What to expect
Arrival and welcome: The day commences at the light-filled Wasing Pavilion, where we indulge in tea and engage in meaningful conversations.
Yoga: Then we embark on a serene journey with a gentle breathwork and yoga session led by the talented Lesley Thomas, setting the tone and energy for the day.
A walk to the lake: Next, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the ancient woodland, leading us to the tranquil lake and sauna area. The Wasing retreat in July is a gorgeous time to immerse yourself in the pristine pure waters, the lush surroundings – and the bliss of alternating between dips in the wood-fired sauna perched on the lake’s edge.
Lunch alfresco: Afterward, we’ll gather around an open fire for a delicious and healthy lunch bowl. With vegetarian and vegan options available, you can savour the flavours and indulge in hot cacao and tea, nurturing your body and spirit.
The Wasing NOON Circle: Once satiated, we’ll find a spot for a transformative NOON sharing circle, facilitated by Eleanor Mills, the esteemed Founder of NOON. Depending on the weather, this might be outside under a tree or back in the Pavilion. Then we’ll delve into discussions on embracing new chapters in midlife and becoming the women we’ve always aspired to be. This sacred space fosters support and compassion, where stories are shared and hearts are heard.
Final goodbyes: As the day draws to a close, we know from experience we’ll part refreshed, inspired and connected to a whole new group of friends. We’ll say our goodbyes and thanks for a glorious day together.
