Reflecting on the Day Retreat at Wareham Forest
Welcome to a reflection on our latest retreat day in the heart of Wareham Forest. As the raindrops glistened on the leaves, we embarked on a journey that promised soul nourishment, reconnection and rejuvenation after a bustling summer season.
With herbal tea in hand and hearts open wide, we embarked on this soulful adventure. The promise of a day filled with yoga, movement, meditation and heartwarming connections filled the air.
Our first step was Vinyasa Yoga, a graceful dance of breath and movement that set the tone for the day. Under the canopy of the forest, we found our centre and harmony with nature. It was a beautiful reminder of the profound connection between our inner world and the world around us.
The Soul Nourishment Workshop followed, a transformative experience that encouraged our retreaters to rise up to their higher self and call in their desires through a creative meditation and canvas painting moment. With every word, Lillie guided our retreaters to unlock the parts of themselves that had been waiting to be heard. It was a moment of clarity, a reawakening of purpose and self-worth.
Midday arrived, and with it came a feast for the senses. A plant-based lunch, thoughtfully prepared, delighted our taste buds and nourished our bodies. It was a reminder of how food can be a form of self-love, a way to nurture and cherish ourselves.
The afternoon led us to a Sound Healing Journey, an exquisite blend of stillness and melodic vibrations. The forest sauna and cold water immersion awakened our senses, a powerful experience that invigorated both body and soul.
As the day gracefully transitioned into evening, we gathered for a Fire Ceremony, a symbolic release of the past and a welcoming of new beginnings. In the flickering light, we let go of negative patterns and embraced the potential of a fresh start.
As we bid farewell to our sacred forest retreat, hearts were lighter, spirits lifted and souls recharged. The magic of a single day in nature's embrace, guided by our wisdom and care, had transformed our retreaters. We departed knowing that this retreat had offered us a day full of benefits - a reconnection with ourselves, kindred spirits met along the way and the promise of a brighter, more purposeful journey ahead.
With gratitude for a day of soul revival and the knowledge that we carry its essence within us, we look forward to what the future holds, knowing we have the strength to embrace it.
In the nurturing embrace of Happy River Retreat, we found a sanctuary, a place where conscious living thrives and where our souls were given the space to bloom.
May we carry the lessons and love of this day forward, for it was, indeed, a day to remember.

“First time going to one of Lillie’s Retreats and definitely won’t be the last. Everything was so well thought out and put together, from the yoga to the fire ceremony. I attended with my friend as a present for her birthday, we felt so relaxed and looked after the whole time; my friend even fell asleep in the sound bath. I didn’t want the day to end it was so lovely from start to finish. Lillie is so kind and really welcomes you from the start, I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much for such a magical day.” - Charlotte, Dorset 2023
