Welcome to Weekend Renaissance - A Guided, 84-Page Self-Retreat to Realign Your Heart, Home, Body & Soul

You’ve been so good at holding it all together.

But beneath the routines and responsibilities, something is stirring. Or festering.
A longing. A quiet ache. A whisper that says: there must be more than this. Pain…

So The Weekend Renaissance is a lovingly guided, downloadable retreat to help you gently step back into alignment with yourself—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and within the place you call home.

Across 84 beautiful pages, you will be invited to pause, reflect, release, and return.

This isn’t self-help. It’s self-reverence.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about remembering who you are.


Why Now?

Because midlife can feel like being caught between chapters.
Because you’ve given so much of yourself away, you hardly recognise your reflection.
Because there’s still a fire inside you—and you’re ready to tend it again.

The Weekend Renaissance exists because you deserve space to reconnect.
To reclaim the parts of you that were buried under busyness.
To become, again.


The Four Pillars of the Return to Yourself

At the centre of this retreat are four guiding practices—each one designed to help you realign what has been pulled apart. These aren’t categories. They’re gateways. And each one answers a specific ache you may have carried for years.


HeartWork: For the Woman Who Has Forgotten Her Own Voice

You’ve held space for others for so long. But who’s been holding space for you?

HeartWork invites you to:

  • Honour the woman you’ve been

  • Let go of emotional burdens that no longer serve

  • Name what hurts and what heals

  • Write your way back to the truth beneath the roles

Through soulful prompts, essays, and rituals, you’ll begin to soften toward yourself. Not to fix what’s broken, but to remember what’s sacred.

Because your heart deserves your own tenderness.


HomeWork: For the Woman Who Feels Unsettled in Her Own Space

You’ve created a home for others. But does it feel like a home for you?

HomeWork helps you:

  • Re-enchant your domestic life through small acts of intention

  • Create sacred corners that reflect your becoming

  • Clear, care, and curate—not to impress, but to belong

Through tiny rituals and simple shifts, you’ll learn to see your home as an extension of your soul—not just a place you clean, but a place that heals.

Because home should be where you feel most like yourself.


BodyWork: For the Woman Who No Longer Feels at Home in Her Skin

Your body has changed. And you’ve changed with it. But somewhere along the way, you stopped speaking kindly to her.

BodyWork is your invitation to:

  • Reclaim your body as a place of softness, strength, and memory

  • Move with joy, dress with grace, and nourish with love

  • Replace punishment with reverence

  • Honour your skin, your curves, your aches, your aliveness

This is about tending to your body not as a project, but as a partner.

Because your body is not a battlefield. She is your home.


SoulWork: For the Woman Who’s Longing to Feel Connected Again

You’ve silenced your intuition. You’ve followed the rules. But your soul has been whispering all along.

SoulWork helps you:

  • Listen to your own deep knowing

  • Create quiet space for spirit to speak

  • Reconnect to beauty, ritual, and longing

  • Write, rest, and dream your way back to your centre

This is the stillness you’ve been craving. The pause before the bloom.

Because your soul is not lost. She’s been waiting for you to listen.


What’s Included

Your 84-page digital retreat includes:

✔️ Full weekend itinerary (Thursday–Sunday).
✔️ Four deep-diving essays (Heart, Home, Body, Soul)
✔️ Daily, nourishing but cosy, meal plans
✔️ Soulful journaling prompts for each pillar
✔️ Creative + spiritual tasks to ground your insights
✔️ The Lantern Light Library – curated book list
✔️ The Inner Room – meditation playlist
✔️ Guided reflection pages
✔️ Printable tools: prep checklist, ritual cards, soul compass, and more

Everything you need to create sacred space—at your own pace, in your own home.


How to Use It

  • Choose a quiet weekend—or stretch it gently over a week

  • Use the printable timetable to prepare with ease

  • Follow the flow, or let your intuition lead

  • Repeat the retreat seasonally or when life feels noisy

  • Keep it as a lifelong tool for coming home to yourself again and again


This is for You If…

✔️ You feel like you’ve drifted from yourself
✔️ You want a gentle restart, not a harsh overhaul
✔️ You’re craving beauty, ritual, and meaning
✔️ You want to feel whole again—not perfect, just whole


🕊 What You’ll Walk Away With

✨ A deeper understanding of your emotional needs
✨ A renewed sense of safety and beauty in your home
✨ A kinder relationship with your body
✨ A reawakened connection to your spirit
✨ A toolkit to return to, again and again

This is not a performance.
This is a reclamation.

You don’t need to become someone else.
You just need to become yourself again.

  • Digital PDF (instant download)

  • Yours forever—no expiration, no pressure

  • Printable and device-friendly

  • Beautifully designed and easy to follow
