NEXT RETREAT: 11 MAY 2025 - MOTHER'S DAY
A MOTHER IS A WOMAN FIRST
On Mother's Day, take time to honour yourself — as a woman before, and beyond, becoming a mother.
You may have children at home, be navigating the ‘empty nest’, welcoming ‘bonus’ children through a new relationship, or embracing life as a grandmother. You may be moving through menopause, adjusting to new needs and rhythms of being. You may feel your caring heart reaching beyond the family, seeking other ways to contribute to the world.
This special day offers space for you to be held in love — to fill up your own cup — and to share with other women.
Mothers and grandmothers are essential caretakers of life and the heart in a world that can feel hard and disconnected.
It is challenging to feel safe and strong, holding an open, loving heart.
Every woman needs a community of women that understands, nourishes her roots and encourages her to flourish.
Sunday Morning / 10:00-12:30
EMBODIED FEMININE WISDOM
We begin with a gentle, joyful embodiment practice to reconnect with your breath, body, and heart. Through intuitive, sensual and playful movement, we’ll awaken vitality, soften emotional tension, and create space within for deeper presence and acceptance. This is time to nourish yourself from the inside out — grounding into your womanhood and celebrating your journey.
PICNIC LUNCH - WALK & SWIM
Enjoy a relaxing lunch break together by the lake, a walk and perhaps even a dip for the daring ones!
Sunday afternoon / 14:30-17:00
CREATIVE REFLECTION
In the afternoon, we listen through meditation, rest and breath-led practices. Interspersed with flow writing, intuitive art and crafts, you’ll explore the words, shapes and colours of your inner world — using your hands to give expression to the wisdom, tenderness, and power within. A warm-hearted and nurturing space to honour all that you are, and all that you are becoming, in the company of kindred women.
It takes courage and community
to keep a soft heart in this world.
This is for you...
✨ If you feel the pull to slow down and listen to your heart.
✨ If you seek balance between movement and stillness, strength and softness.
✨ If you long for a space to reconnect with yourself and others in an authentic way.
✨ If you need rest and a caring space.
✨ If you wish to cultivate openness, trust, and inner resilience.
This retreat welcomes all levels of experience—come as you are.

“I felt really restored and reconnected with my confidence and joy. I still benefit from this good feeling 2 months later. Personally, I deeply appreciated the presence of other women with a long experience of life who generously shared their story, full of joy as well as difficulties and sadness. This process gives us all some wisdom. I loved the harmony of the group and the place made possible by your presence and your orchestration.”
“A precious offering to find a way back home to myself. Entering a magical portal where everything slows down just enough for me to feel Life's mystery touching me. All my senses heightened by the silence. A time to re-member all the gifts that are so intricately embedded inside and all around me. Softly guided and safely held by the unwavering, steady presence of Georgina.”
“This retreat has allowed me to slow down, calm my nervous system, connect deeply with nature and with myself, allowing time for introspection and to process feelings and emotions that I often ignore or repress. I now feel more grounded and whole, and more aware about my reactions to life circumstances so I can choose from a calmer and clearer state of mind.
This time in silence, accompanied by beautiful souls, and feeling supported at all times by Georgina and the safe environment that she masterfully creates, has been highly restorative and nourishing.”
“Saturday afternoon was magnificent and allowed me to discover tools and my own resources to take care of my heart… and my whole being.
I rediscovered all your kindness and your gift for finding the right words to bring us serenity and inner joy.”

What others say
Thank you, and I hope to do it again :-)
Best wishes
Loved the safety of the group - made me feel I am not the only one feeling detached and in need of some menopausal self care - and some reawakening on all levels - makes me question my assumption and experience that my sexuality just floated away from me when I turned 50! Perhaps middle aged people can have fulfilling experiences again! It was good therefore to be in a group of women and to think about feminine energy in an upside down world. Thanks again.
