Who
Is the Stepping into Spring Retreat for you?
This weekend could be for you if you...
Want to learn how to live in sync with the seasons
Would like support to transition out of hibernation and into the growth of Spring/Summer
Know you want to create some space for yourself but you haven't known how (until now)
Want the opportunity to switch off from 'reality' and take a break from life
Desire a full-weekend where you only think about your needs
Want to connect with and know yourself more deeply
Want to connect with other like-hearted souls
Are ready to prioritise and invest in yourself
Would like to do something that is just for you
Want to embrace different health and wellness practices
So, I am curious to know...
When did you last prioritise yourself?
When did you last invest in yourself?
How long have you been thinking about doing something for yourself but not following through?
When was the last time you didn't have to organise, cook, clean, plan, tidy up, make the decisions, or think about anyone but yourself?
If you are struggling to remember then finding this retreat might be the sign you were looking for that you are ready to choose you and prioritise what you want for once

When
Whilst many of us welcome the return of Spring and Summer, some of us can struggle with the transition out of our Winter hibernation, going from a more inward facing season to a more outward facing energy.
Which is exactly why Stepping into Spring is held in April, after the Spring Equinox, as our days begin to get longer, the nights shorter, and the air warmer.
How do you feel about the arrival of Spring?
Does it fill you with excitement?
Are you anxious about leaving your hibernation?
The prospect of longer, lighter, warmer days.
For those of us who feel the excitement of the shift into Spring we can accidentally say yes to too much too soon which can then lead us to burn out before Summer has even arrived.
For those of us who feel resistance to leaving our quiet and cosy hibernation we can avoid supporting ourselves through the transition so that when Summer arrives we feel overwhelmed and 'behind'.
How would you feel if I told you that you don't have to continue to repeat either cycle?
Through embracing our innate and natural instinct to live in sync with the seasons you can completely change your relationship with our seasons.
My Stepping into Spring Retreat is a dedicated and intentional space to support you through the transition through Spring into Summer.
To provide you with not only a supportive, rejuvenating, and restorative experience, but most importantly the wisdom, knowledge, skills and practices to take home with you to carry through the changing seasons.
Why
We have become so disconnected from the seasons in our modern Western world. We have lost touch with our innate connection to the cycles of our seasons and how they impact how we feel and exist in our world.
When we live in sync with the seasons we feel more connected to the world around us.
When we feel more connected to the world around us we feel healthier, happier, more peaceful and content within our lives.
We are able to give ourselves more grace, love and compassion because we understand how the different seasons impacts how we feel and subsequently how we show up in our world.
My intention in creating this space for you, is to give you as many opportunities as possible to not only learn about seasonal and enjoy different health and wellbeing experiences, but to then be able to take those practices and knowledge home with you
I also wish for you to gift yourself the space to focus entirely on you.
To not have to think about anyone else.
To not have to prioritise anyone else's needs.
For you to be able to let go of all the pressure in your daily life.
This will always be a space for you to participate as much or as little as you would like.
For you to get what you feel that you need in the moment and to carry forward through the rest of Spring and Summer.
