A Time to Awaken, Heal, & Flourish….
Like flowers, we sometimes forget to water ourselves — to nourish the parts within us quietly longing for light.
Life moves fast, and in the chaos it’s easy to lose tough with your true self. .
But healing happens when we choose to pause, to listen, and to come home to our hearts.
At Flourish, you’ll experience a soulful immersion into your four-pillars of wellbeing – body, mind, emotions, and energy — a holistic journey, surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Cotswolds countryside.
This retreat is for the woman who is ready to:
✨ Feel nurtured & reconnected.
✨ Rediscover her inner light.
✨ Feel energised.
✨ Heal emotional wounds.
✨ Flourish into the next version of herself.
“Before coming to this retreat, I felt lost and disconnected. After just one day, I felt re-energised, deeply connected, and at peace with myself. If you’re hesitating—just do it!”
– Emma W.

TESTIMONIALS
What Clients Are Saying….
Joanne you have found your purpose. To have channelled all the mysteries, energies and needs of our group and to have a smile on your face the whole time. To hold space, empower and guide vulnerable women through a time of turbulence was amazing to feel and witness. Truly grateful and motivated to start my new chapter. Thank you.
Thoroughly enjoyed the day. There were so many little details that made a difference too, such as the messages in the notebooks and the roses. The food and the snacks, particularly the rocky road were incredible.
Let Me Introduce Myself……
I’m Joanne, founder of The Zen Academy, soul guide, and sacred space holder.
I walk this path because I’ve lived it — navigating emotional trauma, identity loss, burnout, and the deep remembering that healing is possible.
Through my work as a Master NLP Practitioner, Energy Psychologist, Reiki Master Teacher, and Spiritual Life Coach. I have supported hundreds of women to reclaim their wholeness, shift their stories, and step into lives rooted in clarity, resilience, and love.
At Flourish, I hold a space where you will feel seen, held, and honored — exactly as you are.
The feminine magic of women gathering together is profound — and your journey home to yourself begins the moment you say yes.
With Love & Gratitude,
Joanne x
“Sometimes we can’t supress our emotions any longer and need to reconnect, shift our perception internally and address our shadows. We must stop hiding from who we really are in case it’s not what the world wants to see and live in our own power.”
The Power Of Feminine Energy….
Women coming together in feminine energy and sharing this space to gain balance, meet like-minded people, letting their bodies & minds rest and energy heal is truly magical!
No matter what you bring with you to this space it will be held, & the expression and acknowledgement of emotion should not be feared, it is not negative it is part of being human!
We need to regulate our emotions through expression & in an ever-busy world we don’t always have the place, space, or time to be able to feel these emotions as we strive for more and navigate life. Sometimes we don’t feel that our expression is not worthy or me may be judged.
This day retreat is a place for re-connection & to gain clarity & purpose, enabling you to shift identities & come back to a place of love within yourself & your heart space.
