Is life already feeling rather full and busy for you?

Did you promise yourself more time for You this year?

Would you like to hold on to (or recapture!) some of that lovely slower pace you enjoyed over the holidays?

This Rest and Retreat Weekend could be just the answer. Created for those wishing to truly S T O P, rest and relax, it will allow you to rest into nature and spend time mindfully eating, walking, and just plain B E I N G.

Enjoy as much or as little activity and interaction as you wish, simply resting into a lovely retreat environment. Listen to the birdsong, watch the water over the harbour or retreat to a comfy chair with your book. A perfect way to nourish yourself this summer.

This weekend will allow you to:
> Truly unwind and relax in natural, restful surroundings
> Rest and restore yourself from the busy-ness and challenges of everyday life
> Have time to yourself, time to think and reflect and to feel more connected to your self
> Heal and attend to any challenges you want help with in 1:1 time with Karen
> Enjoy a greater sense of wellbeing
> Return to everyday life revived and ready to bring your best self to people and situations.
