What if you could press pause — and feel it all again?
This half-day retreat is a call to come back to your body, to the subtle wisdom of your senses, and to the present moment. Together, we’ll slow down and shift from thinking to feeling. No rushing. No performance. Just the quiet miracle of being fully here. This is a space for stillness, softness, and real presence. An invitation to return to yourself — one breath, one moment, one sense at a time.
This retreat is about slowing down, honouring your needs, and experiencing life with fresh presence. Everything is an invitation. There are no expectations. You are free to participate in the way that feels right for you.
You’ll be guided through:
-
Not at all. The sauna and cold shower are completely optional. If you’d prefer not to take part, you’re very welcome to spend that time resting, journaling, or enjoying the surrounding nature.
To make the retreat more accessible, I also offer a reduced rate for those who choose not to use the sauna. The rest of the experience remains the same — calm, nourishing, and fully held.
-
At Return To Your Senses Retreat, I believe in nourishing body and mind with wholesome, plant-based foods. I prioritise the holistic well-being of my participants. You’ll be served the most delicious and nourishing brunch.
Plant-based foods and abstaining from alcohol provide the essential nutrients and energy needed to fuel optimal health, performance, and recovery. Since the brunch will be blind-folded, it is paramount that you let me know of any intolerances or allergies at least 5 days BEFORE the retreat.

A guided meditation with aroma and sound to awaken inner stillness
Silent sauna & refreshing cold plunge to clear and reset
A mindful, silent forest walk including breathwork, tuning into the whispers of winter
A blindfolded, plant-based brunch— tasted with curiosity, without judgement

Why Samhain?
Samhain is the midpoint between the autumn equinox and winter solstice — a time traditionally associated with reflection, release, and transition.
It invites us to:
Let go of what no longer serves us
Honour what has been
Create space for what is quietly emerging
Rather than pushing forward, we turn inward — listening more deeply to the body, the senses, and the subtle signals within.

Meet your host
Hi, I'm Tamara - The MindFuelBody Coach
I’m an accredited Hypnotherapist, Nutritionist, Personal Trainer and UESCA-certified Ultra Run Coach, with over seven years of experience supporting and empowering individuals on their journey to a holistic wellbeing. Integrating mindset, movement, and nutrition, and emphasising the profound connection between the mind and body. Alongside this, I’m currently training to become a qualified Mountain Leader and a Counsellor & Psychotherapist, deepening my connection with the outdoors and expanding the way I guide others through wild landscapes - both inner and outer.
For many years, I lived an unhealthy and unhappy life, feeling disconnected from myself. As a teenager, my doctor told me I would never be sporty or fit because of the thyroid medication I had to take, which was devastating at the time. Years later, through a personalised training and nutrition plan, I transformed my health - losing 19kg, regaining my vitality, and discovered my passion for ultra trail running and IronMan triathlons. This journey taught me resilience, self-belief, and the importance of living a lifestyle aligned with who I truly am.
Gradually, I started to spend more time in nature, and through those small steps, I began to reconnect with myself and others on a deeper level. For me, trail running, especially ultra distances, became my teacher, showing me resilience, patience, and what it means to meet myself at my edges.
The heart of my work, through MindFuelBody, lies in recognising the power of nature as a space for reflection, healing, transformation - a place to breathe. Whether through 1:1 holistic run coaching, group events, retreats, hiking, or mindful movement on the trails, I help others reconnect with their inner self - that part of us that knows how to adapt, transform, and rise. Finding their roots in movement, nature, and their mind-body connection.
