A little glimpse into **Nurture Retreat** 🌿🤍

A half day retreat to step away from the busyness, soften into your body and create space to simply receive.

Through movement, meditation, nourishing practices and deep rest, we’ll slow down and reconnect with ourselves.

Come as you are, and leave feeling a little more grounded and nurtured.

✨ **30th August | 11am–4pm**
📍 **The Monastery, Geelong**

A beautiful day of nourishment, connection & coming home to yourself.

Change doesn’t always arrive gracefully.

Sometimes it feels clunky, unfamiliar, even uncomfortable because we’re learning a rhythm our system doesn’t know yet.

The old way no longer fits, but the new way hasn’t quite become home yet.

Maybe that space isn’t something to rush through.

Maybe it’s where discernment is born.

Where we learn what is ours to carry forward, what we’re ready to release, and who we are when the familiar structures around us begin to shift.

I wonder if the deeper practice is learning to become our own inner home through the churn.

To adjust without abandoning ourselves.
To soften without losing ourselves.
To trust that awkwardness doesn’t always mean something is wrong.

Sometimes it simply means something new is finding its rhythm.

And perhaps that is where a stronger sense of self begins. 🤍

Life feels like it’s moving in unexpected ways at the moment. What once felt familiar and steady no longer does, and the next chapter seems to be calling me forward in ways I couldn’t have anticipated.

Before looking ahead, it didn’t feel right to move into what’s next without first honouring everything that’s brought me here.

Each yoga class, retreat, workshop, conversation after practice, hug, smile and moment shared has become part of this chapter, and I’m so deeply grateful for it all.

To everyone whose path has crossed with mine over the years, thankyou. Thank you for trusting me, for allowing me to be part of your journey, and for welcoming me into yours. It’s been such a privilege to witness your growth, share in your stories and walk alongside so many beautiful people.

As with all seasons, life keeps moving, and so do we. While there’s always a little sadness in closing one chapter, there’s also something really beautiful about making space for what’s next.

I’m feeling incredibly grateful for everything that’s brought me here and genuinely excited for what’s unfolding.

If we’ve ever shared a class, a retreat, a workshop or even just a conversation, thankyou. You’ve shaped my journey more than you probably realise, and I truly hope our paths continue to cross somewhere along the way.

With so much love and gratitude,

Monique 🤍

Radical acts of self love can sometimes mean re orientating our awareness back to prioritising ourselves even when it feels really hard ❤️ showing up for ourselves in a way that our future self would be so happy for. Sometimes the challenge is the place we build that inner resilience that we get to appreciate in the future.

Sometimes life creates unexpected openings.

Due to a last-minute change, we’ve released our final two accommodation options for **Nurture | 7–9 August** at a special one-time rate.

If you’ve been quietly feeling called to join us, perhaps this is your invitation.

Three days of deep rest, gentle practices, nourishing food, beautiful surrounds and space to simply exhale.

When these final spaces are filled, we’ll be closing the retreat.

Send me a message if you’d like the details. 🤍

As I come to the end of my psychotherapy studies, one theme continues to stand out: the difference between our **real self** and the **constructed self**.

How much of your life is lived from who you truly are, and how much is shaped by who you’ve learnt you needed to be?

Authentic presence asks us to slow down, to become radically honest with ourselves, and to build the capacity to stay with discomfort rather than abandon ourselves to meet the expectations of others.

I truly believe the depth of our relationships with others will never exceed the depth of the relationship we have with ourselves.

Perhaps authenticity isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about remembering who you’ve been underneath it all. 🤍
