Serene Wellness Day Retreat 2026

After the beautiful success of last year’s event, we’re returning to the stunning Sea Lanes in Brighton for another relaxing and inspiring wellness day designed especially for beginners.

If you’re curious about wellness but not sure where to start, this retreat offers a welcoming, pressure-free space to explore simple practices that help you feel calmer, more connected and recharged.

Throughout the day you’ll enjoy a variety of gentle, beginner-friendly experiences including:

• Accessible yoga from the amazing Laura- suitable for all abilities

• A deeply relaxing sound bath with the incredible Bliss

• A creative art clay workshop exploring sgraffito

• Guided journaling to help you reflect and reset

• An Essential Oil workshop where you will make your own scented body mist

• Our much loved vision board workshop is back to help you manifest your dreams and goals

We’ve made a few exciting changes to make the retreat even more accessible. By removing the fixed lunch from the ticket price, we’ve been able to lower ticket costs, giving you the freedom to choose your own lunch from the fantastic food options now available at Sea Lanes. We’ll still be offering complimentary tea, coffee and delicious pastries for our break time.

and...

We have two new workshops for you and a new Sound Bath facilitator!

Every participant will again receive a beautifully curated goody bag filled with wellness treats, so you can continue your self-care journey at home. Our aim is to create a warm, supportive environment where you can slow down, try something new and connect with like-minded people.

No experience needed - just bring yourself and an open mind.

We can’t wait to welcome you back to the incredible Sea Lanes venue and Luna Wave Studio, a unique Brighton seafront space to encourage reflection and a reset!

Journaling workshop:

Nina is a qualified teacher, Senior Mental Health Lead and a subject lead in Personal, Social and Health Education. She has extensive experience supporting mental health and wellbeing across all ages. She founded Serene Journals to create practical tools that encourage self-reflection, mindful goal-setting and emotional wellbeing in everyday life. Alongside this, Nina runs creative wellness workshops across the city, creating welcoming spaces where people can explore the connection between art, creativity, and wellbeing in a relaxed and supportive environment. During this session, Nina will gently guide the group through reflective journaling exercises and mindful goal-setting, helping you gain clarity, release what no longer serves you and set intentions for the months ahead.

Clay Sgraffito:

In this creative workshop led by Elizabeth, guests will have the opportunity to explore the calming, tactile world of clay in this creative sgraffito workshop. After shaping and preparing their clay piece, participants will experiment with the technique of sgraffito- gently scratching through the surface to reveal contrasting layers beneath. Through mark-making, patterns and simple decorative designs, this session invites you to slow down, enjoy the process and express your creativity in a relaxed and supportive space. No experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to play and explore.

Break!

Enjoy filter coffee & tea from the wonderful FIKA! There will be unlimited filter coffee and a selection of tea with dairy/alt milk, plus a selection of Cinnamon buns, cardamon buns, vegan cinnamon buns (VG) and breakfast flapjacks (VG).

Meditation with Elizabeth:

In this gentle and accessible meditation session, Elizabeth will guide guests through simple practices designed to help quiet the mind and reconnect with the present moment. Creating a calm and welcoming space for everyone, Elizabeth uses grounding techniques and soothing prompts to help participants switch off from the noise of everyday life. Whether you are completely new to meditation or have practiced before, this session invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and experience a moment of true stillness and mental clarity.

Vision Board Session with Nina:

It’s back- by popular demand! A creative space to get clear on what truly lights you up. In this gentle workshop, Nina will guide you through some simple prompts to reflect on your values, dreams, and what you want more of in your life, whether that’s a feeling, a shift, or something bigger. Then, using magazines, images, words and colours, you’ll create your own personal vision board, a visual representation of what you're calling in. No pressure, no rules. Just time to pause, reflect, and play with possibility. Whether you’re a seasoned vision-boarder or this is your first time, you’ll leave with something that feels meaningful and uniquely yours.

Lunch!

Ticket holders have one hour to soak up the sun and sea views in the outside eating area and order from the many fantastic food options Sea Lanes has on offer.

SCENTS an Essential oil workshop:

In this sensory and creative workshop, guests will explore the world of essential oils and the powerful connection between scent, mood and intention. You’ll be introduced to a variety of beautiful essential oils, discovering their unique aromas and how different scents can support relaxation, clarity or energy. Guided by Elizabeth, you’ll experiment with blending oils together to create your own personalised essential oil body mist. As part of the process, you’ll also reflect on the intention behind your blend, crafting a simple affirmation to use whenever you spray your mist- creating a small daily ritual to carry the calm and focus of the retreat with you.

Yoga with Laura:

Boy are we glad to welcome the amazing Laura back to Serene Wellness Retreat 2026! Laura is a yoga and dance teacher with a deep love for movement and the freedom it brings. She grew up dancing, finding joy and connection in every step & over time, her journey led her to yoga- a practice that transformed her perspective on the power of breath, inner wisdom, and stillness. Now, she shares her passion with children, teens, and adults, creating a safe and supportive space where others can reconnect with themselves, recognise their worth, and remember that they have always been enough. Laura’s yoga sessions are uplifting, joyful and welcoming- encouraging you to let go, release tension from the body and move in a way that feels freeing and fun.

Sound Bath with Bliss:

We’ll close the retreat with a deeply restorative sound bath led by Bliss in the beautiful Luna Wave Studio. With over 15 years of experience within holistic wellness, Bliss walks the path of a birth keeper and natural mystic, working with a range of modalities she views as ancient technologies. Drawing from these traditions, she weaves together sound, vibration and energetic practices to create intentional and immersive spaces that invite deep rest, reflection and reconnection. Bliss is also the facilitator behind Floating Frequencies in the city - a unique sound bath experiences where guests float gently on water while immersed in sound. With a deeply spiritual approach, Bliss creates calming, intentional spaces that invite participants to slow down, release tension and connect inwardly. Through soothing vibrations and immersive sound, this closing session will help draw together the reflections, growth and intentions from the day, allowing you to leave feeling grounded, restored and fully relaxed.

If you’ve been craving a day to pause, breathe and reconnect, this retreat is the perfect place to start your wellness journey. We’d love to welcome you.

Spaces are limited to keep the retreat intimate and relaxed, so we recommend booking early to avoid missing out. We can’t wait to share this special day of rest, creativity and connection with you by the sea.
