A little note from me— Georgia, the creator of this goodness.
For over 10 years, I’ve been offering beautiful restorative experiences for people— small immersions, day retreats and several day ones. And over this time I’ve noticed that people have become more busy, more time poor, more overwhelmed and over-commited, and less connected to themselves.
Slowing down, is more important than ever.
Originally this offering was to be full day retreat— for people to really unwind and just be. But after listening to my wonderful community, it became very apparent that — as much as everyone was craving and needing a precious pause— finding a full day for themselves (at this time of year), was creating more pressure and stress, and that is most certainly not what I’m about!
In hearing this, adjustments were made and here we are with, a Sunday siesta, a shorter half day experience instead— meeting you where you’re at. And while the retreat duration time has lessened, the quality has not.
This 1/2 day retreat, like all my offerings, is still one very nourishing and replenishing afternoon retreat— crafted with care, and filled with a whole lot of love and intention— to help you to feel a little lighter, and more like you.
So, my beautiful time-poor and in-need-of-deep-rest friend, this is your invitation to join me (and 10 other women) for an afternoon of gentle goodness and genuine rest — where you have full permission to pause.
I can’t wait to share the sweet goodness of a Sunday siesta with you. And take you from doing to being, from rushing to resting and feeling stretched to spacious.
With love,
Georgia xx
