children's day retreat
where stillness, mindfulness & self-discovery meet for a relaxing, holistic experience
new offering: Children’s day retreat (Ages 8–12) 
A single day for children to come home to themselves; slow down, decompress, move their body mindfully and reconnect.
The faster we go, the longer it takes to slow down. Give your child the gift of knowing we’re not designed to be ‘on’ all the time and there’s great power in the stillness. This day creates space in your child’s half term for them to relax and release, and learn tools for finding their own calm in the busy everyday.
Designed specifically for children aged 8-12, this soothing day will allow the space for children to down-regulate from their everyday lives. A thoughtfully immersive session that supports self enquiry, relaxation, confidence and release.
Children will experience a blend of grounding practices, mindfulness, self reflections, restorative yoga, breath-assisted stretches, sound bath journey, visual journaling and life coaching, nature connection, breathing for anxiety and sleep, meditation and guided visualisation. They’ll learn the origins and science behind these practices so they can understand as well as feel the benefits.
