MAGIC IN THE LAKE DISTRICT
30TH OCTOBER - 02ND NOVEMBER 2025
For the enchantress ready to step into
her magic.
Imagine wrapping yourself in the cozy embrace of autumn - crimson leaves crunching underfoot, the scent of woodsmoke in the air, and the crisp breeze awakening your senses.
This is your time to tap into the magic of the season and transform alongside nature's own metamorphosis.
"Attending the spellbound retreat in the Lake District was nothing short of magical.
From the stunning lake dips under a clear blue sky, where we raised our witch hats in unity, to breathtaking hikes with views that left us in awe, every moment was soul-nourishing.
The landscapes stretched out before us, reminding us of nature’s beauty and our connection to it."

KIND WORDS...
MEET YOUR HOSTS
MEG & MEL
As self-confessed whimsical, nature lovers, we understand that longing for time spent in the beautiful outdoors, away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind.
Time spent in nature, where you can be your authentic self and meet other like-minded women, just like you.
And that got us thinking…we couldn’t be the only ones that would love to attend an event where we get to explore the outdoors, have deep chats around the fire, endless giggles over crafts and connect with other like-minded women?
Not your usual retreat, but something that combines a little bit of everything, and celebrates the season.
Mel & Meg champion women supporting women and that’s why we’ve been collaborating together since 2023!
WHAT'S POSSIBLE FOR YOU HERE?
Here at the Joy & Magic Retreats, we (that's Meg & Mel) are seasonal girlies. We truly believe in leaning into the seasons and the best they have to offer. So our retreats reflect that!
⛰️ Joy & Magic Retreats in Spring: Adventure awaits
MAY 2025
Imagine the exhilaration of conquering a peak you once deemed impossible.
In Spring, the mountains mirror your personal growth. Each step you take into the wild is a step closer to the resilient, bold version of you that’s been waiting to emerge. You’ll leave with more than aching calves - you’ll leave with unshakable confidence.
🌸 Joy & Magic Retreats in Summer: The pause you’ve been craving
JULY 2025
Visualise a morning where your only job is to breathe deeply and soak in the serenity.
This retreat is your permission slip to slow the hell down. Rediscover your creativity, play, and peace in nature’s gentle rhythm - no pressure, just presence. You’ll return to your life with a full cup and a quiet, knowing smile.
✨ Joy & Magic Retreats in Autumn: Your inner magic reawakened
OCTOBER 2025
Picture yourself wrapped in a blanket, candle flickering, journal open, a fire crackling beside you as the leaves fall.
Autumn calls to the part of you that’s ready for deeper transformation. Through soulful rituals and grounding nature walks, you’ll reconnect with the magic you thought you’d lost.
Which Retreat Is Calling You?
Not sure which retreat is right for your soul right now?
✨ Spring is for the wild-hearted woman ready to get brave and bold.
🌼 Summer is for the burnt-out dreamer who needs space to feel again.
🍂 Autumn is for the mystic who’s ready to turn inward and rise transformed.
Feeling a Bit Stuck Right Now?
You're not alone.
If you’ve been saying:
-
“I feel like I’ve lost myself lately.”
-
“I need a break, I need some fun!”
-
“I just want to be outside & feel like me.”
Then this is your nudge from the universe. These retreats are more than an escape - they’re a homecoming to your true self. Many women who attend say it’s the first time in years they felt fully present, supported, and alive.
