Loweswater Village Hall

Imagine your day…

You arrive beside the lake, step inside and everything has already been prepared for you.

The lights are soft. The kettle is on. Your mat, bolster and blankets are waiting.

There is nothing you need to bring and nothing you need to be good at.

Across the day, I’ll gently guide you through periods of movement, stillness, healing and deep rest, with plenty of time simply to enjoy being looked after.

We’ll eat together, drink tea, have cake, connect when we want to and retreat into our own quiet space when we need to.

And when it’s time to leave, the intention is that you don’t simply think:

“That was a lovely day.”

But that you take some of that calm home with you.

Places are intentionally limited to create a peaceful, spacious and personal experience.

Advance booking is recommended.

You don’t need to come with anyone

Lots of women arrive at a retreat on their own.

You won’t be walking into a room full of established friendship groups or expected to make conversation all day.

The atmosphere is warm, relaxed and welcoming, with space for connection and space to simply be.

And you don’t need to “be good at yoga”

This isn’t a day of complicated poses or trying to keep up.

The movement is gentle and accessible, and everything can be adapted for your body.

You don’t need to be flexible, experienced or particularly fit.

You simply need to arrive.

More Than a Retreat

Seasonal Sanctuary Days were created to offer something a little deeper than simply escaping everyday life for a few hours.

Of course I want you to leave feeling wonderfully relaxed.

But I also want you to leave with something that lasts.

Each Sanctuary follows the rhythm of the season and combines yoga, breathwork, deep relaxation, Angelic Reiki, crystals, sound, meditation and seasonal practices.

You’ll also take home your own Sanctuary Collection and simple ways of continuing what we’ve begun together.

A beautiful day away – with something meaningful to carry home.

Meet Your Guide

For more than twenty five years I’ve been supporting people to reconnect with themselves through movement, healing and therapeutic wellbeing practices.

Seasonal Sanctuary Days bring together everything I’ve learned throughout that journey, combining gentle yoga, clinical hypnotherapy principles, Angelic Reiki, crystal healing, chakra balancing and deep relaxation into one carefully curated experience.

It is my hope that you’ll leave feeling lighter, calmer and more connected, with practical tools and meaningful experiences that continue supporting your wellbeing long after the day has ended.

It would be my privilege to welcome you.
