Pregnancy Retreat Day

A sacred pause to honour your journey into motherhood.

You are invited to rest, reconnect, and be held.

In your busy life, this one-day retreat offers a rare opportunity to slow down and turn inward. Held regularly in Linden, Johannesburg, with a special annual offering in Cape Town, either in March or October.

The Pregnancy Retreat Day is a deeply nurturing, soul-led space where you are invited to honour your pregnancy journey, connect with your baby, and embrace the powerful transformation that is unfolding within you.

This is not just a day off, it’s a sacred container for reflection, celebration, and preparation.

Whether you’re early in your pregnancy or nearing birth, this retreat will meet you exactly where you are.

What women are saying

For six years, this retreat has offered exactly what women didn’t know they needed.

“I am grateful to Theoni for creating a space in which I feel safe and seen. I truly admire the ease with which she directs the day and holds each person in her care”

What a lovely, relaxing day it was. I learnt more about myself and the new journey I’m about to embark on. I highly recommend the retreat to all expectant mothers. Come with an open mind & open heart.”

“The retreat helped me overcome fears that I had about labour and taught me to embrace this beautiful journey. I strongly recommend this retreat to all expecting moms as it helps you to create a sisterhood. ”

“Thank you, Theoni, for an amazing experience. I have felt loved and appreciated throughout the day. I was so relaxed after the fantastic lunch and enjoyed creating the bath salt. It was just the kind of group hug I needed.”

“Theoni creates and holds a safe space for all women who attend the retreat. It is a wholesome experience that is both healing and enlightening. Thank you!”

“Being able to share our fears and journeys has been just as important as birth preparation classes, acknowledging the spiritual and emotional part of this life, life-transformational. journey we are on.”

Why This Retreat Matters

Pregnancy is not just something to get through; it’s a sacred threshold.

You are not only growing a baby, but you are also growing into a mother. This retreat honours that truth.

It offers you time to come back to yourself. To tend to your emotions. To ground into your body. To breathe. To be.

In a culture that urges constant doing, this day invites you to simply be with your body, your baby, and your own becoming.

Reserve Your Space

Your pregnancy is a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Give yourself this gift of presence, reflection, and sacred pause.
 
Come as you are. Leave feeling nourished, empowered, and more connected to yourself and your baby.

A Gentle Flow of the Day

This retreat is spacious by design, an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and be held.

  • You’ll be welcomed into a sacred space with an opening ceremony that sets the tone for deep connection, first with yourself, then with others. 
  • A guided pregnancy yoga session will help you ground into your body, while gentle practices throughout the day support you in releasing tension and inviting trust.
  • You’ll sit in circle with other women in a similar season of life, creating a sense of village and shared understanding. Together, we’ll explore what’s stirring: concerns, fears, hopes, and offer them to the fire in a simple yet powerful fire ceremony.
  • There will be moments of reflection, meditation on the divine feminine, and time to craft a meaningful keepsake for your birth and motherhood journey, to take with you.
  • You’ll be nourished with wholesome, delicious food and snacks, honouring the energy and devotion it takes to grow and raise a baby.
  • The day is a mix of restoration, creativity, connection, and meaning with a nurturing gift bag to take home, and a deeper sense of readiness, calm, and community.
