AND BREATHE…

What are Project Pause Retreats?

  • An opportunity to hit pause and disconnect from the daily grind (without having to fly halfway around the world!).

  • A chance to huddle up with a small community of others feeling the same way as you might be feeling.

  • An opportunity to take a moment to prioritise you.

  • A safe space for you to try some of the tools and experiences that really helped me through feeling burnt out and overwhelmed.

  • Finally, it’s a break that will leave you with practical learnings you can take back and apply to your day-to-day.

  • Project Pause, at Northcott Beach was such a wonderful experience and from the minute I arrived it pressed all of my happy buttons! The venue, location, workshops, company and catering were all delivered with professionalism and flair. Sophie was an amazing host, and had planned everything so well with a loving care and attention to detail. The benefits of this ' Pause' will stay with me for a long time, for this I am very grateful. Also, I feel so lucky to have spent this time with a very special host and an amazing group of people.

  • Where to start... Project Pause, such a well balanced week on every level. Sophie has created such a beautiful thought out package that everyone will benefit from. It attracted so many like minded people which just says it all. The most precious week filled with inspiring people, treasured moments, adventures, so many laughs and the most incredible setting. The confidence, friendships, honesty and positive intentions that blossomed from the week was really special. It was the biggest joy to be apart of.

  • Project Pause was everything I'd hoped it would be and more! I was drawn to the idea because of the variety of activities rather than all one type of thing and Sophie's relaxed attitude on the schedule being just the right pace and no pressure to do everything if you're not feeling it! I felt energised and relaxed afterwards and hoping to keep the post post glow for as long as I can! Thank you for creating such a much needed project Sophie! I'll be back!
