✨ The Abundance Retreat: Yoga, Candle-Making & Dining ✨
A beautiful escape to move, create, and gather around the table.
Give yourself a day to step away from your usual routine and enjoy movement, creativity, and meaningful connection in the stunning surroundings of the Atrium at Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth.
Through yoga, guided meditation, and candle-making, we’ll explore abundance beyond material things—the time we make for ourselves, the relationships that nourish us, and the everyday moments we sometimes rush past.
Enjoy a delicious lunch, gather around the table with new and familiar faces, and take home a candle you created with your own intention. Come with a friend or on your own—there’s a place for you here.
✨ What to Expect:
▪️ Welcome & Intention-Setting: Settle into the space and reflect on what you’d like to welcome more of into your life.
▪️ Guided Meditation: Take a moment to breathe, quiet the mental noise, and connect with yourself.
▪️ Yoga with Juliana: Enjoy a welcoming practice combining mindful movement and breath. All experience levels are welcome.
▪️ Candle-Making with Renata: Explore fragrances and handcraft your own soy candle—a personal reminder of the intention you set during the retreat. One candle and all materials are included.
▪️ Lunch at Saint John’s Resort: Enjoy a buffet lunch, with vegetarian options available, and time to connect, share stories, and savor the experience together.
▪️ A Gift to Take Home: Each participant will receive a thoughtfully prepared gift bag as a little reminder to keep making time for themselves.
