Retreat For A Day - A Spring Reset for Busy Women - Melbourne
Description
Retreat for a Day
A Summer Reset for Busy Women
A thoughtfully curated day to step out of the noise, reconnect with yourself, nature and other incredible women, and return home feeling recharged, inspired and deeply nourished.
There are seasons in life when we simply keep going.
We meet deadlines, care for the people we love, honour our commitments and move from one task to the next, rarely giving ourselves the opportunity to pause.
Retreat for a Day offers something many women rarely give themselves.
A day away of self care. A change of environment. Time for you.
An opportunity to park life's competing priorities, calm the mind and take a moment to remember what sparks joy.
Set amongst the natural beauty of Balwyn Community Centre, you'll be welcomed into a beautiful experience designed to nourish you and inspire you.
Throughout the day you'll enjoy aha moments, genuine connection with a wonderful group of women, and a safe and welcoming environment created with warmth, care and pure intention.
This is about giving yourself the opportunity to slow down, be taken care of and return home with renewed energy for the Summer season ahead.

Why This Day Matters
When we as women take time for ourselves we have more to give.
When we honour our own needs it has a positive ripple effect.
When we do self care, we enhance our longevity and sense of wellbeing.
The benefits of investing in ourselves far outweigh the soldiering on.
An opportunity to recalibrate, clear your head and calm your nervous system.
Dedicated time to reflect, release what no longer serves you, and remember what sparks joy for you.
The opportunity to experience all of this in a beautiful natural setting, guided by Sashua.

A note from Sashua
I believe every woman deserves the opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with herself.
Sometimes what makes the greatest difference isn't doing more.
It's allowing yourself the gift of a different environment, meaningful conversations, and the chance to simply be.
My hope is that you'll leave feeling nourished, inspired and gently reminded of the woman you've always been.
I'd love you to join us for what promises to be a truly special day.

The Soulful Women’s Soar Retreat with Sashua Benay was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of Sashua’s wisdom and nurturing guidance with the breathtaking setting created the perfect environment for transformation. Over four days I felt supported, inspired, and deeply reconnected to myself. I left feeling lighter, more aligned, and empowered to step forward with confidence. If you’re seeking a retreat that blends soulful growth with a truly magical location, this is it!

What a retreat!!! Belly laugh we did, fun we had, and tears, many tears, in joy and the hard. The best part is taking the next step into my growth journey and stepping into the possibilities. Sashua is the mother of guidance, along with her universal connection.
