🦋 Returning Home To Yourself 🦋
An Autumn Day Retreat for Rest, Reflection and Reconnection
As autumn unfolds around us, nature begins to slow down.
The leaves fall from the trees.
The days become shorter.
The earth gently prepares for a season of rest.
Yet for many women, life continues at full speed.
There are always things to do, people to care for and demands on our time and energy.
This retreat is an invitation to step away from all of that for a day.
A chance to pause.
To breathe.
To rest.
To reconnect with yourself.
To remember what it feels like to simply be.

🍁 You are feeling tired, overwhelmed or stretched too thin
🍁 You spend much of your time caring for others and would love some time just for you
🍁 You are craving peace, stillness and space to breathe
🍁 You would like to feel more grounded and connected to yourself
🍁 You enjoy yoga, meditation, healing and personal growth
🍁 You would love a day of nurturing, relaxation and soulful connection

❄️Cocooned: A Winter Healing Retreat🦋
A day to rest, restore, and reconnect with yourself
Step away from the noise and busyness of everyday life, and allow yourself to be gently held in the warmth and stillness of winter.
This nurturing day retreat has been created as a sanctuary for women who are ready to slow down, soften, and replenish after the demands of the festive season.
January can often feel heavy.
There can be pressure to rush forward, do more, fix more, become more.
But winter asks something different of us:
To pause,
To rest,
To listen inward,
To honour what we need before moving forward again.
This day is your permission to do exactly that.
The Energy of Winter
Winter is the season of restoration.
A time for deep rest, reflection, and renewal.
Like nature, we are not meant to bloom all year round.
Cocooned has been designed to support your nervous system, calm your mind, and reconnect you with your body and inner self in a deeply nurturing and supportive space.
If the weather allows, we may also spend gentle time outdoors, connecting with nature and embracing the peaceful energy of winter.
This retreat is for you if…
🍁 You feel emotionally or physically drained
🍁 You are craving rest and time for yourself
🍁 You have spent weeks caring for everyone else and need space to be cared for too
🍁 You feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted
🍁 You want to begin the year feeling grounded rather than pressured
🍁 You long for meaningful connection with like minded women.
🍁 You are drawn to healing, relaxation, and soulful self care
No experience is needed
You are welcome exactly as you are
What your day will include
🦋 Gentle grounding yoga to softly awaken and nourish the body

🦋 Crystal healing and chakra balancing to support emotional and energetic alignment
🦋 Angelic Reiki and guided healing to help you release, reset, and reconnect
Throughout the day you will also be supported with carefully chosen crystals and essential oils to bring comfort, grounding, and calm both during the retreat and beyond

“Peaceful, calm & insightful.
I enjoyed the most: “Connecting with myself and learning about crystals & oils, sound bath, the hypnotherapy session also really connected me with my subconscious & unlocked a lot of gratitude & emotion.
Thank you- we will be back! ❤️”
“Warm, welcome & relaxing and calm.
Thank you so much for the best Sunday!”
“I recently attended a Mini Retreat with Carole-Anne. It was such a beautiful experience. The venue was dreamy, we were welcomed with warming herbal teas and a lovely relaxing atmosphere. The yoga sessions and sound bath meditation cleared my mind, relaxed my body and I felt so uplifted.
Carole-Anne & team make you feel so cared for. We were given home-made healthy buns, and the most beautiful high-quality goodie bag to send us home with a smile. I would recommend this experience to anyone. I can’t wait to return.
Thank you for such a special day! x”
