Mindful Retreats with Me - Evelyn Alessandri
Step Out of Chaos and Into Clarity
If life has been pulling you in a hundred directions, maybe it’s time for a gentle pause, the kind that brings you back to you.
My one-day retreats are designed to be a deep breath for your soul, a space to slow down, reflect, and gently shift your mindset. Whether I’m hosting on the beautiful South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal or bringing the experience to your town, these intimate retreats offer a powerful blend of gratitude, journaling, mindfulness, and soul-led conversations.
Each retreat is unique, but the heart of every gathering is the same: giving you tools to reconnect with your inner calm, your clarity, and your joy.
These gentle, life-lifting days often include:
- Guided visualisations and breathing practices
- Gratitude exercises to shift your focus and lift your mood
- Journaling prompts that bring insight and self-awareness
- Teachings on the Power of Pause — responding instead of reacting
- A light-hearted, uplifting group energy that reminds you you’re not alone
- You’ll leave with a notebook full of insights, a heart full of warmth, and practical tools you can return to anytime life gets noisy.
Let’s create space for your next chapter.
Upcoming 2025/26 dates and locations will be released soon.

Navigating Life’s Path Retreat
Life doesn’t always follow a straight road. Sometimes it bends, stalls, or takes us down unfamiliar turns. Navigating Life’s Path is a gentle, yet powerful one-day retreat designed to help you pause, reflect, and realign with your true direction.
Through guided reflection, NLP-inspired exercises, mindfulness moments, and heart-centered conversation, you’ll rediscover your inner strength, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with the part of yourself that knows the way forward.
