Back to ‘real life’ after a break?
One of the things I’ve learnt over the years is how to make the transition from ‘going away — holiday or a retreat’ into ‘coming back home’.
Most importantly — here’s how to come home without losing yourself.
Here are 5 ways I’m keeping the retreat feeling alive as we travel home from Sri Lanka — and a glimpse of what’s coming next…
If you’re new here — I’m Ange 🥰. I run soul-deep retreats for women who want space, clarity, and reconnection. My retreats have been described as ‘transformational’, ‘life-giving’, and ‘like nothing I’ve ever experienced’.
If you’re craving something more than just another holiday… you’re in the right place. 🤍
Save this if you’re post-holiday and feeling the wobble.
✈️ Keep the spaciousness — Just because the trip’s over doesn’t mean your peace has to be. What did you learn? If you soaked it in, don’t just squeeze the sponge — savour it. Block at least 10 mins each morning before phone or chaos.
🌿 Let your senses anchor you — What did you smell, taste, hear on holiday? For me, Sri Lanka has absolutely astounding, breathtaking scenery — from the smells to the sounds of nature and wildlife to their food. Bring one thing home (e.g., a scent, music, or tea).
✍️ Journal your next chapter — My mind tends to jump to the future, so it’s not just about what you have to do, but what you want to keep feeling. Great holidays and retreats give us SO much clarity — don’t waste it!
🧘♀️ Micro-rituals > big changes — One breath before meetings. A 5-min walk alone. Eating without your phone and really tasting your food. Tiny things = lasting shifts.
🌊 Still feel the pull? — That’s your intuition. Our Portugal Nature Embrace Azores retreat is about answering that nudge and going deeper. I have one this September (link in bio) and another Sept 2026 on a different island, São Miguel (think the Hawaii of Europe!). DM me to join the early bird list for discounts and offers.
Come with me — The September 2025 Azores retreat is for women who want space, sea, and soul, not just scenery.
