Self-love: day retreat for mothers

This is a full day of powerful ceremony, healing and sisterhood to pour love, care, pleasure and beauty into YOU.

As mothers we can tend to put our needs last, and end up feeling burnt out and exhausted as a result. Something powerful and revolutionary happens when we centre and gift ourselves the space and time to truly honour our bodies, emotions, souls and spirits.

We will be focusing on juicy and indulgent practices and rituals to leave you feeling nourished and loved up. Come fill your own cup mama and join us for:

♥️ Rose and cacao self-love ceremony
♥️ Heart, womb and yoni activation
♥️ Sacral chakra dance and movement
♥️ Anointing ceremony
♥️ Yoga, stretching and breath-work
♥️ Journalling
♥️ Wholesome snacks and herbal teas
♥️ A light delicious supper

We believe that by centering the mother, the whole community benefits and is uplifted. This means taking time out of the everyday duties and responsibilities, and deeply recharging, rejuvenating, and connecting with ourselves and others in sacred and meaningful ways.

Who leads it?

Saara Turiya is a healing practitioner specialising in energy work, shamanism, and trauma work. Saara has a background in community organising, and has always had a passion for bringing people together to share sacred spaces. Mothers are the lifeblood of our community, and Saara is deeply passionate about the wellbeing of all mothers. As a single mama herself, Saara knows how important it is for mothers to give to themselves, and how special and vital it is to have spaces that cater exclusively to mothers too. Yasmin Poyntz, founder of The Village London and director of Free We Grow is a local mama who loves to retreat! With modern busy lifestyles, rest and replenishment for ourselves as mothers can often be pushed to the bottom of the list, leading some to feel depleted, frazzled or stressed. Mothers play a central role to the health of their own families, rippling out into their communities. Yasmin believes it is vital that mothers are deeply looked after and cared for to promote health and vitality for generations to come.
