Rest & Release 2026 - Womens Half Day Retreat

REST & RELEASE 2026 A Women's Half-Day Retreat A little break for your system before the holidays. When was the last time you rested without guilt, had an afternoon just for you, let your hair down in a safe container or just espressed what you've been silently carrying? No responsibilities or performance. Just a few precious hours to slow down, nourish and replenish yourself. I'm a Holistic Natural Therapist and I believe we have an epidemic of a faint type of exhaustion that comes from tech, sensory overload, holding everything together, caring for others and juggling a thousand things that a good night's sleep doesn't fix. I've put my expertise into a Retreat bespoke for women who are tired from carrying it all and who could benefit from deep rest, powerful release and a day where everything is done for you. Women are built to gather, we discharge stress through community and all need a safe place to release what we have been silently carrying. Come and be held in a safe space, clear your mind, put down the emotional load, turn down the noise and reconnect with the parts of yourself that get lost in the busyness of the final months of the year. REST & RELEASE is a nurturing half-day retreat designed to help you learn about and explore the seven types of rest, receive genuine nourishment, reset your system and let go of lingering stress and tension. Through guided practices, we'll create space to let go of what your body has been silently carrying and make room for what you need more of. There'll be beautiful nourishing tea and refreshments, time for connection, and permission to simply be, without needing to achieve anything, all in a cozy, aesthetic healing studio near Manly Beach. You'll have the opportunity to tap in through held practices, quiet the mental chatter, release what's not serving you and experience a deeper kind of rest than simply collapsing on the couch at the end of a long week. This Half Day Retreat is for you if you've been feeling mentally overloaded, emotionally stretched, overstimulated or disconnected from yourself. If you've been giving so much to work, family and everyone around you that your own needs have slipped to the bottom of the list, or if you are just exhausted. You don't need to arrive feeling calm. You don't need to be good at meditation, journaling or art. You don't need to have it all figured out, just show up. Everything will be done for you. Your afternoon includes • Guided reflective journaling process • Releasing the Things Left Unsaid: a private emotional catharsis exercise • Gentle expression and embodied practices • Intuitive art-therapy • Opportunity for release and sharing in a held container • Guided Breathwork for a deep Nervous System Recalibration • Meditation and Yoga Nidra • Grounded educational content around rest and biohacking to support you through the holidays • Nourishing refreshments • Relaxed connection • An Aromatherapy oil to take home REST & RELEASE A small, intimate retreat for women.
