Why Join The Retreat?
The focus of this retreat is Women’s health and wellbeing including hormone health.
Spend 4 days and 3 nights escaping from everyday life, staying in Luxury accommodation, you’ll have every need taken care of with delicious healthy meals cooked for you, a wonderful programme designed particularly for women, with Yoga, Nutrition workshops, InfaRed Saunas, Deep Rest and Meditation sessions
We look at what might be going on with our bodies at this time of life, share experiences and more importantly strategies on how to manage future or current symptoms. We look at the beneficial foods and nutrients and share strategies that have worked including supplements and other wellness techniques such as breath and relaxation techniques that can help with symptoms such as anxiety, stress, insomnia and more.
The retreat will be Covid assessed and secured.
As well as having a wonderfully relaxing and rejeuvenating programme the retreat will also be educational and empowering. It will help us demystify our hormones, openly address the difficulties that can arise for women as we age; when we understand what is going on with our body and mind and what we can do to change it. This retreat will provide you with the knowledge and the tools to manage your symptoms more effectively and move through the changes with more grace and ease.
At our last retreat, we explored the symptoms as a group, shared experiences and tips and went home armed with new information. The guests enjoyed the informal nature of the workshops and felt better informed in terms of what was happening with their bodies. We explored topics most important to the health of women and plan similar workshops exploring hormones, fasting, weight management and much more next time.
Expect a powerful combination of classes and workshops such as daily yoga, relaxation sessions, country walks, Sound Baths, meditation, and nutritional information, alongside tasty and healthy meals to equip you with the tools you need to manage hormonal changes.
All the classes are designed to directly benefit hormones, educate us around hormones or discuss managing symptoms. What ever stage or age you are at, you will benefit hugely, not only from deep relaxation, the yoga and meditation but also from the information you take home with you.
ABOUT THE YOGA PRACTICE:
De-stressing is critical to balancing the hormones that affect our moods, and our energy levels and sleep patterns and the meditative nature of yoga is a powerful tool in calming our psychological state. Our stress (adrenal) glands come under enormous pressure as we age and due to the stressful nature of many of our lives and dysfunction in this area is a strong contributing factor to a number of symptoms ranging from energy issues to anxiety. Yoga can help us manage these symptoms and help us regulate our energy and emotions. Yoga can help us slow down ageing!
Overall, yoga provides a myriad of benefits when it comes to managing hormones and energy levels
You don’t need to have had any previous yoga or meditation experience to benefit from the programme.

ABOUT THE FOOD and NUTRITION
👨🍳
What we eat and drink really is crucial for happy hormones. Our hormones play a part in the health of our hair, skin, libido, weight, muscle tone, and much more besides! As fluctuations happen, it’s important to make sure our nutrient intake is optimal and that we are mindful of the less favourable lifestyle choices we may make.
We are delighted to have Kirstan Horn as our retreat chef!
Kirstan acquired his passion for food from his early travels through South East Asia, Australia & India. He honed his skills in the restaurants of London working with such chefs as Peter Gordon at the Sugar Club and Adrián Benobas at 1st Floor. He is currently head of product development at The Chapel & Swan Smokery who supply some of the countries top eateries & hotels. Kirstan does regular pop up events in Cambridge with chef Maoz Alonim as well as catering for retreats where he specialises in making healthy but delicious vegetarian dishes and will be working closely with Charlotte to provide a delicious, healthy and nourishing menu!

YOUR HOSTS
Charlotte Schilcher, Registered Nutritional Therapist
After 20 years of having a bit too much fun in the music industry, I decided to retrain in Nutritional Therapy. Throughout my 20s and 30s, I had experienced a number of health challenges. These ranged from mental health issues, hormonal symptoms, skin disturbances and perimenopausal symptoms starting in my early 40s.
They deeply affected my quality of life and conventional medicine offered limited solutions. I began to approach these issues holistically and after much research, I was able to bring my body and mind into balance through changes in my diet and lifestyle choices. This was extremely empowering. I felt in control of my health and that is a good feeling. Experiencing the benefits diet and exercise first hand left me compelled to share this knowledge and help others.
I’m really looking forward to helping you manage your hormones. I will give you the information and tools you need to maintain good health and happiness in your daily life.
