How’s your day? Hope you're well and have some beautiful weekending moments shaping up under the light of this Holi full moon 🌕💫💛

Know y’all are busy, with work and life and loves, not to mention wars that wage and virals that spiral 🧬 🦠

Yip, y’all have seen me flag/spam about an upcoming retreat - The Big Chill.

I just wanna say IF you had considered or entertained the idea of getting away for a hot little minute, mayhaps this might make it a little more “entertaining ...? 😉😂

Due to the current situ, the cost has been brought right down! 😄 Sooooo if you want to come join please do!

Please note that regardless of whether you have experienced anything like this before and practiced yoga or not, does NOT matter!! ALL levels are embraced and modifications to accommodate wherever you are at in your journey. Absolute beginners we love you!! ❤

Please don’t be “scared” or whatever. This is not a retreat where you’ll find yourself talking in tongues or doing any “wierd and whacky” shit. C’mon, it’s ME that’s your hostess and I promise to make it the mostess chilled and lovely experience for you.

Practices favour “restorative”, as opposed to “action Betty” styles. It’s a chance to get the frick away, reconnect, rejuvenate, refresh, release and just rest.

I’d love to hold space for y’all beautiful peoples and enable some reprieve, from the grind.

Anyhoo, that’s where I’m at, or WILL be at next weekend. @manaretreat in the Coromandel, I would loooove you to join me. It will be just a cool, intimate getaway. No strings, no ties, just cool peeps and chill vibes 🦋😎

Here’s a link to event to find out more about the eventut - but remember the #micdrop 🎤 there’s the #pricedrop 💥 so hit me up. Re any questions etc and to say yay or shanaynay - but hopefully it’s a yayay 😁

Be good to know sooner rather than laters of course. #nopressure 😂

Love you lots. And please of course, if you know anyone else you think be keen - pleeeeaaase share the dets . My number is 0274580355

With living costs skyrocketing, hardworking parents are finding it more difficult to provide their children with essentials like bedding, school uniforms or shoes.
