Women's Retreats
‘’Suzy’s wonderful wealth of knowledge, her loving presence and ability to articulate her wisdom and lightness make her retreat days a must for anyone seeking nourishment for the soul, a reconnection to joy, a sense of community and an overall grounded sense of being’’ - Thaisa
Retreats for women are a unique combination of all the good things we need in life to bring us back to ourselves for health, happiness, wellbeing and deep authentic connection. We will be exploring yoga practices, meditation, menstrual or moon cycle awareness (MCA) nature connection, self-enquiry, deep resting and coaching techniques to help unravel, reflect, renew, and rejuvenate.
The days are offered in natural surroundings, which are quiet and calming and I hold a loving safe space that inspires trust and authenticity. This enables you to let go and rest into your true self with more honesty and depth.
‘There is something magical that happens when women come together. We know, deep in our bones, how to let go and find ourselves again. We all hold a part of the scared space for the day and that allows each woman to be how she needs to be in a non-judgmental, supportive and healing environment’.
The days also include nourishing food, unlimited tea and snacks and of course really delicious, homemade cake to share.
"The day retreat was a wonderful nourishing day. Suzy created a nurturing space which was supportive and relaxing. It was so lovely to take a day retreat that combined yoga, meditation, and connecting with nature with amazing homemade organic food. I loved every part of it. Thank you Suzy, I look forward to joining you for another one soon." - Claude

“Your task is not to seek for ‘You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves’ – Mary Oliver
You are invited to a day retreat to experience awakening of your whole self.
Awakening your body by releasing and unraveling tension, awakening the mind by finding stillness from all the incessant thinking, awakening the heart though deeply connecting to yourself and breath, and in this way, we awaken to our soul, the expansive source that is always there but often clouded and covered by the demands and fullness of life.
We will be exploring yoga practices, mindful movement, meditations and visualisations, breathing exercises, energy medicine, nature connection and techniques and ways to release and surrender that which holds us small, to be able to open up to our full potential as awakened open hearted, clear minded, happy, content and soul expanded women.
We can find this within ourselves, but when we explore this together, supported by the awakening energy of deep spring, and the earth herself, magic and transformation happens. For when we open up to our inner knowing, through our embodied self, we are more able to find our route back to wholeness.
We will be treated to a delicious organic vegan lunch, lovingly prepared by the wonderful Sharon Smith from Leaf and Ladle and complete the day with fire side tea and cake.

‘You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your
love & affection ‘ - Buddha
You are invited to a day retreat to experience connection to yourself, others and the natural and energetic world around us. Within the fullness of life, it is easy to become disconnected from our clear mind from overthinking, our bodies by living in our heads and pushing ourselves beyond our natural rhythms, and disconnected from our hearts through the inner and outer struggles we experience every day. To rebalance our connection, we must start with reconnecting to ourselves, to our bodies, to our hearts and quiet mind. Once we have settled into this, we are more able to be kind and compassionate to ourselves and then in turn experience authentic connection with others and then the extraordinary gifts of connecting with the physical and energetic world around us.
We will be exploring yoga practices and principles, energy medicine, breathing exercises, nature connection and meditations supporting us to connect with our body, mind and heart. In this way we start to resonate within the positive ‘heart coherence energy field’ happening when we then connect with others. This further boosts our health and wellbeing, compassion and generosity, all leading to a greater sense of
ourselves in a positive way.
We will be treated to a delicious organic vegan lunch, lovingly prepared by the wonderful Sharon Smith from Leaf and Ladle and complete the day with fire side tea and cake.

‘Open your heart, ignite the flame in your being, & awaken the
natural flow of life energy in your heart, when your heart opens the world changes around you ‘ - Mingtong Gu
You are invited to a day retreat to explore opening your heart. Life is full of challenges, inner and outer, it is so easy to close down in our hearts. When we feel emotional stuck, our life force is also blocked, our hearts stop being able to receive and give love. Even if there is nothing especially difficult in our lives there is always more potential to open our hearts. We all have potential to open our hearts more, to be able to receive and experience the amazing gifts of unconditional divine healing love.
Throughout the day we will explore opening our hearts through different yoga practices and principles, breathing exercises, energy medicine, nature connection time, relaxations and meditations, carefully chosen to help release the layers of the body, mind and heart, to be able to more fully inhabit and expand into our ‘heartful, soulful selves’.
We will be treated to a delicious organic vegan lunch, lovingly prepared by the wonderful Sharon Smith from Leaf and Ladle.
The end of the day is celebrated by enjoying an optional swim in the sweet waters of the goddess lake, completing the day with fire side tea and cake.

‘Resting into ourselves, experiencing deep peace and stillness is
probably one of the most important and profound things we can do to
support our wellbeing’ SG
You are invited to a day retreat to explore resting into yourself and finding stillness. Towards the end of summer, we can often feel the need to gather in again after an outward busy time, to relax, rejuvenate and rebalance.
During this restful and restorative day, we will be exploring different yoga and somatic movement practices and principles, breathing exercises, energy medicine, nature connection time, relaxations and meditations, carefully chosen to help support you release tension from your body, free the mind and open the heart, enabling you to find a deep sense of nourishing rest.
There is such a vast expanse of stillness that we can access through gently, intuitively and wisely exploring movement and stillness through the vehicle of our body. We are embodied beings, our mind finds a sanctuary when we tune into the subtleties of our movements, our hearts start to open as we slow down, reconnect and start to remember who we truly are, underneath all of the incessant thinking and doing.
We will be treated to a delicious organic vegan lunch, lovingly prepared by the wonderful Sharon Smith from Leaf and Ladle.
At the end of the day there is optional wild swimming in the beautiful lake, completing the day with fire side tea and cake.

Fully alive, fully aware’ - Thich Nhat Hanh

During this connective, restful and restorative day, we will be exploring different yoga and somatic movement practices and principles, breathing exercises, energy medicine, relaxations and meditations, carefully chosen to help you rediscover your birthright, your beingness. This is such a resourcing
experience one that can stay with you forever being a guiding light and a place you can reconnect to at any time.
In the afternoon there will be nature connection time to allow you to draw upon the wisdom of nature, of how she shows us, so gracefully and simply, just how to be. Enjoy time to simply just be, be yourself, be still, just be…...
