SHE RISES - Women's Day Retreat

The Soul Angels are hosting SHE RISES, a women's day retreat in Birmingham on Saturday 24 October, running from 10:00 to 16:00. The day is built around five distinct themes: REST, slowing down and grounding; RELEASE, through meditation, journalling and a release ritual; NOURISH, a shared lunch; RECEIVE, a healing sound bath; and RISE, future-self work, intention setting and an empowerment ritual. It's a full day, so you'll want to clear your schedule from morning until late afternoon.

There's a bit of a story behind it, too. The retreat was created by the founder of The Soul Angels to mark the tenth anniversary of her journey with the centre. After a decade of holding space for others, she decided not to throw a party, but instead to offer a day for women to rest, release and reconnect with themselves. That's where the five themes come from — they're the different stages the day moves through, from the quiet start of slowing down to the more active work of setting intentions for what comes next.

Places are intentionally limited, so it's not a huge crowd. A nourishing lunch and a take-home gift are both included in the price, so you don't need to pack a bag. It runs from 10:00 to 16:00 at The Soul Angels, 286 Baldwins Lane, Hall Green, B28 0XB, and costs £84.13 per person.
