Breath & Body - Women's Half-Day Retreat

Step into a gently guided afternoon designed to help you release, restore, and reconnect.

This woman’s half-day retreat blends Conscious Connected Breathwork, Guided Hypnotherapy, and Somatic Movement, designed to help you slow down, reconnect and rebalance your nervous system.

During this immersive afternoon, you will be guided through:

• Somatic movement to gently open the body and release tension
• A Conscious Connected Breathwork journey
• A deeply relaxing hypnotic experience
• Journalling and creative reflection for integration

Each element is designed to work together as a gradual journey into rest, release, and reconnection.

This is a women-only, trauma-informed space, held with care, presence, and attention to emotional safety.

The group will be intimate (6–10 women) to support a connected and personal experience.

The retreat will be confirmed once a minimum of 6 places are booked.

• Light refreshments will be provided
• If the weather allows, we’ll spend some time outdoors in Tilgate Forest
• No previous experience with breathwork or hypnotherapy is needed
• Mats, blankets, and eye masks are provided, but please feel free to bring an extra mat, blanket, or anything else that will help you feel even more comfortable.
• Please eat a light lunch before arriving, but avoid eating heavily beforehand. Healthy, energising snacks will be provided during the retreat.
• If you have any allergies, please let me know in advance.

This retreat is for anyone experiencing stress or tension in the body and mind and in need of release and reset.

It may particularly support you if you:

• Feel emotionally or physically overwhelmed
• Are holding stored stress or emotions
• Are seeking balance and nervous system regulation
• Need a supportive space for self-care
• Are curious about experiencing a retreat in a safe, professionally held environment

All practices are guided, trauma-informed, and consent-based, with space for self-agency throughout. Sharing is encouraged but always optional.

You will leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more grounded, with simple practices you can integrate into daily life, along with a deeper connection to your body and breath.

“I took part in a breathwork group session held by Sarah. She created a safe and calming environment. This enabled us to explore our feelings and express our emotions as we wanted, as we had total trust in her ability as a facilitator. This was helped by her soothing voice. I would thoroughly recommend Sarah.”
