AN INVITATION FOR WOMEN
| Four autumn days to rest, reconnect, and remember yourself | 17–20 April 2026 · Black Miller |
A Yoga & Self-Compassion Experience
A sanctuary to pause, breathe & reconnect
This retreat is an invitation to come home to yourself — gently, tenderly, and with intention. Set against the backdrop of ocean views, flowing water, and forest stillness, Embrace offers a sanctuary to pause, breathe, and reconnect.
Across these four days, you’ll be guided through grounding yoga practices, nervous system nourishment, breath-work, and moments of reflection. But more than just rest, you’ll leave with a toolkit of simple, effective self-compassion and embodiment practices — ones you can weave into everyday life. Whether it’s a breath to centre yourself, a posture to ground you, or a new way of speaking to yourself with kindness — these tools will stay with you long after the retreat ends.
This is your time to soften, to restore, and to remember that you already hold everything you need within.
A gentle daily Rhythm
Our retreat schedule is lovingly curated to nurture your whole self—body, mind, and spirit. Each day offers a rhythm of movement, stillness, connection, and spaciousness.
Here's a glimpse of what to expect:
Morning session
• Gentle yoga to awaken and align
• Breath-work to ground your energy
• Yoga Nidra for deep, restorative rest
midday flow
• Nourishing, seasonal meals shared in community
• Time to explore the beauty around you: wander through native bush, dip into waterfalls, enjoy the sauna or heated pool, or curl up with a book in the sun
• Optional workshops on themes like self-compassion, embodied living, and nervous system care
Afternoon & Evening Sessions
• Restorative yoga and guided meditation to unwind
• Sound healing to soothe your senses and settle into stillness
• Silent nature walks, journaling, or creative practices
Plus… a Surprise Offering
A special experience awaits—something magical and meaningful, designed to delight your heart and deepen your journey. We’ll keep it under wraps until the right moment…
