Events & Workshops
Beautiful wellbeing experiences designed for women to pause, breathe and reconnect.
Intimate wellness evenings, retreat days and workshops designed to help you slow down, reconnect and feel restored.
A space just for you
Every Pause and Breathe event is created with care — a warm, welcoming space where you can step away from the demands of everyday life and focus on yourself for a while. Whether you're new to wellness or simply looking for a moment of calm, you'll always be welcomed exactly as you are.
Monthly Wellbeing Evenings
Pause. Breathe. Reconnect.
Life can be busy, demanding and overwhelming. Our Monthly Wellbeing Evenings are your invitation to step away from the pressures of everyday life and take a little time just for you. Each month, we create a beautiful, welcoming space where women can slow down, relax and reconnect with themselves. Whether you come on your own or with a friend, you'll be warmly welcomed into a supportive community where there is no pressure — just time to pause, breathe and simply be. Every evening has its own unique theme and is carefully designed to nurture your wellbeing, helping you leave feeling calmer, lighter and more connected.
Everyone is welcome
Whether you've never tried meditation, yoga or sound healing before, or you've been on your own wellbeing journey for years, these evenings are designed to be welcoming, inclusive and suitable for everyone. Come on your own, bring a friend, or simply come as you are. You'll always receive a warm welcome.
If you're ready to take a pause from the busyness of life and enjoy an evening dedicated entirely to your wellbeing, we'd love to welcome you.

Our Retreat Days are thoughtfully designed to provide a peaceful escape from the busyness of life, giving you the time and space to slow down, breathe and simply be. Each retreat is carefully curated with a blend of relaxation, movement, mindfulness, creativity and connection, creating a truly restorative experience for your mind, body and soul.

Everyone is welcome
No experience is needed. Whether it's your first retreat or you've attended many before, you'll be gently guided throughout the day in a supportive, welcoming environment. Come exactly as you are and leave feeling refreshed, restored and inspired.
Our retreat days are held throughout the year, each with its own seasonal theme and carefully planned programme. We'd love to welcome you to your next Pause & Breathe Retreat Day.
