RIVER RETREAT DAY Aboard Maria. B widebeam on the River in Ely Cambridgshire.
Life can go too fast, and your diary can feel overloaded with commitments which creates a sense of a never ending to do list, a backlog of unfinished jobs and a permanent feeling of urgency.
The River Retreat Day is for all overextended women who want to step out of busy, distraction and stress and step into stillness, peace, and freedom in a beautiful natural setting on the river. Meditation and coaching provide you with an approach to your life that takes you out of overwhelm and into freedom and peace. I warmly invite you to join me on the river, and step away from your fast pace so you can nourish your soul, rest and reconnect to your spirit.
HELLO SOUL, HELLO REST, HELLO SELFCARE
From the moment you step onto Maria.B, you will be guided through the surface layers of the flurry of your life to the open waters of stillness on the other side so you can come back into commune with yourself and your life.
During our River Retreat Day, you will experience a nurturing blend of meditation), life balance coaching, journaling and mindfulness in nature, allowing you to…
Strip back the noise of everyday life, so you can more easily listen to your own intuition so you can distill what is essential to you and the pace of life you would like to live
Peel away your heavy cloak of roles, responsibilities, and expectations of who you think you should be, and return to yourself and who you really are.
Experience a less frantic pace of living, which you can choose to take back to your everyday life and feel the benefits ripple out for weeks to come after our time together.
Look at life through a new lens, change the way you think and feel about yourself, helping you unfold, release and move forwards in your life with ease and lightness.
ABOUT MARIA. B
Maria. B is a beautiful light and airy 60 x 12ft wide beam canal boat which provides spaciousness and intimacy for our one to one sessions on the river. Located on the great river Ouse, where the way of life on the river is almost snail-paced, travelling at the most at 5mph for our afternoon cruise, this creates the perfect backdrop for stillness, rest, and freedom. I warmly invite you to join me on Maria. B where our day together will be a nourishing blend of meditation, journaling and cyclical living coaching, plus time to pause and take in the beautiful scenery of the river. It is my intention that you leave the river feeling nourished, with your integrity reclaimed and reconnected back to a rhythm of life that feels sustainable and freeing…
WRITE YOU WAY HOME TO YOURSELF
Journaling is a little like whispering to yourself and listening at the same time. I will be offering you deeper journaling exercises so you can get in touch with the touchy feely part of your brain and let your creative mind wander and be free.
The journal is yours to keep so you have something tangible to take away with you so you can remember and return back to your thoughts and good intentions once you step back onto land.
ABOUT STEPH
I practice cyclical living and live on the river Lark on the Cambridge/Suffolk border on my wide beam canal boat, Maria. B with my King Schnauzer Stanley. I have made bold choices to break free from the social norms of striving and productivity to turn my one adventure with the universe into a lifestyle I love using my intuition, imagination and creativity.
As an intuitive coach and meditation teacher, I assist women to develop a compassionate voice so they can live a life with freedom, ease, and a lot less stress. It is my aim to take you from disconnected and burnt out to energised, lighter, and connected to your own intuitive wisdom and purpose.
EXPECT TO BE NOURISHED
The invitation of this day retreat is about nourishment on the inside and the out, and slowing everything down, including the way we eat. I invite you to notice everything, for all the senses to be enlivened through sight, sound, touch and taste. I will prepare us slow food, perhaps made in the slow cooker that's plant based, and nourishes the soul and heart.
My experiences of running my own restaurant in Bali are woven through my cooking and recipes, and I am happy to share with you recipes for anything we eat that you might like to recreate once you are home. If you have any dietary requirements or preferences you can let me know on the booking form.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This is especially for rushing women who are feeling burntout, overextended and seeking ways to reset the fast pace of their lives to a more sustainable rhythm. A day on the river with me will show you a new way of being, one that is a special reality far away from the demands of every day life, giving you that precious space to step away from an over-committed life and into the wise, intuitive part of you that is always free.
