The Slow Burn Retreat

An intentional pause to release, restore, and return to yourself

This is your permission to slow down and let the outside world fall away.

Through restorative movement, guided meditation, insightful workshops, and spa rituals that soften every edge, this is your invitation to restore on every level—mind, body, heart and spirit.

Let go of the pressure to do or perform. Here, rest isn’t something you earn—it’s something you remember.

Recharge unapologetically in the peaceful forest surroundings of Nectar Retreat Centre, held by a kind and supportive community.

Let yourself be nourished. Leave with tools, insights, and a renewed sense of clarity that will stay with you long after you return home.

Meet Your Guide, Bryony.

I’ve had the joy of leading nine Slow Burn retreats at Nectar over the past four years—and it truly is a magical place.

Holding space for guests to slow down, feel supported, and reconnect with themselves is my greatest honour. From that grounded place, I’ve witnessed transformation, healing, and so much joy. That’s the power of retreat—and I feel so lucky to do this work.

I’m a certified Integrative Wellness Coach and Yoga Teacher, with specialty training in yin yoga and yoga nidra. My approach is gentle, intuitive, and rooted in the belief that when we create space for rest, so much more becomes possible.
