How To Winter
Advertisement
Welcome to North Star Retreat, welcome to my home. Has your previous experience of retreats been that it's all felt a little big and overwhelming? As you navigate midlife do you find yourself preferring smaller groups to big gatherings? Then a retreat at North Stay might be just what you are looking for.
North Star is designed in a 'Scandi Seaside' style and set on a quarter acre country plot it feels like the middle of nowhere, yet we are just 7 minutes from the sea and crisp coastal paths.
Who is this retreat for? We live in a world that never sleeps. As the year draws to a close, rather than drawing in, as the season suggests, we expand into the business of Christmas. Then, once Christmas is done, and January arrives we are left in a spin and wondering when the nights got dark and willing it to end. But winter is about slowing down, not speeding up so this retreat is an invitation to find a space to rest before the festivities begin. How to winter will help you embrace a slower pace of life.
We gather on Friday afternoon from 4 and I will guide you through the weekend which will be a mixture of yoga, breath, meditation, sauna, swimming (if desired) fireside chats and delicious food. The meals are vegetarian and will include Brunch, Fika (cake and cuppa midafternoon) and Dinner.
You will be joining me in Northern Ireland and since living here I have become more connected to the Celtic Wheel than I was before. This retreat will fall at Yule which occurs from mid-November until the end of December. I will share practices and stories with you to help you live in harmony with this time like crafting or making and resting, which should not be overlooked.
I have found ceremony and ritual have really helped with my menpause journey, especially when I felt a little disconnected from myself, my femininity. On Saturday evening we will head to the sauna for a sauna ritual to ignite the feminine.
There are two king sized bedrooms, one with luxury ensuite, the other shares it's bathroom with the twin room.
✨ Luxury King Size with ensuite ~ £495
✨ King Size with shared bathroom ~ £440
✨ Twin with shared bathroom ~ £395 (price per person)
The price includes all meals, bottomless cuppas, fruit and all activities offered at the house. There will be an organised trip to the beach, also included. There will be down time and if you wish to explore further, there are lots of great places and walks nearby like Mount Stewart a fabulous National Trust property, but these might incur a personal cost to you. If you fly into Belfast City or arrive by train into Bangor Northern Ireland, you will be collected from these locations. There is plenty of parking on site if you are coming by car.
To book please speak to me about room choice, once confirmed a £125 non-refundable deposit secures your space. The balance is then due 25th September and once this date comes, the balance is also non-refundable.
