REVIVE & THRIVE
RESTORE YOUR ENERGY. RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF.
7-night retreat: Sunday 20 - Sunday 27 September 2026
Escape to Türkiye’s stunning Turquoise Coast for our annual women-only wellness retreat - a nourishing experience designed to help you recharge and bring new ease and confidence to the way you relate to your body and nutrition.
Join hosts Sarah and Emily for a restorative, uplifting and gently transformative programme in the breathtaking coastal setting of Kalkan Bay.
Find your flow and balance - realign your energy, release tension and reawaken your spirit
Foster a more intuitive relationship with food - elevate your approach to nourishment and self-care
Feel more at peace in your body - cultivate self-connection, self-compassion and confidence
REVIVE & THRIVE blends Energy Medicine Yoga®️, Intuitive Eating coaching and a thoughtful mix of holistic practices and excursions - all curated to help you feel more at home in yourself, and return with renewed energy and a deeper connection to your self-care needs.
Imagine…
Enjoying an outdoor, restorative, energy-harnessing yoga practice, with stunning sea views
Stress melting away as you read a book or meditate on a shady bougainvillaea-lined terrace
Finding joy and meaning through connection with supportive and like-minded women
Taking time to reflect and re-envision your self-care with expert support
Bathing in pure, revitalising seawater, or feeling sand between your toes on a sunset walk
Eating outdoors, mindfully savouring delicious, fresh and flavourful plant-powered Turkish cuisine
Leaving the retreat feeling renewed and empowered so that back at home, your self-care and food choices come from alignment rather than autopilot
“I feel like a weight has been lifted. I feel content and at peace with myself. I will leave feeling inspired, motivated, and energised. The transformation in the way I feel is more more than I expected. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.”
Dedicated to your complete wellbeing,
REVIVE & THRIVE includes:
-
Türkiye’s Aegean coast with its sapphire waters, ancient cultural influences, dramatic views and warm and hospitable culture is a place to immerse yourself in vibrant natural beauty, to rest, restore, feel alive and reinvigorated.
Set in a breath-taking, sweeping bay, with a crystal quartz infused mountainous backdrop, Kalkan is a historic fishing town with an exquisite harbour now bordered with friendly waterfront restaurants and small boutiques. Thriving but unspoilt, you’ll find its winding streets with overhanging balconies and eclectic Ottoman architecture irresistible. -
Each day of REVIVE & THRIVE builds on the next, creating a nourishing rhythm of movement, reflection, rest and connection.
Through gentle practices, illuminating workshops and meaningful conversations, you’ll be guided on a journey to support harmony, ease and confidence in your body and in your relationship with food - during the retreat and beyond.
The chakra system (the body’s major energy map governing the flow of life force) forms the foundation of our retreat programme. Throughout the week, you’ll become familiar with each chakra and learn how to rebalance your energy to promote wellbeing and vitality.
You’ll have continual access to Emily and Sarah’s kind, friendly support, and receive a beautifully designed printed workbook - your personal companion for the retreat. Inside you’ll find Intuitive Eating and Energy Medicine practices, chakra insights, and journalling space to support your reflections and growth.
A post-retreat online workshop will be offered four weeks later - a chance to reconnect and sustain your momentum at home.
-
Designed for all abilities, these gentle, restorative practices are a magical union of yoga and energy medicine that teach you how to feel and support the flow of energy, both within and around your body.
By combining simple movements that help the body to release tension, self-regulate, energise and move with more ease, Energy Medicine Yoga amplifies the benefits of a traditional practice.
You will also learn to connect with your Chakra energy system to enhance your relaxation, health and happiness. When we work with our chakras we have the ability to release old patterns and stories, leaving us feeling lighter, clearer and with a deeper connection to who we are.
Restoring your sense of balance and flow, you will find the daily Yoga sessions to be a deeply nourishing experience for mind, body and soul.
-
Illuminating and gently transformative, these group sessions offer a chance to step away from external pressures and any lingering old food rules - and discover how to reconnect with your own inner wisdom around your body and eating.
Whether you’re someone who struggles in this area of life, or simply want to elevate your approach to nourishment, deepen your self-care and feel more connected to yourself, these workshops offer a relaxed, supportive space to explore and grow.
Through a blend of light education, personal reflection and guided journalling in your retreat workbook, you’ll compassionately explore how your body's energy patterns influence your eating habits, stress responses and capacity for nourishment.
As well as looking at some of the deeper forces that shape how we eat, you will gain practical, ‘non-diet’ tools to support more ease, balance and self-trust with food.
Held in a beautiful open-air stone sanctuary, each workshop invites insight, connection and space to reset. You will leave feeling clearer, more grounded and inspired to take gentle steps towards lasting, meaningful change in your approach to nourishing and caring for your body.
-
Experience a thoughtful, soulful blend of adventure and relaxation, including:
Exploring Patara’s ancient ruins and 12-mile golden beach
A private gulet boat trip with swim stops and a natural mud bath
Hands-on cookery school making and enjoying delicious, vibrant vegetarian dishes with an award winning Turkish chef
A spectacular Turkish meal in the mountains, and village walk

