'Nurture'

“In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
— Albert Camus, Return to Tipasa

Embark on a Journey of Rest and Replenishment at our 1-Day Winter Solstice Retreat.
Winter invites us to turn inward. As the days grow shorter and the natural world becomes quieter, the earth rests and gathers its energy beneath the surface. It is a season of stillness, restoration and deep nourishment.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and explore the gentle practice of nurturing; honouring your need for rest, receiving what sustains you and tending tenderly to what is quietly growing within.

A 1-NIGHT WINTER SOLSTICE EMBODIMENT RETREAT

The Gifts of Nurturing!

Rest

Honour your need to slow down. Winter invites you to release the pressure of constant doing and create space for stillness, restoration and renewal.
Give yourself permission to pause.

 

Nourishment

Tend gently to what sustains you. Nurture encourages you to listen to your needs and replenish yourself through warmth, care, comfort and connection.
Receive what you need.

Inner Wisdom

Turn inward and listen deeply. In winter’s quiet, you can hear the subtle wisdom of your body, reflect on what matters and reconnect with the light within.
Trust what is quietly unfolding.

A Winter Solstice Afternoon of Rest, Nourishment & Inner Wisdom

 

There is a particular kind of nourishment that becomes possible when we slow down. When we step away from the noise, the demands and the relentless pace of everyday life, something within us begins to soften. We notice the coolness of the air on our skin. The quiet beneath the trees. The gentle winter light. The comforting warmth of a nourishing meal. The steady rhythm of our own breath.

We remember how to rest.

This Winter Solstice, you are invited to spend an evening reconnecting with the living world around you; and with the part of yourself that longs to be held, restored and deeply nurtured.

Nurture is an invitation to honour your need for rest, tend gently to what sustains you and listen to the quiet wisdom unfolding within.

Through nature, sensory awareness, creative and contemplative practices, stillness, reflection and gentle embodied exploration, we will create space to slow down and listen differently. To soften. To release. To receive. To remember that rest is not something we need to earn, but an essential part of our natural rhythm.

This is a day for remembering that winter is not an empty season to endure; it is a sacred time for rest, replenishment and renewal.

Come and spend an afternoon and evening beneath the trees, close to the earth, in good company and held by the quiet beauty of the rainforest.

Slow down. Turn inward. Receive deeply.
Allow yourself to be nurtured.

Are you feeling emotionally or physically depleted, longing for deep rest and time to tend to your inner world? 

Do you struggle to prioritise your own needs, often putting others first at the expense of your own wellbeing? 

Perhaps you're craving a pause from daily demands; a space to slow down, reconnect with your body and remember what it feels like to be truly cared for?

 

THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY.

Hi! I'm Monique.

I WILL BE YOUR GUIDE FOR THIS AFTERNOON OF REST, NOURISHMENT AND INNER WISDOM 

 

I’m a trauma therapist, group facilitator and space holder with a deep love for helping womxn and non-binary folk come home to themselves. With over 20 years of experience in trauma recovery and nervous system regulation, I specialise in guiding others, especially those impacted by complex trauma and early relational wounds, through gentle, embodied processes that foster safety, connection and vitality.

In this mini retreat in the rainforest, I bring together my background in Somatic Experiencing®, eco-therapy and expressive arts to create a nourishing space for you to soften, reconnect and remember the wisdom that lives inside your body.

I love creating spaces where people can soften, listen deeply and reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies, the restorative rhythms of nature and what truly nourishes them.

For this Winter Solstice afternoon, I invite you to step away from the demands of everyday life and into a space of warmth, stillness, reflection and gentle care; and perhaps discover what becomes possible when you allow yourself to be deeply nurtured.
