Blank Canvas X Essie Studio: Women's Autumn Retreat

Join us for an autumn retreat filled with crafting, guided relaxation/hypnosis, tea, snacks and goodie bags! All women welcome Unplug, unwind, and step into an afternoon dedicated entirely to your wellbeing. 🍂✨ Join Blank Canvas Wellbeing and Essie Studio at We Are Wellness in Headingley for a warm, restorative Women’s Autumn Retreat. This 3.5-hour experience brings together creative crafting, connection, and deep rest to help you clear mental clutter, release accumulated tension, and step out feeling lighter, grounded, and confident. What to Expect 🎨 Creative Crafting & Connection We’ll start the afternoon with an immersive, hands-on crafting session led by Essie Studio. Connect with a welcoming community of women, chat, and make something beautiful to take home with you. 🧠 Nervous System Reset & Practical Psychoeducation Learn the accessible science behind stress and how your nervous system works. We'll explore practical tools—including the "stress bucket" concept—to help you recognize overwhelm, manage daily anxiety, and regulate your nervous system in everyday life. 🧘‍♀️ Somatic Grounding & Mindfulness Shift out of fight-or-flight mode using gentle somatic exercises, breathwork, and grounding techniques designed to calm your mind and settle physical tension. 🌙 Guided Relaxation & Hypnosis Nestle into a cozy setup with yoga mats, bolsters, and blankets for a solution-focused guided hypnosis session. Through restorative, positive suggestion, you’ll quiet the noise of a busy mind, cultivate inner calm, and tap into a sense of confidence and mental clarity. ☕ Teas, Treats & Goodie Bags Enjoy a delicious selection of cozy hot teas and seasonal snacks throughout the afternoon, and leave with a special goodie bag filled with treats.
