Healthy Hormones
Bask is delighted to be creating our first Healthy Hormones 3-day luxury wellness retreat in the historic town of Trentham (near Daylesford), from Thursday 20th to Sunday 23rd July 2023.
Known for its scenic beauty, natural mineral springs and quaint villages with boutiques and cafes, this region is the perfect spot for a weekend away!
We will be staying in two adjoining houses whose character and charm are so typical of the area and are set amongst lush private gardens, forming our own private sanctuary for the duration of the retreat. As well as daily restorative yoga and meditation classes in the onsite yoga studio (with a focus on rest, relaxation and reconnecting to yourself) there are a number of secluded spots both in the breathtaking gardens or snuggled in one of the many fire-lit living areas where you can steal away to delve into your favourite book or take a quiet moment for yourself.
For those keen to be a bit more active, there will be Qi Gung classes and daily guided walks in the nearby national park as well as plenty of free time to explore the sites in nearby villages or hike some of the local trails.
On the Saturday, we are lucky enough to have nutritionist, Elly McLean hosting an afternoon of workshops with a focus on Healthy Hormones. With over 15 years’ experience in well-being and clinical nutrition, Elly is a specialist in real food, metabolic health and female hormone balance so will tailor our workshops accordingly. Elly is exceptional and we can guarantee you will walk away armed with some very valuable knowledge and a roadmap of how best to explore any hormonal issues you are faced with! This is a session not to be missed!
We also have a wholefood chef onsite with us all weekend who will be preparing delicious meals as well as healthy treats. Combined with her knowledge of nutrition, food energetics and passion for health Ainslee’s heartfelt approach means she creates tantalising menus that fuel the body, nurture the spirit and can be tailored to suit diverse nutritional needs and preferences.
As a special add on, Ainslee will run a cooking demonstration, showing how to make her popular RawSmith slices. We are definitely in for a treat!
For those that are feeling creative, we have also included an in-house pottery session with local potter Minna Graham. Minna will spend the afternoon with us and in this 2-hour session you will learn useful hand forming and decorating techniques (that you can replicate at home) as you create a few special pieces to remember the weekend by.
No retreat is quite complete without some dedicated ‘pamper time’ so as part of the Bask experience we have included a 60 minute relaxation massage held onsite so you don’t have to venture far!
After the last few stressful years, it is our intention that this retreat will allow you to step away from your busy lives (and all the obligations that that brings), take time for yourself, rest, breathe and reconnect with yourself … all the while treating yourself to exceptional food and the company of like-minded people!
Take the opportunity to have a weekend away on your own … or come along with a friend! We look forward to welcoming you!
