There are moments when life asks too much. When the noise of the world drowns out the quiet knowing of who you are. This afternoon retreat is an invitation to put all of that down and simply return to yourself.
Held within the beautiful tipi at the water's edge at Wanderlust Willows, this intimate mini retreat has been lovingly curated by Kate Cheer of Star Alchemy and Jen of Serenity Yoga. Together, they have woven together four deeply restorative experiences designed to work with your body, your energy and your senses to guide you back to a place of ease, stillness and reconnection.
This is your permission to step away from the doing, and come home to the being.
Your Afternoon Journey
Restorative Yoga — Restorative & Slow We begin by inviting the body to soften. Guided by Jen of Serenity Yoga, this gentle 45-minute restorative practice works with the deeper layers of connective tissue, releasing held tension and drawing your awareness inward. Supported by nature all around you, each pose becomes an opportunity to breathe, let go, and arrive fully in the present moment.
Scent & Sound Healing The senses are powerful portals to healing. In this 45-minute experience, pure botanical scents and the resonant frequencies of sound work in harmony to soothe the nervous system, clear stagnant energy, and bring the body into a state of deep rest. Allow the vibrations to wash through you, and let the natural aromatics anchor you gently back to earth.
Energy Alchemy Healing In this quiet, held space, Kate and Jen will take you into a 45-minute energy healing session working gently with the body's energy field to release what no longer serves you, restore flow, and reawaken your natural vitality. Clients often describe this as a profound sense of peace, a feeling of being truly seen, and a renewed sense of clarity and inner strength.
Afternoon Tea by the Lake We close the afternoon the way all good things should end…gathered together, nourished and unhurried. Enjoy homemade cakes, freshly baked scones and handcrafted raw chocolates alongside botanical herbal teas, as the lake reflects the last of the afternoon light. This is time to be still, to share, and to carry that sense of renewal gently back into the world.
