MOTHER AND TEEN RETREAT
Thursday 8th April to Sunday 11th April 2021
a holiday with a twist
The high school years can be a confusing and complicated time for teenage girls (and just as confusing and complicated for their Mummas), so we wanted to create a space where we could all be together, as one. There are plenty of places that you could go away together, but not many like this. A place where you can be nourished with great food, enjoy yoga and meditation practices designed to connect you with yourselves and each other, and receive knowledge and wisdom to help make these years easier to navigate; all while having our own private pool and spa in the middle of the National Park!
will you join us?
the long weekend
It is school holiday time so we decided to stretch the retreat out and hold it over three nights.. The location we chose is nestled in the Yengo National Park in the Central Coast. An idyllic setting surrounded by bushland. Each room is private and has its own private bathroom so there will be lots of privacy whenever you feel you want it.
We will also be nourished with great food by wholefood chef David Lisken. We don’t want to brag but notable people who David has cooked for include prime ministers and the swearing chef, Gordon Ramsay! He is pretty special!
made with teens in mind
We are teaming up with Kathy of Kinkou Yoga for this one. Kathy has been teaching yoga, mindfulness and other wellness programs to teens in the Illawarra area for more than six years. She is passionate about empowering kids and teens to be more connected to themselves and to feel more confident about who they are.
Kathy and Kiki will be sharing a number of workshops during the retreat to cover topics relevant to teens and their mothers, including Kathy’s favourite topic to teach – how the brain changes during adolescence. We love to share this kind of knowledge to alleviate shame for teens around what they are experiencing as well as to help parents support their beloved teen.
circles
We will have ample opportunities to come together as a group to share, bond and learn practical, evidence based techniques to navigate the teenage years with more ease, compassion and balance. Everything is optional but we highly recommend joining – this is where the real magic happens!
time to reset
The property is a spacious lodge with plenty of comfy areas to relax as well as a private pool and spa to use whenever we wish! Lots of time for reading and being alone as well as coming together to chat and enjoy each other’s company.
yoga
We will be sharing a number of yoga, meditation and relaxation classes with you to help you to unwind, connect and be more embodied. These classes are where we put all of that great knowledge into practice. We bring the teachings to life and provide you with techniques to add to your metaphoric toolbox and take home with you.
