Promising to be a 'Nourishing and Wholesome' event in the beautiful setting of Baldonnell House, this is definitely one to mark in your diary if you are looking for something quieter to do this weekend.
Move Nourish Shine is a holistic retreat so you'll be coming home relaxed and ready to take on the new week. You'll also get to enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by nutritionist Nicky Halliday. You can opt to attend for one day or stay overnight and enjoy the full weekend. Activities will include everything from yoga and meditation to music, mandala making outside in nature and a talk about nutrition, as well as music and mingling.
