Brave Hearts

A one-day retreat to honour the sacred bond between mother and son

Saturday 7th June | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

The Barn Temple| For boys aged 9–12 and their mothers

In today’s fast-moving world — a world of screens, schedules, and silent distance — something precious is being forgotten.

The quiet beauty of one-to-one time.

The sacredness of play.

The healing power of presence.

So many of us, as mothers, long for more time with our children that isn’t about the rush from one task to the next.

We long for space to simply be — to hold hands, to share laughter, to create something magical together.

And while offerings for mothers and daughters have begun to re-emerge, there are still so few spaces where mothers and sons are invited to come together in this way.

Brave Hearts is an invitation into that space.

Why this retreat matters

This day is a response to a deep, often unspoken need — the call to rebuild connection in a disconnected world.

It is a gentle rebellion against the constant hum of notifications and the pressure to perform.

It is a remembering.

That you matter to each other.

That connection is still possible.

That joy, presence, and bonding can be intentionally nurtured — even in a single day.

This is not just a retreat — it’s a stepping stone.

A moment in time where the two of you get to step out of the noise and into something sacred and real.

What the day will include:

•A joyful partner yoga & breathwork session to move and laugh together

•A peaceful walk to the woods, where we’ll gather natural materials for playful, creative nature crafts

•A chance to help tend the fire circle and connect with ancient, grounding rituals

•A shared feast-style lunch with nourishing, child-friendly food

•Moments of rest, free play, and heartfelt presence

•A tender closing circle to honour your bond

There will also be space for pairs to step away quietly, to walk or sit together if that’s what your hearts need. This day is about connection — not performance.
