What started as a simple idea—to host peaceful day retreats where people could take a breath and reconnect—has grown into a heart-led movement of collaboration, creativity, and community. I began by opening up my space and my heart to others, bringing together amazing independent women to share their skills, passions, and healing practices. Together, we created soulful retreat days filled with mindful arts, nourishing food, gentle conversation, and the kind of connection that leaves you feeling held, seen, and restored.

These retreats weren’t just about time out—they became safe, welcoming moments of pause in busy, often overwhelming lives. Over time, they began to evolve, shaped by the beautiful people involved and the heartfelt needs we saw around us. Our gatherings are more than events—they’re reminders of what it feels like to come home to yourself in a space where you’re supported, inspired, and gently encouraged to breathe again.

Through these collaborations, our mission has deepened. We’ve worked alongside charities as part of our Social Moments enterprise with Mindfulness initiative, providing support for local food banks and offering spaces where people in need could experience calm, connection, and care. We’ve created Parent & Child Retreats to nurture families, exploring simple, gentle ways to manage anxiety—for the child, the parent, and even the teacher—always underpinned by playfulness, kindness, and creativity. One of our most cherished features is our Tent of Kindness, a magical space where love and compassion are always at the heart.

Our journey has taken us into schools, where we’ve led mindful, creative sessions that help children and teachers reconnect and regulate. We hope to bring many more of these moments into classrooms, supporting mental wellbeing from the inside out. We’re also deeply grateful for our blossoming relationship with John Lewis, who have welcomed us into their stores to offer mindful moments on the high street—something we are excited to continue developing with new partners.
