SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEKEND
We will try to stick to it as closely as we can, but we will also allow for some mindful diversions if we feel these would be required. There might be activities added or removed from the list, but we do promise you: you will not be disappointed!
You absolutely do not need to partake in all the daily activities: this is your time to connect with your inner self, to recharge and relax. You can chill in your bedroom, read a book, use a fabulous stunning jacuzzi or journal away! Always remember we are there to guide you but essentially it is YOUR time for yourself: saying no to certain activities isn't a sign of weakness, but inner strength! It is a beautiful powerful manifestation of your inner self saying YES to the activities that truly nourish your body and soul!
