Rest. Learn. Share. Connect.
The Invitation
Motherhood is relentless. Between the mental load, identity shifts, and invisible labour, the weight adds up. You spend your life deciding what everyone else eats, wears, and does. For 48 hours, let us decide for you.
This two-night winter escape is designed exclusively for a small, intimate group of 12 mothers. It is the science of motherhood meeting the art of rest. A place where your nervous system can finally exhale.
When: Friday 19 June - Sunday 21 June 2026
Where: The beautiful estate Gabion Hill in Glenlyon
The Experience
We weave together two equally important threads: deeply restorative practices to soften the body and reflective workshops to make sense of the inner experience of motherhood. (Every activity is optional)
Deep Rest: Meditation, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, and guided nature walks.
Expert Learning: Evidence-based "Mothermind" workshops that provide the language to explain your experience.
Total Nourishment: Delicious vegetarian meals provided by our own Private Chef
Genuine Connection: Shared reflections, stories, and solidarity with other mothers
Your Facilitators
This retreat is a collaboration created by mothers, for mothers.

Emily Gloyns (MEMM Collective): Emily leads the retreat’s restorative practices, guiding nervous system regulation and deep rest through Yoga Nidra, mindfulness meditation and restorative yoga.
