This day retreat is your chance to slow down, and refill your cup, so you can return to your loved ones and your responsibilities with renewed energy and grace.

Why join us?

In the midst of life’s busyness, it’s easy to forget about your own needs. The physical and emotional ups and downs of perimenopause can make it even harder to find time for yourself. But giving yourself permission to pause, connect, and practice self-care isn’t just a gift to you—it’s a gift to everyone you love. When you nurture yourself, you are better able to be present, patient, and compassionate with others.

This day retreat will give you the tools to:

• Hold yourself with love and kindness as you go through change in your body and in your life.
• Navigate the emotional roller coaster and deep emotions with more ease and gather the wisdom of this rite of passage.
• Create healthy habits and make lifestyle choices that support you with symptoms of change.
• Reconnect with your body and embrace the changes with self-love.
• Learn practices to integrate into your life. 

🌷 Come as you are, and leave feeling nurtured, uplifted, and supported.🌷

Gong and sound bath

Kallia Apazoglou

Kallia is a Kundalini Yoga teacher and lifelong practitioner who uses this practice as a tool for self-mastery and self-love. She discovered the art of the Gong through the tradition of kundalini yoga and uses the vast vibrational spectrum of the Gong to trigger and accompany profound processes such as liberation of energetic nodes, integration of changes and inner transformation. Her sound baths are composed primarily of Gong sound waves and the use
of the inner gong, the voice. Her intention is to create a space of love where natural processes unfold freely.

Fascinated by human nature, Kallia first explored human behaviour and consciousness through a neuroscientific point of view. After 15 years in advanced Neuroscience studies and academic research, she opened herself through the practice of yoga to the science and knowledge of the intangible that perfectly complements the western view of scientific knowledge.

Guest expert

Sally Müller

I am a qualified pyhsiotherapist specialised in pelvic floor health. My absolute priority is to support women of ALL ages regain connection, strength and confidence with their pelvic floor through a global approach. My main objective in pelvic floor work is to share theoretical and practical knowledge to help women understand, feel, connect and protect their pelvic floors for the years ahead.
Menopause can be a particularly crucial period as a woman's body experiences multiple modifications on multiple levels but menopause is also an OPPORTUNITY to enrich and support oneself naturally for the wonderful chapters that lie ahead
