Join us at the Lakeside Arts Centre located in Newmillerdam Country Park, Wakefield, for a morning of self-care.

About Retreat Events

At ReTreat Events we believe that we all have an intuitive understanding about our self-care needs; as children we use to play in nature, move our bodies and were naturally creative. Many of us lose touch with this innate ability as the pressures of adult life take over. To us ReTreat means coming back to ourselves and remembering how to treat our bodies and minds. We will support you to think about finding some balance in life by focusing on self-care and gaining an experience of activities that might help to meet some of these needs.

During this Self-Care ReTreat we will:

  • Think about prioritising ourselves and our own self-care
  • Try out some self-care activities (card making, moving our bodies and relaxation)

Creative Activity: Christmas Card / Birthday Card Making

During this session the craft activity involves creating Christmas or Birthday Cards using watercolours and ink. Following a demo you can decide if you prefer to follow a set design or create your own. Materials provided include watercolours, ink, pens, blank cards (two person) and practice paper. Additional blank watercolour cards can be purchased on the day.

Movement: Gentle Mindful Movement & Relaxation

At the beginning of the day you will be guided though some Mindful Movement. The day will end with a guided relaxation. Please bring a yoga mat and you may wish to bring a blanket or extra layer. If being on the floor is difficult there are chairs.

What to bring

A yoga mat and blanket. You may wish to bring a pen and notebook.
