A Day Retreat: Slow Down, Connect, and Create
Join us for a luxurious day of self-care, all about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and embracing the joy of creating with your hands. This retreat is designed to give you space to breathe, unwind, and feel inspired.
We’ll start with a relaxed arrival between 10:00 and 10:30, giving you time to settle in, enjoy a cuppa, and chat without feeling rushed. Then we’ll ease into the day with a candle-making workshop led by Ellen, where you’ll:
- Learn about different types of wax and scents to create a candle that reflects your style.
-Discover the art of proper wick placement for an even burn and longer-lasting candle.
-Engage in a mindful, creative process as you pour and blend your candle with love and intention.
-Explore the beauty of aromatherapy and how different fragrances can uplift your mood and well-being.
After the workshop, we’ll take a short break to relax and enjoy a beautiful graze table spread filled with local produce and some homemade bakes—perfect for refuelling and soaking up the peaceful surroundings.
Next, we’ll move into the floral part of the day with Rhiannon. We’ll start with a gentle tour of the farm, taking in the sights and scents of the flowers in bloom. Back at the workshop space, Rhiannon will give a quick demo, sharing tips on the types of flowers and foliage you need to create a beautiful, balanced vase arrangement every time.
Please bring along a vase—ideally one you find tricky to use—so Rhiannon can offer tailored advice to help you feel confident arranging in it. After the demo, you’ll head back into the field to pick the flowers that catch your eye and create your own unique floral masterpiece.
We’ll wrap up the day between 4:00 and 4:30, leaving you with your handmade candle, a beautiful arrangement, and a heart full of calm, creativity, and connection.
