Wellbeing Retreats
Many of us move through life in a constant rush, balancing endless demands and rarely finding the time or space to pause. Over time, this can leave us feeling tired, drained, disconnected, or even overwhelmed. Our wellbeing retreats offer a compassionate pause — a chance to step away from the noise and give yourself the care you need and so often give to others (but maybe not yourself).
At Pathways, we believe that true wellbeing goes beyond a single moment, morning or day of rest – it’s about nurturing your mind, body, and soul in ways that support you long after the retreat has ended. Bringing balance and resilience into your everyday life.
That’s why we’ve created our Wellbeing Retreats: gentle, supportive spaces designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, rediscover possibilities, feel reenergised and develop practices that you can carry with you into everyday life. The real gift of these retreats is what you take home: small, sustainable practices that help you feel more grounded, connected, and well long after the retreat has ended. Think of it as planting seeds that will continue to grow as you continue on the journey of life.
Through all of our work and our own practice, we have seen how powerful it can be when people are given the time and space to step away from the noise of daily life. These retreats are not about quick fixes or grand promises – they are about compassion, reflection, and learning small but meaningful ways to take care of yourself that could last a lifetime.

10/01/2026 Join us at Queens House, Chester for the Real Reset. This January, step away from the noise of “New Year, New Me” and take time for something real, something meaningful that goes beyond January or changing how you look. The Real Reset is a nurturing wellbeing retreat designed to help you reconnect, refocus, and recharge — not through quick fixes, but through meaningful change. Guided by an experienced, passionate and supportive team, you’ll explore: - The lens we look through: How the stories we tell ourselves impact our beliefs and set the scene for what we think we can achieve (reflecting on how we can be more compassionate and kind to ourselves to succeed) - Mind body connection: How looking after our body is the foundation that resources us for life (explore nutrition, movement and sleep) - Roots and horizons: Staying grounded whilst moving towards where you want to be (thinking about realistic goals and exploring obstacles so that you can overcome them) - From reflection to intention and action: Mapping the journey ahead by making commitments to yourself for 2026 and beyond (let’s make a plan) You’ll leave with: - Reconnect with yourself – gain insight into your thoughts, habits, and emotions so you can move forward with greater self-awareness and compassion. - Feel renewed energy and focus – through nurturing your body, resting deeply, and understanding what truly restores you. - Clarify your direction – set realistic, meaningful goals that align with your values rather than external pressure or “shoulds.” - Practical tools to promote balance, resilience and purpose An actionable plan Real growth doesn’t come from reinvention — it comes from refocusing and reconnecting. Contact us more info or book through Eventbrite for you or someone you think might benefit from a reset (gift vouchers available)
