Flourish

Transformational Retreat For Women

Monday20th - Friday 24th NOVEMBER 2023 at Winscombe Court

A safe space to reconnect with yourself. To open up to what it is to just BE, and to not always be in the Do-ing!

As women we seem to always be on the go, whether we are a mother, partner, wife, business owner, entrepreneur, worker, therapist, carer, housewife, whatever our role in life we are often giving of ourself in one way or another.

This retreat set in beautiful Winscombe Court, gives you an opportunity to come back to receiving. Te innate feminine energy which many of us have forgotten in the busy-ness of our lives. A chance to gather with the founder of Sacred Sister, Interfaith Minister, Holistic Therapist and Coach, Laura Ireland as she guides you through this beautiful time to drop into yourself, to heal, to reconnect, to dance, to sleep, to swim, to walk and to eat delicious food, lovingly prepared for you to nourish your body and soothe your soul, to feel your way back to love, and remembering to fill your own cup first.

Laura will be joined by two amazing women to co-facilitate this week and to create the safe container for you to dive into;

Cherish Amber, sex and relationship coach, inner dance and breathework facilitator. Cherish brings her beautiful talents to Flourish, supporting you to connect with yourself and the world around you, heal deep trauma and hold you whilst you journey through this magical week. 

Emma Shoesmith, Earth Guardian, Soul Leadership Coach, Creative Consultant, Experience Alchemist, Speaker and Ceremonialist. Emma will take you on an exquisite journey with mama cacao and sacred song, flourish flow to move your body, and empowerment through connection. 

"Laura, Cherish and Emma are a powerful combo. I feel seen, inspired, deeply connected, receiving everything I needed and more."

This 5 day retreat will give you a chance to fully drop into the sacred space that is created here for you, in gorgeous surroundings. Arriving from 5pm on Monday to settle into the space, begin to connect with the women you will be journeying with. There will be a carefully curated schedule with the opportunity to dive into 4 workshop sessions a day, including inner dance, breath work, ceremony, movement, tools to take home, coaching, releasing rage, connection and more.   This allows you time to be together, space to relax, time to feel into your body, to let your mind rest, to hear your soul whisper, and to just BE. Your retreat will conclude with a Soul Feast Celebration on Thursday evening after dinner, and a reconnection ceremony early Friday morning, ready for all guests to depart by 9.00am Friday morning after a light breakfast.

Something magical begins to happen when you start to feel this retreat calling you. Those of you that gather,  will all be drawn to this space, at the same time, for a reason often unknown until we dive in together, this constellation will never be the same again, and it will become a deeply held, sacred container in which to explore all that it is to be loved just as you are, to come home to you.

What others have to say…

Laura, Cherish and Emma, You are beautiful women who have held us in such a safe space. I feel honoured to have been a part of this experience.

Beautifully held, nurturing space, for growth, redirection and enhancing life.

Best yoga class ever!

Feeling safe, supported and loved, this is precious!

I love that the ‘facilitators’ take part in their ‘co-facilitators’ workshops, showing that we are all the same, the work benefits us all.

Wow, what a release and transformation and it is only day one.

We were held with love and deep respect. Allowed to be fully ourselves., our quietness and our fierceness was welcome.

I have felt so deliciously held by Laura and the team. It’s allowed me to surrender and drop even deeper.

Thank you for helping me to feel divine!

It was just magical and special. Being looked after, given permission not to help or offer to help was so hard, but lovely. Having a bath run for you was nurturing. Feeling like you were understood and safe to express yourself was liberating. Not judged, just held and loved by everyone. Doing the morning Evolve and then having a swim was the best way to start my day. The fact the swimming pool is available at any time was also unexpected and so lovely. Bringing in the elements: the Fire Ceremony: the Water Ceremony; it was cleansing. I never thought I would be naked in front of a group of women and not feel self conscious, but it didn't even occur to me. It felt natural and accepting. (naked is a choice, not compulsory in anyway!)

To say Lauras retreat changed everything for me seems a very bold statement indeed and yet I firmly believe that it was a massive catalyst for me.

You see Laura has this magical way of making every woman feel seen and included, most of us have never experienced the power of this and it puts you in a different place right from the start and sets a tone for the whole group and the way each woman is included.

She is so skilled her field, it’s not something she does, it feels more integral that that, it’s something she has deeply lived and part of who she is.

As someone who found it really difficult to let go and to trust the whole experience was massive for me yet there were many women alongside me who had done similar things and yet they were also completely changed by the experience, there really is something quite unique and magical here; it was beautiful to experience within myself and beautiful to witness in others.

I’m forever grateful both to Laura and to myself for taking that leap of faith.

Retreat with Laura is being held in love and gentle care from the moment you arrive.

Laura has the gift of connecting you as a group while seeing in the moment what you the individual needs.

Every retreat I've spent with Laura, I've left feeling rested, rejuvenated and knowing another layer has been peeled back and healed, knowing I'm not alone and have the support of not just Laura but from the beautiful women I've had the pleasure and honour of sharing the journey with.

When I try to sum up why you should book your spot, I always find words inadequate and can only leave my deep gratitude for the difference they have made to my everyday life.
