MUMS OF CHILDREN WITH SEN

You are invited to
A Weekend of Calm + Friendship + Inspiration

The Relaxation Retreat

8th and 9th June 2019
Hitchin Priory, Hertfordshire

ARE YOU FEELING STRESSED AND EXHAUSTED?
It's vital that you look after yourself.
If you're frazzled then you're not able to support or help your child effectively.  
JOIN US AT THE RELAXATION RETREAT
We are offering you a whole weekend to relax, refocus, have fun and meet like-minded mums.
No judgement. No guilt. No blame.

Get back a sense of who you are.
Learn how to be the best mum you can be.
JUST IMAGINE...A WHOLE WEEKEND DEVOTED TO YOU

Relax in the luxurious grounds of Hitchin Priory.
Experience calming and therapeutic activities.
Share experiences with other mums who understand.
Eat, drink and laugh.
Listen to hand-picked expert advice.
Discover how you can help your child flourish and thrive.
Beautiful grounds to explore, relax and chill.
Plenty of space to rest, eat scrummy food and individual en-suite bedrooms for a peaceful night sleep.
SO, WHAT DO WE HAVE PLANNED FOR YOU?
Fun
Your life is so full-on with your child's needs, you've forgotten how to enjoy yourself and have fun.
Together we will laugh, we will cry and may make lasting friendships.

Learning
Together we will discover how to overcome your child's challenges. We will put in place a real Action Plan to help create a calmer family that could transform your life.
Mind Set
We have been dealt a tough blow. But life doesn't need to be so negative. If we change our outlook and see the positives, we can feel amazing.
AND THAT'S NOT ALL...
Get creative
A practical workshop with Art Shed Arts where you will experience the calming and relaxing effect of being arty and creative.
Relax
Experience the unique sensation of a Gong Bath with Babacool
A Gong Bath is a lot like a deep, relaxing massage using sound. It’s called a Gong Bath because you’ll be bathed in sound from the Gongs. There is no water involved and no clothes are removed! You are simply asked to come along, lie down, get comfortable and let the sound waves wash over you.

Hand massage
Who doesn't like to be pampered? Expert therapists to give you some a relaxing massage to make you feel amazing.
Power of Music
A fun session run by the incredible group Chiltern Music Therapy. A fabulous opportunity to lift your spirits and bring back some joy.
Walk and Talk
We will have an early morning stroll through the beautiful grounds of Hitchin Priory. 
A chance to feel at peace.

Gentle exercise
We know exercising releases feel-good hormones, so we will have a very gentle stretching session with a trained teacher.
Hair Makeover
We have a trained hair stylist who will come and curl your hair ready for our evening entertainment.
Movie Night
Unwind with a glass of wine, some popcorn and a good movie.
ACTION PLAN
You will work on a specific Action Plan for you and your family.
You will leave with a clear guide how to make changes so that your life is calmer, happier with more joy.
