UNLEASH YOUR TRANSFORMATION
Surrender to You
- Womens Retreat -
February 2027
Where letting go is the boldest move you’ll make.
Are you ready to make letting go the boldest move you'll ever make?
This retreat is for you if:
You’re a high-achieving woman who has spent years being strong for everyone else – and you’re ready to finally be honest with yourself.
You’re seeking a space to exhale, reconnect and rediscover who you are beneath the roles you play.
You believe that true power doesn’t come from pushing harder – it comes from knowing yourself deeply.
You’re ready to release the masks, the perfectionism and the performance – and step into radical self-acceptance.
"I'm so proud of 2025 me who booked this nourishing retreat. She must have known that this is the space and circle of women I needed"
Sohini Petrie, Retreater 2026
During this retreat, you will:
Reconnect with the woman beneath the roles, responsibilities and expectations.
Release the limiting beliefs and self-imposed pressures that have been holding you back.
Discover what radical self-acceptance looks and feels like in practice – not just in theory.
Move your body, free your mind and rediscover your joy.
Leave with clear intentions – not a to-do list, but a way of being – for the year ahead.
Connect deeply with a community of inspiring, like-minded women.
“A nourishing and uplifting weekend connecting and reconnecting with all of you lovely ladies. Thank you to Andrea Watts, Jackee Holder and Leyla Okhai for amazing sessions, to Sandy for being an amazing backbone to it all and the wonderful Jenny Garrett for making it happen."”
Debbie Anderson, Retreater 2026

9:30am Arrival & Registration
Settle in over coffee, collect your workbook and goody bag, and begin to decompress. This is where the surrender starts – with a warm welcome and no agenda yet. -
10:00am Opening Circle – with Jenny Garrett OBE
We begin together. Jenny introduces the theme and invites each woman to name what she’s carrying in – and what she’s ready to put down. A powerful, honest start. -
11:15am Session with Jackee Holder
An immersive session exploring inner and outer nature – using writing, reflection and creative prompts to reconnect with what’s real. Jackee creates space to begin the gentle, powerful process of loosening the masks we wear. -
1:00pm Lunch

5:30pm Free Time / Spa

12:30pm Lunch
-
1:30pm Surrender Intentions – with Jenny Garrett OBE
Not goals. Not action plans. Intentions – the things you’re choosing to stop fighting, stop hiding, stop waiting for permission to do. You’ll leave with something concrete but spacious. -
3:00pm Closing Circle & What Next
Each woman names one thing she is surrendering – and one thing she is reclaiming. Witnessed by the whole group. Details of the ongoing Happenista community shared. -
3:30pm Departure
“I feel so blessed and privileged to facilitate a session for you all, and participate as a retreater. Thank you for creating this space where we can show up and be ourselves in the company of other incredible women, to nurture and support each other. Every year the retreat offers more.”
What you’ll take home:
Time out of the noise to truly hear yourself again.
A set of personal intentions for the year ahead – honouring your whole self, not just your professional self.
A network of like-minded, supportive women who get it.
A renewed connection with your most authentic, empowered self.
The embodied experience of what it feels like to stop performing and simply be.
"The retreat helped me to truly focus on my goals in a safe and comfortable environment."
