Upcoming retreat

JUST BE

A women's rest retreat

Sometimes we need a few days away from daily life. A few gentle days to step away from the noise and demands of everyday life and come HOME to yourself. Come HOME to your heart.

A space to rest. To breathe. To sleep deeply. To be nourished and cared for. To reconnect with ourselves, nature, and softer rhythms.

JUST BE is a gentle women's rest retreat here at Home House Homestead in the Norfolk countryside — a retreat for women longing for space to simply be, without pressure, agenda, a schedule, or expectation.

Space to

  • Rest and sleep deeply
  • Walk in nature
  • Read beneath the apple trees
  • Journal, pray, or meditate
  • Share stories around the fire
  • Enjoy wholesome homemade food
  • Sing, move, create
  • Or simply do nothing at all but sleep and eat

Optional practices may organically arise throughout our days together: movement, breathwork, prayer, dhikr, music, creativity, storytelling, and quiet reflection. And maybe none of it may arise depending on the needs of the group. Everything is invitational. Everything soft.

This is not a retreat about fixing yourself. It is a space to soften, exhale, and come HOME to yourself.

There is also an invitation for less online use and more presence, connection, nature, and real rest during our days together — an opportunity to put your phone in a box for your stay if that feels like something you'd like to do as an intention. You can of course have it at any point for women concerned about children, families, and people they care for.

This retreat is for

  • The woman who is tired, worn out, and needs a rest
  • The woman longing to exhale
  • The woman craving simplicity, slowness, nature, warmth, and meaningful connection
  • The woman who works long days and never stops
  • The woman who spends all her time looking after her family and loved ones
  • The woman who wants to be with other women in an organic, natural environment with no agenda other than to just be together
  • The woman who longs to slow down enough to listen to her heart and deep inner wisdom

Bespoke retreats

Bespoke retreats for women

I offer bespoke, in-person retreats for women at Home House, for those who feel called to come and work with me more deeply.

Held in a peaceful and nurturing setting, these retreats are an invitation to slow down, soften, and enter into a deeper process of healing, rest, and reconnection.

Each retreat is created around your individual needs. Your time here may include Sufi healing, breath and bodywork, hijama, massage, sacred sound, as well as space to rest, be in nature, and simply be.

You are welcome to come alone, or with a sister, friend, or small group. Retreats can be held as quiet, restorative stays, or as more guided and immersive healing experiences.
