Inward Gaze Retreat
September 18th – 21st 2026
“Take a gentle pause with us. Step away from the busyness of everyday life to breathe deeply, move gently and reconnect with yourself. Let the stillness of nature hold you and bring you back to balance.
We’d love you to join us to gaze inwards and let the stillness of nature bring you back to balance!
With Love As Always,
Bonnie”
Over three nurturing nights you’ll be tucked away in serene, natural surroundings to rest, release and reflect. Quiet magic unfolds when you finally give yourself permission to be. You’ll leave feeling grounded and renewed from the inside out.
Here are some pics from our
last Inward Gaze Retreat!
There are plenty of reasons to say yes to this experience. Take some time to reflect and spark that inner flame that might feel a bit dim right now.
Let go of the heavy stuff, life can get overwhelming with all its challenges and doing. Carving out a little time for yourself, even just a few days, can be so refreshing. This retreat is all about just being, reconnecting with your core self amidst the chaos, and nurturing that relationship with yourself.
If you’re eager to recharge beyond the noise of daily life, then this is the perfect chance for you. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to say ‘yes’ to a weekend of pure joy, a sacred time to breathe, inward gaze and let go in a space filled with positive energy.
