THE WINTER RETREAT:
A cosy 4-week meditation and breathwork course for the darker, fuller weeks of winter.
The Winter Retreat is a chance to step away from some of the noise and turn your attention back towards yourself. Across four weeks, we’ll explore what it means to create comfort from within, meet yourself with more compassion, protect your time and energy, and make space for what actually matters to you.
This is not about trying to become calmer, better or more productive. It is about giving yourself somewhere to stop, listen and reconnect before the end of the year gets even busier.
COURSE
INTENTION
Winter can be a strange mix. We often crave warmth, rest and connection at exactly the same time as our diaries get fuller and the demands on us increase.
The Winter Retreat creates a weekly space to switch off the noise of life and tune back into you.
We’ll use meditation, breathwork and reflection to explore how we care for ourselves through the season, where we need more support, what we might need to protect, and what we want to make more room for.
The intention is not to escape your life, but to meet it from a place that feels more considered, connected and supported.
COURSE
OVERVIEW
Each week will combine guided meditation, functional breathwork, reflection and practical tools that can support you outside the Studio too.
Across four weeks, we’ll move through four themes:
SETTLE
Coming out of doing mode, grounding into the body, slowing the breath and finding steadiness. Allowing ourself to sink into stillness for a while.
SOLACE
Connecting to comfort, rest and support, exploring what helps us feel soothed and safe.
SELF-LOVE
Self-compassion, kindness and connection. Exploring how we meet ourselves from a place of care.
SPACE
Boundaries, protecting your time and energy, creating breathing room and making space for what matters this season.

PRACTICE PACK - £22

WHAT TO EXPECT IN EACH SESSION
Each 75-minute session has been thoughtfully designed to give you time to arrive, settle, practise, reflect and integrate; without feeling rushed.
Here is an example of the typical flow of each class.
1/
Arrive & Settle
(10 minutes)
You’ll have time to gently transition into the peaceful surroundings of the studio, especially if you are coming straight from work, family life or a busy day.
You will be welcomed in and can help yourself to herbal tea or water, use the bathroom, switch off your phone, choose your seat and begin to soften into the space.
2/
Opening Introduction
(10 minutes)
Frankie will introduce the theme of the session and share researched insights around it. This will help you to deepen your knowledge around the theme and consider how it relates to you currently. Awareness is always the first step to any positive change.
There will also be space to ask questions, share anything that feels relevant, or simply listen and arrive in your own way.
3/
Grounding Breathwork
& Reflection(20 minutes)
You’ll be guided through a bespoke functional breathwork practice to help you connect with yourself, build awareness and interoception and support your nervous system into a calmer, safer and more settled state.
This will be followed by reflection prompts to ponder quietly, journal on, or discuss with the group if you feel called to. Sharing is always welcome, but never expected.
4/
Guided Meditation (25 minutes)
Each week includes a soothing guided meditation created specifically around the theme of the session and personally guided by Frankie. This practice style varies week to week; it may focus on the breath, body, a guided journey or have elements of contemplation, manifestation and affirmations.
This will support you in deepening self-awareness, listening to your needs, nurturing your growth and gaining clarity around how to move forward in a way that feels supportive, grounded & authentic to you.
5/
Integration & Closing (10 minutes)
We’ll close with time to reflect, journal or share anything that has arisen from the practice and session.
This final part of the session gives you space to gently integrate the experience before leaving the studio and returning to the rest of your day feeling calmer, clearer and more connected.
