About
Time for you
Each Women's Retreat provides a unique opportunity for you to take precious time for yourself. From the moment you arrive, you will be invited to relax, let go, and be guided through a day of complete bliss and self care. All retreats include Yoga or Pilates, meditation, a walk in nature, a wellbeing workshop, and delicious, healthy homemade food.
In nature
My Women's Retreats are set in stunning locations across the North York Moors National Park. Venues are chosen for their beautiful energy, their natural setting and their breathtaking surroundings. Getting outdoors is a key aspect of the day and provides a wonderful opportunity to breath in the fresh air and move in nature.
Nourish and re-charge
Every aspect of the day is designed to nourish your mind and body. From the day's menu, which is designed and cooked by Nicola using her skills as a Nutrition Coach and passionate cook; to the wellbeing workshops carefully chosen to provide you with a new and enriching experience; through to the little 'touches' on the day designed to enliven your senses.
With exclusive use of Nunnington Hall's beautiful gardens, this day retreat will be a treat for the senses. Allow me to take you through the plan for this special day, designed to connect you to your natural surroundings...
Our morning will begin with tea and coffee, before we lay out our mats on the lawn for guided meditation, breathwork and Yoga. Take a mindful walk through the summer gardens before finding a spot in the shade to journal your thoughts. Upon your return to the main lawn, you will be led in a watercolour painting workshop by Ione Harrison, who will introduce you to painting techniques and teach you how to capture the beauty of your surroundings.
We will then break for a home-made summer picnic, on the lawn, beside the rose garden.
Once nourished, we will continue our painting and create our very own artworks to take home. Before we depart, we'll all come together to enjoy refreshments in the garden.
Join me for a day of complete relaxation and creativity, at the start of Summer, in the stunning gardens of Nunnington Hall. If you love Yoga, gardens and painting, then this is a day not to be missed!
