🌱 Spring Equinox Retreat
20–22 March 2026
Dorset
Residential & Non-Residential Options Available
Join us for a deeply nourishing Spring Equinox Retreat, held over the true beginning of the spiritual new year — a time of balance, renewal and intentional new beginnings.
Hosted by Esther of Essential Energies and Olivia of Love and Willow, this is a non-yoga retreat, created for those who are craving space, rest and reconnection — without pressure or performance.
As we move from the closing cycle of Pisces into the initiating energy of Aries, this retreat offers a powerful opportunity to pause, reflect, and consciously step into what you want to grow in the year ahead.
✨ What to Expect
Across three days, you’ll be gently supported through:
• Guided meditation and daily breathwork
• Creative workshops including altar-making and intuitive journaling
• A Spring Equinox fire ceremony
• A deeply restorative evening gong bath (pyjamas welcome)
• A closing ceremony and cacao ritual
• One Reiki session included for every guest
There is a gentle structure to the retreat, with plenty of free time for rest, journaling, coastal or woodland walks, or simply being.
All food is provided and beautifully nourishing, home-cooked and prepared with care, supporting you on every level.
📍 Location
The retreat is held at a beautiful five-star bed and breakfast in Broadstone, Dorset BH18.
While the accommodation itself is within a township setting, it is ideally located for easy access to:
• The Jurassic Coast
• Sandbanks Beach
• Woodland and coastal walks
Residential and non-residential options are available.
Additional 1:1 treatments will be available as added extras, choosing from:
- Shamanic healing
- Transformative Breathwork
- AromaTouch Technique
- Angel & Oracle card reading

Committing early means you have the choice of booking the luxury ‘Suite’ (including separate sitting area, and bath as well as shower facilities), for NO EXTRA COST.
💖 Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for you if you’re seeking:
• Time out from everyday roles and responsibilities
• A slower, more intentional pace
• Soul-level nourishment and reflection
• A supportive, gently held group environment
No prior experience with meditation, breathwork or energy work is needed.

🕰 Practical Details
• Arrival: Friday 20 March from 4pm
• Departure: Sunday 22 March at 4pm
• Investment: £500 - £750 (depending on option chosen)
Booking and full details are available via the link provided.
🌿 An Invitation
This is not about doing more —
It’s about feeding the right parts of yourself.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, reset and realign, we’d love to welcome you.
✨ Spaces are limited to maintain the intimate nature of the retreat.
✨ Booking is now open ✨
