Happy Autumn Equinox 🍂

Today marks the point where day and night are equal, and from here the evenings gradually get darker.

I always find this time of year interesting. Part of me wants to hold onto the longer, brighter days...... but I’m also feeling the pull to slow down and cocoon inwards!

Nature reminds us that we can’t keep going at the same pace all year round.

So maybe the Autumn Equinox is a good time to check in with ourselves.

What feels out of balance?
What are we ready to let go of?
And where would it be good to create more space for rest?

Something I’m thinking about a lot as we head into our Autumn Equinox retreat this weekend.

Spent this weekend in nature, attuning to the energy of the season. 🍂

Next weekend is our Autumn Equinox Journey Retreat, and this is where the planning begins for me.

Out in nature, connecting with the land, slowing down and listening. This is where the inspiration comes.

The flow is beginning to emerge… 💫

REST • RELEASE • RECLAIM • EMBODY • ALIGN

A deeply feminine journey as we honour the Autumn Equinox and begin to let go into the season ahead. 🍂

When did you last properly check in with yourself?

At our last Journey Day Retreat, I asked the women to do exactly that as they arrived.

Their words...

Busy minded. Stressed. Anxious. Heavy. Tangled. Tense. Stiff. Holding tightness. Carrying pain.

Words that reflect what so many women are carrying every day.

At the end of the retreat, we checked in again.

This time...

Freer. Lighter. Grounded. Peaceful. Calm. Reset. Untangled. Anchored. Trusting. Kinder towards myself. Ready to say no.

The contrast says so much!

Not because one day changes everything.

But because when we slow down, listen to our bodies and create some space for ourselves, something can begin to shift.

Sometimes we simply need time to breathe, to be heard and to reconnect with ourselves.

Perhaps today is a good day to find five minutes just for yourself.

Whatever that looks like for you.

Sometimes a small pause can make more difference than we realise.

A few days in Donegal.

Time to slow down. Beautiful places to explore. No rushing. No endless to do list.

Our 2027 retreat dates are now live.

Back to routine... but don't forget about you!

September has a way of getting busy very quickly.

Routines return, diaries fill and before long, our own wellbeing can start to slip down the list.

And that's often when we need those small moments for ourselves the most.

I have created a free September Reset Checklist with simple, practical ways to look after your energy and wellbeing as we move into the autumn.

Inside you will find reminders to:

• Make time for movement
• Support your nervous system
• Create space to breathe
• Set intentions for the season ahead
• Make your own wellbeing part of the plan

You don't need hours.

Small, regular changes can make a real difference.

Tonight in Women’s Circle at Studio Be Glenavy, we explored finding alignment as we move towards the Autumn Equinox 🍂

We journalled on what we’re ready to let go of… and what we need more of in our lives to create a greater sense of balance.

Interestingly, one thing came through for every woman in the circle: stronger boundaries.

Boundaries that protect our energy, honour what we need and create space for what truly matters.

A beautiful evening of reflection, connection and coming back into balance💫

Incredible scenery. Great company. And somewhere special to come back to at the end of the day. 🚲

Donegal is made for cycling adventures!

From quiet country roads to rugged coastal routes and Wild Atlantic views, there is so much to explore.

At Sandhill House, your cycling club can have the house exclusively to yourselves, with ensuite accommodation, great food and plenty of space to relax together.

And after a day on the bike?

Recover in the hot tub, sauna and cold pod, with the option to add Pilates or yoga sessions for strength, mobility and conditioning.

Cycle. Explore. Recover. Eat well. Relax. Repeat.

If your cycling club is planning its next group getaway, we would love to welcome you to Donegal.
