NEW YEAR RETREAT
Suffolk Coast
14th-17th January
Land gently into the new year with a coastal countryside retreat. A weekend to rest, reflect and welcome the year ahead.
I love starting the year with a ritual, time for reflection, self-care and being in good company. I created this retreat to be a wholesome weekend where we move, rest, share meals and talk honestly about how we want the year ahead to feel, including the friendships we want to nurture. We'll set gentle intentions together, not resolutions, but to remind ourselves that we already have everything that we need. My hope is that you leave feeling steady, grounded and supported, with new & meaningful connections to walk this path with.

“The retreat completely cracked my heart open (in the best way!) Heather creates the most beautiful atmosphere of safety and trust, which allows people to be so vulnerable, whilst feeling super strong and powerful. It was truly inspiring week, the emotional connections, particularly during the workshops and meal times cannot be matched, and I don’t think anyone that was not on the retreat could ever understand it. Particularly love the last evenings of all the retreats I’ve been on, and will always hold a special place in my heart!”

“Heathers retreat was a joy from start to finish - I booked the trip spontaneously having wanted to do a yoga retreat for a while and was SO glad I did. Apart from Heather being one of the best and most holistic/well rounded yoga teacher's I've had (and such a lovely, welcoming person), it was also the group of interesting, kind, amazing women on the trip that made it so special (and fun). The Villa and location itself was stunning and a final shout out to the incredible chefs who kept us happy and well fed. Yoga, great conversion, time to allow yourself to slow down, laughter and amazing food...if you're thinking about it just book it!”
