SAT. 21st JUNE — RADIANCE — WOMEN'S DAY RETREAT

What is Radiance about?

Radiance is a day retreat inviting you to reconnect with the light within — the truest essence of your being. Aligned with the Summer Solstice and the nurturing energies of Cancer season, we gather at a threshold of expansion and devotion — where life asks us to bloom fully, and tenderly.

This is a space to remember your innate radiance:
To witness your beauty reflected in others.
To soften into your presence.
To let yourself be seen — and celebrated.

Through guided practices, embodied movement, sacred ritual, and deep witnessing, we’ll explore how we tend our inner flame. How we shape our own energy, how we hold ourselves and each other, and how we let the life force move through us with reverence and joy.

What will we be doing for 6.5 hours?

Our day together begins in stillness — with an opening meditation and silent mandala-making practice — before we gather in circle to land in the space, share our intentions, and be witnessed.

We’ll then invite in the sacred plants of Cacao and Rose, followed by a guided meditation to open the Heart. From here, we’ll move into a Himalayan breathwork and kriya journey to awaken inner energy and clear stagnant emotion.

Our bodies will then be invited into an embodied Radiance journey — a freeform movement practice designed to reconnect you to your innate vitality — before resting into a deeply grounding integration space with hands-on Reiki touch.

A light, nourishing vegetarian lunch will be served and is included in your ticket.

In the afternoon, we’ll gather for a Radiance Ceremony — a layered experience of:

• Partner witnessing practices to be seen and held in your light

• An anointing with sacred oils

• Gentle mantra or vocal activation to awaken radiant expression

To close, we’ll drop into a sound healing journey to soften, integrate, and receive, followed by one final sharing circle to anchor the experience — and, of course, plenty of hugs.

About our plant allies -
Cacao has many health benefits, but is especially known for its connection to the Heart — where our radiance emanates from.
Rose holds many gifts, her soft yet palpable medicine is a powerful Heart ally, just like Cacao.

Please note: Cacao isn’t suitable if you are allergic chocolate, caffeine sensitive or on SSRI’s. If this is you, know you can still participate with Rose tea only.

Is this event women only?
Yes, this space is intentionally held with women in mind, and kept intimate to facilitate deep journeying. If you are pregnant and considering coming, please get in touch with me to discuss the day in a little more detail.

Where/when is this happening?
It’s from 10:30am-5pm on Saturday 21st June in my beautiful home in Battersea, very near Clapham Junction station in SW11. Exact address details will be e-mailed the day before the event. Please get in touch if you need more information before then @yiflow or nina@yiflow.co.uk

What should I wear? Should I bring anything?
Wear something comfortable to move and be still in. I recommend wearing layers for better temperature control (it can get very hot in my home). Bring a notebook with you and a pen, a bottle of water, and anything small you may want to place at the altar to charge (a crystal or a piece of jewellery for instance). You might want to bring a large scarf or blanket to get cozy for the sound healing.

A yoga mat and meditation cushion will be provided, but feel free to bring anything else you might want to be even more comfortable.

Do I need to know anything prior to joining?
Cacao isn’t suitable if you are allergic chocolate, caffeine sensitive or on SSRI’s.

This is a really loving and respectful space for women, created for you to pause, receive healing and reconnect to yourself. A yoga mat and a meditation cushion will be provided for you, but feel free to bring anything else you may want to feel comfortable.

A few kind words about previous day retreats:

“Nina is a calm, beautiful soul who makes you feel safe and at home. She’s the perfect guide to put your trust in for healing and time spent with her (whether it be for reiki, sound, meditation) is an investment for the self.”

“Nina’s London day retreat fed my soul. A place to receive, be and be held by nurturing, real and authentic energy. I discovered what was stuck that was depleting me because I was given the time to just be - and to me that is the greatest gift in the world.”
—

“Wow, just wow. From start to finish the day as everything I could have dreamed of and more for what I needed - a safe, loving, nurturing space of warmth, peace and release.”
—

“Thank you so much for the love and wisdom shared today, I really really needed it!”

”Nina's beautiful day retreat was truly a balm for the soul. For one day I could fully relax and simply 'be' in this space with nothing to prove, push or strive for. The practices and rituals she shared with us helped me gently reconnect with the soft, bright, core essence of myself. It is very special to experience this over a day and I felt so nourished, peaceful and deeply rested afterwards. She creates a beautiful space where it's safe to be yourself and the benefits of the retreat last beyond the day, as the practices she shares can be part of your daily self-care rituals. A week has passed since our retreat and I have had such restful sleep, clarity of mind and more space for joy and laughter in my daily life. I am really grateful for Nina for creating this safe, beautiful space where you can simply be at your own pace and I encourage any woman who is wishing to connect with true essence to experience this gift! Thank you Nina!”
