This past retreat was one of my favourites so far - my co-hosts were all attuned to the group and the guests were delightful. Here are some of the recaps of what we did. We spent the entire day in the beautiful space that Angie Wiseman designed - Otherwise Creative Then the bright shining star who is Emily Cordes lead us in a rejuvenating yoga practise. Emily leads retreats across the globe, check out what she is up to at Lakeshore Flow Next we worked through some self-compassion exercises as a group and took some time for loving-kindness meditation. After that we had an amazing and nutritious lunch by Foodie by Katia!
Lastly, we were lead through a bath-tea making workshop with Kirstie Leedham from Hello Maker. The whole day was filled with warmth and connection, the best way to finish off the winter months!

Are you finding yourself in a slump? It makes sense - its February!
We've collected a list of ideas for you to try to make it through, and guess what Spring is not too far away! Here are some ideas for you to get through it well :) Embrace Natural Light Ensure you get exposure to natural sunlight during the day. Open curtains, go for a walk outside, or sit by a window to maximize your daylight exposure. Stay Active Engage in regular physical activity, whether it's indoor exercises, winter sports, or simply taking a brisk walk. Exercise releases endorphins, which can improve mood. Create a Cozy Space Make your living space warm and inviting. Add blankets, pillows, and soft lighting to create a comfortable and cozy environment. Connect with Others Socialize with friends and family, even if it's through virtual means. Maintain social connections to combat feelings of isolation. Practice Mindfulness and Relaxation Incorporate mindfulness practices, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Stay Hydrated and Eat Well Maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated. Proper nutrition can have a positive impact on your mood and energy levels. Book a Day Retreat Check out the upcoming retreats in the London area we are offering here. Invest in Self-Care Prioritize self-care activities such as hot baths, skincare routines, or pampering yourself. Taking care of your physical well-being can positively impact your mental health. Also you can book a counselling session with Olivia or Juliana to talk through difficult feelings you might be having. Look at our schedules here. Remember that everyone is different, so it's essential to find what works best for you! |
