Women’s Retreats

A collection of wellbeing retreats, created for you to rest, release and recharge.

These retreats are for women who are ready to step out of the busyness of everyday life and spend some proper time coming home to themselves.

Through movement, Yin, TRE, rest, and time in nature, each retreat offers space to slow down, release what you have been carrying and reconnect with your body.

Release Retreat

Atlas Mountains, Morocco

Saturday, 20th - Friday, 26th February 2027

The Release Retreat is my 6-night February sunshine escape, dedicated to slowing down, softening, and creating the space your body has been asking for.

Held just before Spring begins, it’s for you to gently shake off Winter, create space for what's next and return home with a deeper connection to your body and practical tools to support yourself long after the retreat ends.

To Root Retreat

Saturday, 9th - Thursday, 14th October 2027

Inspired by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this retreat offers a chance to slow down after the busy yang season of summer to rebuild your energy, nourish your Yin and reconnect with yourself, from the inside out.

Set within the beautiful surroundings of the Cabo de Gata-Niji Natural Park, at an off-grid eco retreat in southern Spain, To Root will weave together Yin Yoga, sound healing, movement, TRE®, acupuncture, acupressure and the wisdom of Chinese medicine to help you better understand your body, your inner seasons and yourself.

The Reconnection Retreat

SILVES, FARO

Sunday, 19th - Thursday, 23rd May 2028

The Reconnection Retreat is a co-creation between Lauren MacDonald and Laura Wilkes. It is a women's retreat, created to reconnect you to your body and your feminine power through deep rest, softness, and community.

Weaving together ritual, embodied movement, self-inquiry, trauma release, and sacred ceremony in a slow and gentle way, this retreat is your permission slip to fully rest, unwind, recharge, and re-awaken to the truth of who you are.

A Breath of Fresh Air

Swiss Alps, Switzerland

Sunday, 5th - Thursday, 9th March 2028

A collaborative retreat with Be Nourished

I'll be joining the wonderful Hannah Campbell and the Be Nourished community in the Swiss Alps for a Spring retreat, where I'll be sharing Yin Yoga, TRE® and Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture.

Surrounded by the stillness of the mountains and the fresh air that surrounds them, these few days are to step away from the pace of everyday life and experience the spaciousness that's often missing from our calendars. There'll be time to rest, reflect, explore the beautiful alpine landscape and take some much-needed time you need for yourself.
