Retreats
If you’re looking for an epic girls trip, new experiences and connections, learning, fun and rest, a Shine Retreat is calling you!
Spring Mini Retreat
Join us in the beautiful Nest for a relaxing, nourishing evening in a cosy log cabin nestled in the trees. We’ll lie by a roaring fire with the birds singing through the open doors and enjoy a powerful journalling session followed by a deeply relaxing meditation.
Wearing your cosiest clothes you will drift away to soothing sounds, candles and fairy lights twinkling around you.
You can truly switch off and enjoy the experience – you’ll leave feeling super relaxed and happy, and feel refreshed for Spring.
Suitable whether you’re a regular to journalling or meditating or a first timer – just think of it as a deep relaxation session. You are writing privately in the journalling and no-one is asked to share.
This is an intimate event with 8 attendees max so don’t delay in booking if you’re keen.

Why retreats?
When do you ever make time, space and energy in your life to focus on you, who you are, figure out what excites you, what you need and want from your life, and how you might start to think about getting there?
For women especially, it’s rare that we give ourselves permission to take time out and allow ‘us’ to be the centre of our attention! This can happen when we go on great courses, but I also want it to happen more often with Shine Weekend Retreats.
After a thoroughly mind- and body-nourishing weekend, can you imagine not being affected by fatigue and overwhelm, finding your direction and focus, feeling happier, more present, and well rested than ever before?
My mission is to give you space, time, and connection, and send you away armed with simple and useful tools to live a life you once dreamed of.
Who is this retreat for?
If you struggle with feelings of overwhelm and find yourself tired of your hectic lifestyle, and you want to live a life you dream of, this weekend is perfect for you.
How often have you come back from a holiday feeling unhealthy, not that well rested, and in need of another holiday?
Well, after a Shine Retreat you’ll feel rested, nourished, and inspired!
You’ll connect and laugh with a group of incredible women and make friends for life.
You’ll learn and focus in on the changes and tweaks you want to make to make life better.
You’ll envisage the dream future you have, and start working towards it.
You’ll feel confident, happy, inspired, and equipped to take on life’s challenges with more resilience and excitement than ever before.
FAQs - The Shine Retreat Weekend
Pricing is based on sharing a spacious room with other guests – you’ll either share with 1 or 3 others, and all the rooms allow plenty of space with great facilities. Plus sharing is a fun part of the experience. ☺ If you want a room to yourself, let me know and I can work out a price for a double room for single occupancy.
The retreat takes place at the gorgeous West Lexham in Norfolk.
The venue is easiest to find by car and there’s loads of parking – but don’t worry – if you don’t drive or prefer to come by train, the nearest station is Downham Market, easily accessed from London & Cambridge plus connecting stations from Ely. If you plan to come by train, let me know as I will do my best to pair you up with other guests also coming by train and/or arrange lifts if people are coming from that area.

Please note as per terms all activities are subject to change in the event of any circumstances beyond my control.
