The Relaxed Woman Mini Retreat

A cozy afternoon of rest, reflection & connection

What would you do with three hours if there was nowhere else you needed to be—and nothing you needed to accomplish?

Maybe you’d read a book. Linger over your coffee. Journal. Create something. Have a meaningful conversation. Sit quietly.

Or maybe you’d simply do very little at all.

The Relaxed Woman Mini Retreat is an invitation to step away from the doing for an afternoon and experience what it feels like to have time and space intentionally set aside for rest.

We’ll begin with The Art of Rest, a guided and experiential workshop exploring why rest matters, why it can sometimes feel so difficult, and simple ways to support your nervous system and create more restorative rhythms in everyday life. Our time may include reflection, breathwork, gentle movement, guided relaxation, meditation, and simple restorative practices.

Then, lunch is taken care of.

After lunch, we’ll settle into The Rest Hour—unhurried time with no agenda and nothing you need to accomplish.

Read. Journal. Bring a simple craft. Work on a puzzle. Sip your coffee. Connect with someone. Sit quietly.

Choose what feels restorative to you.

We’ll close our afternoon together with gentle reflection and meditation before returning to the rest of our weekend.

Your afternoon includes:

  • The Art of Rest workshop

  • Guided restorative practices

  • Café lunch

  • The Rest Hour

  • Closing reflection + meditation

  • Space for connection, quiet and simply being

Inspired by The Relaxed Woman by Nicola Jane Hobbs and the conversations emerging from The Relaxed Woman Book Club. You do not need to have read the book or be part of book club to attend.

This is not a yoga retreat or yoga class. No yoga or meditation experience is needed. Chairs and other accommodations will be available, and you are always encouraged to participate in a way that feels supportive for your body and needs.
$49 per person • Café lunch included
Space is intentionally limited.

Come exactly as you are.

I’ll hold the rest.