-

Each year we work with Patara’s chefs who curate a bespoke menu for our group, that includes some traditional dishes handed down through generations.
Breakfasts are Turkish ‘buffet’ style including salads, tomatoes, cucumber, eggs, olives, cheese, breads, tahini, oats, yoghurts and fruits.
-
Stay at Patara Prince, a picturesque, privately owned resort nestled into the hillside overlooking Kalkan Bay, with rustic, natural stone architecture, lush greenery, and character-filled pathways.
It is far enough from the town to enjoy serenity and peace, but just a 15-minute walk or short boat ride for explorers.
The vibe is mellow, quirky yet comfortable, intimate yet spacious, with plenty of areas in which to lose yourself and enjoy those much needed quiet moments and ‘you time’.You will have full use of the facilities including two salt-water, ocean-view pools, and tennis courts. Your en suite room with a sea view will be situated in the main hotel, furnished in a traditional style.
““I really loved the unique blend of chakra-based, energy medicine yoga and intuitive eating coaching on this retreat. I’m leaving Kalkan feeling amazing, but also excited about taking my new approach to my eating habits and self-care home with me! I have connected with my body and energy body in a new and unexpected way and it’s so exciting. I now see myself in a completely new way! I love it.””

Who is this retreat for?
REVIVE & THRIVE is designed for women who tend to do a lot and give a lot, and who are ready for a nourishing break with like-minded women. Some join us to improve their relationship with food or step out of autopilot habits; others simply want to feel more balanced, energised and connected to themselves again.
The yoga is suitable for all abilities, including complete beginners. While the retreat offers supportive tools around nourishment and self-connection, it is not a clinical programme. If you are currently experiencing an active eating disorder, we recommend seeking specialist support first.
If you’re considering joining us, you’re very welcome to book a short call so we can talk things through. It’s a chance to make sure the retreat feels right for you and to answer any questions you may have:
““Emily and Sarah deliver a programme that is life changing. This was my second retreat and as such I have been able to note the progress I have made and also build on their previous retreat. The activities, me time, environment and organisation are exceptional. They embody what they are delivering and I felt very supported, heard and helped through every aspect of the week. It has been another transformative experience delivered yet again by two gorgeous souls with love, light and considerable wisdom - you need to come!””
““You feel totally welcomed by Emily and Sarah. As a total beginner with yoga, I felt very comfortable in Emily’s lessons. Sarah really helped me understand my relationship between food, and the connections between food and my energy and mood. Evenings were filled with laughter followed by plenty of good sleep. I feel more relaxed, and areas where I felt a pain or a niggle have lessened.””
““I am so content on completing this week. My spirit is alive, the authentic me has returned and I am excited about taking all I’ve learned home. I am more thankful for than critical of my body than I ever have been.””
“Wow! So glad to see you are holding more of these retreats...the mix of yoga practice and nutritional expertise over a few days is transformational... definitely resets and rebalances... on the road back to good health. Thank you.”
