
After the stillness of winter, something begins to stir. The natural world starts reaching outward again — flowers bloom, new growth appears, light returns and the senses seem to awaken alongside it.
Inspired by my recent travels through Sri Lanka and the sensual, vibrant energy of spring, Awaken Within is an invitation to explore what happens when we slow down enough to truly experience the world around us.
This is a retreat where creativity and mindfulness meet.
Where yoga becomes a way of listening.
Where nature becomes a teacher.
Where creativity becomes a form of presence.
And where your senses become a pathway back to yourself.
Come and awaken your senses. Come and play.
Come and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been waiting for your attention.
This isn’t about becoming more productive.
It isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about becoming curious.
Curious about what you notice when you slow down.
Curious about what your body wants to express.
Curious about what emerges when you give yourself permission to play, create and experience the present moment fully.
What's inside the experience?​​​
Tea Ceremony & Oil Anointment
Sink into stillness in our opening rose tea ceremony and jasmine oil anointment. Both the tea and oil were sourced from my recent travels to Sri Lanka - a sacred island that truly ignites the senses which is what we will embark upon during this practice.
Yin Yoga aligned to the season of Spring
A slow, grounding yin practice inspired by the energy and themes of spring — creating space for opening, renewal and gentle movement forward by working with the liver and gallbladder meridian pathways.
Feminine Embodiment Practices
Embodied practices designed to help you release tension, reconnect with your body and explore a more intuitive relationship with yourself.
Sensory Mindfulness & Creative Play
Explore mindfulness through your senses, nature and inner creativity. No artistic ability required. These practices aren’t about creating something “good”. They’re about becoming present through the process of making, exploring and playing.​

Sound Bath & Yoga Nidra
Sink into deep rest with a yoga nidra (guided meditation) to allow your mind to quieten and let go. Then receive a beautifully rejuvinating sound bath featuring five crystal quartz singing bowls & meditation wind chimes.​

Nourishing Lunch & Nibbles
Enjoy a beautifully nourishing lunch and an assortment of nibbles throughout the reteat to keep you feeling sustained.​
Awaken Within is a different kind of spring cleaning.
Perhaps there are things you’ve been carrying that you’re ready to soften around.
Perhaps you’ve been living from your head and longing to feel more connected to your body.
Perhaps you’ve forgotten what it feels like to create simply because you enjoy it.
Or perhaps you don’t need a reason at all.
Perhaps you simply want an afternoon to slow down and experience yourself — fully.
Awaken Within is your invitation to do just that.
