THE PAUSE
£127
A day to step away from the noise and return to yourself.
Through movement, breath, cacao, authentic connection, Reiki, Yin and sound, we’ll create space to step out of the noise, drop into the body and reconnect with something deeper within.
Winter is our time to slow down, listen a little deeper and remember the part of you that can so easily get lost in the doing.
Come exactly as you are.
Leave feeling a little lighter.
ESSENCE
The Pause is an invitation to step out of the pace of everyday life and into a different rhythm.
A day to come back to the body. To breathe a little deeper. To be witnessed, to connect honestly, to move, to soften and to listen. Through cacao, somatic movement, breath, meditation, Yin, Reiki, sound and authentic relating, we’ll move between moments of aliveness, connection, stillness and deep rest.
There’s nothing to achieve here. No version of yourself you need to become.
Just a space to put down the noise for a while, meet yourself where you are, and see what becomes possible when you give yourself permission to truly pause.
Come exactly as you are.

MEET YOUR HOSTS…
Francesca Secolonovo
I’ve always been most curious in the healing we can experince simply by allowing ourselves to slow down. Not trying to rush anything, be anywhere or to solve anything. Yet - just being.
Journeying with presence. Exploring whats alive within us right now - the joy, the sadness, the uncertainty. Liberating ourselves to feel and our ability to do so reminds us the gift it is to be alive.
Perhaps the pause isn’t something we need to fill, but something we need to honour.
To simply be here. Together.
Alex Faraday
I create safe, sacred spaces for women to be fully, unapologetically themselves - through cacao, retreats & women’s circles.
For the women who are ready to fully know themselves, embrace their weird and remember that all the wisdom they need comes from within.
I'm not a master, a teacher, or someone who is here to instruct you or "heal" you. I'm here to sit alongside you, guide you, and be a part of your journey.
