On Sunday 2nd August, Fortuna Female Society and the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project are joining forces to host a Family Peace Retreat at St Marie's Church.
Open to everyone, whether attending alone, with friends or as a family, the day has been designed to encourage people to switch off from the pressures of everyday life and spend time focusing on their wellbeing.
The event comes at an ideal point in the school summer holidays, when many parents are juggling childcare and children often find themselves spending more time than usual glued to their phones or tablets. Instead of another day spent in front of a screen, the retreat offers a welcoming space where families can relax, learn new wellbeing techniques and enjoy meaningful time together.
The Peace Retreat builds on an existing partnership between the two organisations. Earlier this year, the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project successfully piloted its Flourishing Families programme with Fortuna Female Society's Let Her Shine group, supporting local mums, female carers and their daughters over six sessions. This latest event expands that approach, opening it up to the wider Halton community.
Throughout the day, adults and teenagers can take part in a range of wellbeing sessions held inside a large tipi. Activities include yoga, tai chi, breathwork, meditation and sound baths, all led by experienced local practitioners.
Families haven't been forgotten either. There will be dedicated children's yoga and tai chi sessions alongside Flourishing Families activities, before the day concludes with a relaxing family sound bath that everyone can enjoy together.
Visitors can also take advantage of complimentary taster treatments, including reflexology, Indian head massage and hand massages.
All activities operate on a first come, first served basis, while food and refreshments will be available to purchase throughout the day. With all activities taking place under cover, the retreat will go ahead whatever the weather.
Laura Bevan, Founder of Fortuna Female Society, told That's Health that the partnership felt like a natural fit, with both organisations sharing a passion for improving wellbeing and strengthening community connections.
Esther Ghey, Founder of the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project, said she was proud to be collaborating on the project's first-ever Peace Retreat and looked forward to welcoming families for a day dedicated to wellness and relaxation.
Admission is free, but advance booking is essential, making this a wonderful opportunity for families to enjoy a calm, restorative day together during the summer holidays.
