Rest to Rise

A Spring Equinox Retreat for Women

It’s time, your time….

It’s time to let go of what’s weighing you down and rise into what’s next.

Step away from the noise, the pressure, the constant holding-it-all-together.

Nestled in the still beauty of the Scottish Highlands, Rest to Rise is your invitation to exhale, soften, and come home to yourself.

This is more than a retreat, it’s a sacred threshold. As winter turns to spring, you’ll release what no longer serves and gently root into a new season of clarity, confidence, and calm.

Held by Suzi Gibson, this luxurious 4 or 6 night experience weaves psychotherapy, somatic healing, and ancient ritual to guide you into deep rest and soul-led renewal.

Private and shared rooms available | Small group only | 19th - 23rd March with the option to extend to the 25th March.

You’ve Been Holding So Much, for So Long

There’s a quiet ache you’ve been carrying.

A heaviness that rest alone hasn’t touched.

You’ve done the inner work. You know the language of self-awareness.

But lately, it’s like something’s missing.

You feel tired in your bones.

Disconnected from your own rhythms.

Like life is asking for more than you have to give.

And somehow, you’re the last person on your own list.

Maybe you’ve been the strong one for everyone else.

The carer, the leader, the one who keeps it all moving.

But now, your soul is whispering: enough.

Enough overriding your needs.

Enough trying to figure it out alone.

Enough postponing your own peace until later.

What if you didn’t have to push through another season like this?

What if this Spring was your turning point?

Enter…Rest to Rise

A Spring Equinox Retreat for Women Ready to Begin Again

Rest to Rise isn’t just a weekend away.

It’s a soul-led recalibration, where nervous systems settle, emotions soften, and a deeper clarity begins to surface.

Across 2 nourishing days in the Scottish Highlands, you’ll be held in a gentle, expertly facilitated space designed for your healing, remembering, and renewal.

This retreat weaves Suzi Gibson’s 20+ years of therapeutic experience with somatic practice, sacred ritual, and feminine psychology to guide you through:

🌿 Deep rest that reaches your core

🌿 Nervous system reset through breath, movement, and stillness

🌿 Reconnection to body, intuition, and inner guidance

🌿 Release of old identities and stuck patterns

🌿 Spring Equinox ritual to honour your past and welcome your future

You’ll walk away feeling rested, clear, and rooted in the next version of you, not through force, but through grace.

This Retreat Is For You If…

✨ You feel burnt out, disconnected, or uninspired, but you know there’s more waiting for you.

✨ You’re craving time away from the noise, space to breathe, and a deeper connection to yourself.

✨ You’ve been doing the work, but still feel stuck in cycles that no longer serve.

✨ You’re ready to stop performing wellness and actually feel well.

✨ You value depth, honesty, emotional safety and want to be held in sacred space.

✨ You’re ready for a real reset. Not a spa day. A soul return.

This Is Not For You If…

⛔ You want a fast-paced itinerary or lots of high-energy activities

⛔ You’re looking for surface-level self-care or a weekend of distraction

⛔ You’re not open to reflection, rest, or emotional depth

⛔ You’re unwilling to be with your inner world gently and honestly

This space is deep, slow, and sacred.

If that feels like a yes in your body - you’re in the right place.

What You’ll Walk Away With

This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you were before the noise, the burnout, the striving.
And rising into the woman you’re here to be, rooted, rested, and real.

💤 Deep, Cellular Rest

Nervous system-calming practices like Yoga Nidra, breathwork, and stillness give your body a chance to truly exhale, so you leave feeling rested in a way sleep alone can’t reach.

🔥 Release + Rebirth

Through ritual, sharing, and movement, you’ll shed what’s been weighing you down and create space for what wants to emerge. It’s Spring Equinox energy embodied.

🌀 Emotional Clarity

You’ll reconnect with your inner guidance and intuition, clearing emotional fog and finding answers that feel rooted in truth, not pressure or people-pleasing.

🌿 Soulful Connection

Held in a small group of likeminded women, you’ll be seen, supported, and inspired. Many arrive alone, none leave feeling that way.

🌸 Lasting Integration

You’ll receive take-home practices, prompts, and a ritual journal to help you carry the shift with you, not just for the weekend, but into your next season of life.

The Deeper Meaning of the Spring Equinox

In ancient Celtic traditions, the Spring Equinox was a sacred threshold.

It marked the precise moment of balance between day and night, light and dark. A pause. A pivot. Nature’s quiet inhale before the outward breath of Spring.

This wasn’t just a seasonal shift, it was a spiritual one.

It was a time to bless the fertile land, prepare the fields, and celebrate the return of light, warmth, and growth. A time to honour the new, not just in the world around us, but in ourselves.

At Rest to Rise, we draw upon this wisdom.

You won’t just be “retreating.” You’ll be re-rooting, returning to your own inner soil to release what no longer serves, plant new intentions with clarity, and rise into the next season of your life with purpose, grace, and grounded power.

This is Spring Equinox as ritual. As medicine. As sacred renewal.

Yes. Spaciousness is built in. This retreat is about nervous system nourishment, not jam-packed schedules.

That’s exactly why this space exists. You don’t need to arrive energised - just honest. You’ll be met where you are.

You Don’t Need to Push Through Another Season Like This

There’s a version of you on the other side of this retreat - Rested. Rooted. Clear.

She’s not far away. She’s waiting in the stillness.

In the firelight. In the breath.

In the choice to say yes to yourself.

If your soul has been whispering “I need this” - You already know.
