Self-Love
In February, women were invited to soften the inner critic, nurture their needs and reconnect with their worth.
Reconnect & Rise · November 2026
Letting Go
Women’s Retreat
Create space to breathe, soften and reconnect with the woman beneath the busyness, responsibility and noise.
28–29 November 2026 10am–4pm Queen’s Park, London
You don’t have to hold it all together here.
A weekend to release, restore
and come home to yourself.
Perhaps you’ve been carrying too much for too long. You’re functioning, caring and getting on with life—but somewhere along the way, you have become disconnected from your own needs, intuition or sense of self.
This intimate retreat offers a safe, nurturing pause. Through breath, movement, energy work, journaling and transformational hypnosis, you’ll be supported to let go of what no longer serves you and make room for what wants to emerge next.
Is this retreat for you?
You may be ready
to let go if…
You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly formed intention. Sometimes the first step is simply recognising that something within you is asking for space, softness and change.
You’ve been holding everything together for everyone else and rarely pause to ask what you need.
You feel burnt out, emotionally heavy or overwhelmed, even if life looks fine from the outside.
You’re moving through a life transition—menopause or midlife, grief, a relationship change, children growing up, a career shift or a changing sense of identity.
You notice yourself caught in overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing or the need to stay in control.
You’re carrying an old story, expectation, resentment or pattern that no longer reflects the woman you are becoming.
Nothing is dramatically wrong, but you feel disconnected from your joy, intuition or sense of purpose and long to feel more like yourself again.
Our 2026 retreat journey
Self-Love.
Expansion.
Letting Go.
Each Reconnect & Rise retreat is a complete experience in itself, while together this year’s themes tell a deeper story.
Expansion
In June, we explored what becomes possible when women feel safe to take up space, trust themselves and move beyond old limitations.
Letting Go
In November, we complete the year by releasing what feels heavy or outdated—creating space for greater freedom, clarity and renewal.
You do not need to have attended either previous retreat. Letting Go is a beautiful place to begin, whether you join us for one day or the full weekend.
A glimpse inside
Real moments from

A few gentle answers
Before you book.
Is this retreat right for me?
This retreat is for women who feel ready to pause, release what has been weighing them down and reconnect with themselves. You don’t need to be going through a crisis—or know exactly what you need to let go of. If you’re longing to feel lighter, calmer and more connected to your own needs and inner wisdom, you are very welcome here.
Where is the retreat held?
The retreat is held at Re:Connect Studio, 260 Kilburn Lane, London W10 4BA—a calm, welcoming space in Queen’s Park.
What is the cancellation policy?
Retreat tickets are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, you are welcome to transfer your place to another woman; please contact Soraya with the new guest’s details.
Do I need experience with hypnosis or energy work?
Not at all. Every practice is gently guided and suitable for beginners. You remain aware and in control throughout hypnosis.
Can I attend for just one day?
Yes. Each day is a complete experience in itself, while the full weekend offers the deepest journey from release into restoration.
What should I bring?
Comfortable layers, a water bottle and anything you need to feel cosy. We’ll provide reflection materials, refreshments and food.
Can dietary requirements be accommodated?
