"I will be forever grateful to Joanna and her skill sets of understanding just what a person needs to recover from burnout and I would highly recommend her retreats to those that just need to stop and take time out and nurture the soul."
Tim Bonar, 'Tribal Green Retreats', Newcastle
Again and again I heard the same words from friends who visited:
“I didn’t realise how much I needed this.”
That was when the idea for Nourish Ourselves Retreats began to take shape.
This retreat may be perfect for you if:
• you feel emotionally exhausted
• you are navigating a life transition
• you need space to think
• you want a few days without responsibility
• you long for quiet
• your soul needs some spiritual nourishment
The 'Do Nothing' Retreat
This retreat is different.
There is no schedule to keep up with.
No pressure to transform yourself.
Just rest.
If something gentle calls to you — cooking, photography, yoga, a visit to a local market, a meal out, a guided meditation, conversation — it is there.
But the real invitation is simple:
Come and breathe again.
During your stay you might
• sleep longer than you have in years
• wander through vineyards
• read books in the garden or by one of the wood-fired stoves
• cook simple nourishing meals together
• learn creative photography
• receive a massage
• or simply do nothing
And doing nothing is very welcome here.
You don’t have to keep holding everything together.
Many people arrive here exhausted.
From work.
From caring for everyone else.
From the noise of the world.
This retreat is simply a place to pause.
To sleep deeply.
To walk slowly.
To eat nourishing food and remember who you are underneath the busyness.
