Ease Forward | Saunter & Frolic Retreat with Angela Ortiz Pettas & Sarah Furuya | November 13th-November 15th, 2026

Women’s Retreat Series - Autumn Retreat, Ease Forward- November 13th-November 15th, 2026 Join us for Ease Forward on November 13th-November 15th for this 3 days of curated experience including conversations, life coaching & physical mobility. Step away from the demands, expectations, and constant doing of everyday life and enter a different rhythm. "Thanks for an epic retreat - Legends ALL" August 2025 retreater Ease Forward is a chance to reset, escape & move with ease. Set in beautiful natural surroundings, this Saunter & Frolic retreat offers a sacred and secret space for women to reconnect with themselves beyond their roles, responsibilities, and achievements. Here, there is nothing to prove, fix, optimise, or perform. Instead, you are invited to soften, slow down, and remember who you are when you are deeply supported. November 2026 we will take BIG PAPER and reflect on the incredible lives we've led and the the incredible lives ahead. I really mean it - giant timelines we can walk along. It's a revelation when you reflect on your timeline and have other people look at it with you and reflect back your stories. Then enter the movement and work through our bodies. Through nourishing conversations, intuitive coaching, embodied movement, rest, laughter, elemental rituals, ocean dips, sauna sessions, card pulls, and fireside connection, we will explore what becomes possible when we stop gripping so tightly and allow life to hold us for a while. You have zero pressure to disclose anything but highly recommend telling the truth - to yourself. About the Retreat Series: This is not a workshop. Not a strategy summit. Not a healing bootcamp. It’s spaciousness and rest. For the mind to clear. For a reset. For ambition to meet its soft, wise twin — intuition. You have all the information you need. Except for the joining instructions that will come in closer to the date after signing up! We get brilliant people on these retreats and have a great laugh and the things that happen for them the things that get worked out, discussed, decided and dreamed up are game-changing. We trust our retreat members and we look after each other. Isn't it great to get together in-person Whether you are a leader, entrepreneur, creative, mother, seeker, or woman standing on the edge of a new chapter, this retreat offers an opportunity to reconnect with your inner wisdom and the quiet magic that already lives within you. Come as you are. Rest deeply. Dream boldly. Let it be easy. Let it be huge.

A Yes you can - just let us know your estimated arrival time and we will pick you up from the station or ensure there is a parking spot. I'd highly recommend trying to arrive on Friday night but if you want to arrive on Saturday, I'd advise arriving as early on Saturday morning as possible so you get the full benefit of the programme and process. Q Can we arrive on the 2nd day? A You can, but we found last year that if you arrive half way through 2nd day you miss a lot of the programme and we prefer everyone to join from day 1 if at all possible. Q Is there parking? A Yes - for 4 cars - let us know and we'll reserve a spot Q Can you cater to different diets A Yes we can - our kitchen is used for all kinds of cooking but we can do our best to cater to your needs - let us know Q Do I have to participate in everything? A No - absolutely everything is optional and we encourage you to take the time you want and need to recharge Q I love Chickens - do you have live chickens? A As luck would have it - yes we do - we have live chikcens and a tiny dog called Luna who has magical healing powers Q Can I bring my kid? A Sorry - not on this retreat Q Will the movement be hard? A It will cater to any level of physcial capability adn we invite you to participate at the pace and push that feels good to you. Ange is an elite athlete and Sarah is a gentle movement lover - she takes the modifications in yoga for example. Q When you say dress for dinner - what do you mean? A Well our last retreats, there was everything from a silver cocktail dress to a red flowing kaftan - think Princess Margaret in Mustique, Kate Moss and Jade Jagger in Ibiza in the 90s, Bella Freud and Susie Cave on holiday in Cornwall. Feel beautiful and dazzling at dinner. Be a sight to behold. Q Should I bring my swimsuit A Absolutely - bring your swimsuit - we might go swimming, we may do sauna, we may go to a sento (no swimsuit required) but we will need swimsuits Q Is it a sober retreat? A No - please bring whatever wines, beers and coacktails you would like to! Sarah is al-free and Ange enjoys alcohol so all are welcome! Q Are alcoholic drinks included in the retreat package? A No - we have tea, coffee and soft drinks available at all times as well as snacks. Maybe cheeky welcome drinks. Q How do we get from t he station to the BnB? A We can collect you from the station. Q Are you healers? A Absolutely not - there'll be no healing here. Just a bit of optional magic. ******************************************************** "Women like us know how to push through.
