Soul Awakening: Mini Retreat
Saturday 20th June • 10am • Hawea Flat
A midwinter gathering of stillness, surrender, and inner light.
Ladies, as the wheel of the year turns and we arrive at the longest night, you are invited into a sacred pause.
Soul Journey is a half-day mini retreat created to help you slow down, soften inward, and honour this powerful threshold. The winter solstice is the still point; the moment when darkness is at its fullest and the light begins its quiet return. It is a time to rest deeply in the dark, to release what no longer serves you, and to tend the ember of what you are ready to call in as the sun slowly strengthens.
This is a deeply nourishing morning to come home to yourself. To ground into your body, steady your nervous system, and listen to the quiet wisdom that lives beneath the noise of everyday life.
We will begin by sharing a heart-opening cup of ceremonial cacao, a sacred plant medicine that supports reflection, presence, and a gentle dropping in. Cacao invites us out of the mind and into the heart, creating a warm and held foundation for the practices that follow.
From here, you'll be guided through grounding breathwork, slow and spacious yin yoga, and a guided meditation attuned to the energy of the solstice. These practices are designed to support release, deep rest, and renewal, helping you align with the stillness of the season and the returning light it carries.
This Soul Journey Retreat is for you if you're feeling depleted, craving quiet, or simply longing for a few hours to be held in a calm, intentional space. You'll leave feeling more centred & connected.
What to expect:
✨ A nourishing cup of ceremonial cacao
✨ Grounding breathwork to settle the nervous system
✨ A deeply restorative yin yoga practice
✨ Guided meditation aligned with the energy of the winter solstice
✨ Space to rest, reflect, and reconnect with your inner light
All you need to bring is your open heart, a journal, and a water bottle, everything else is provided.
Ready to honour the dark, welcome the returning light, and step into the second half of the year with intention? Claim your space and join us for this soul-nourishing morning. I can't wait to share this sacred space with you.

FAQs
-
Ceremonial cacao is a 100% pure cacao-bean paste that has been used in sacred ceremonies for centuries. Known for its heart-opening properties, cacao helps deepen meditation, enhances clarity, and brings a sense of calm, allowing you to connect more fully with your inner self.
We'll mix it with coconut milk, spices & a little maple syrup to sweeten the deal. (Please let me know if any of these ingredients aren't suitable for you.)
Ceremonial cacao is generally safe, but it does contain a small amount of caffeine, which is why I'm sharing it with you in the morning. If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out to me.
