Restoring Radiance Retreat

13-15 February 2026 // Cromwell

WITH SARAH MENLOVE & KATE WATKINSON

Heart, Soul, Shine

WELCOME. You are invited to join us on a journey of restoring radiance. This women’s retreat is a space for you to slow down, to reconnect with what brings you alive, as you open to curiosity, wonder and mystery. We experience REST as the way home to our most RADIANT selves.

ARE YOU READY TO RESTORE YOUR RADIANCE?

Join us for a transformative journey at the Restoring Radiance Retreat 2026 where we will explore:

What radiance means
How to authentically tap into it
What prevents us from feeling connected to and expressing our innermost radiance
Practices to reignite that spark of aliveness from within

This is for you if you:

Give a lot to others and are ready to restore & replenish yourself
Desire to feel more aliveness, passion, and joy in your life
Value taking time out from your everyday tasks to reconnect with the mystery and magic that can sometimes be forgotten
Love gathering in sacred space with other women
Are on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment & growth
Want to reconnect with YOUR radiance and express this in your life

This is a call to REIMAGINE, RESTORE and REIGNITE the RADIANCE within YOU through sacred practice, inner journeys & group connection.

Something magic happens when a group of women come together to remember what has always been within us. Each woman brings her unique thread to weave through the tapestry of our time together.

Radiant Woman, it’s time to REMEMBER.

Immerse yourself in the sublime energies of cacao, breathwork, yoga, meditation, somatic dance & the feminine art of Qoya, all while indulging in delectable, lovingly prepared whole foods and heart-centered community.

Come away having reconnected with your inner radiance, so that you can bring this aliveness into your relationships, home & working life and continue to experience the radiance of YOU for your own joy and nourishment.

If you’re feeling that spark of joy, anticipation and excitement in your body reading this, then this retreat is for you!

It would be our absolute joy and pleasure to share this journey with you!
