About the program
It’s a three-phase journey.
The program is designed to be completed over 21 days - the amount of time it takes to create a new habit.
Your rest journey unfolds in three phases:
Week One, The Rest Phase: meeting physical exhaustion & connecting to your body
Week Two, The Release Phase: meeting mental and emotional exhaustion & reclaiming your intuition
Week Three, The Rise Phase: meeting life purpose exhaustion & rising up rested
21 Days of Rest includes
For each phase of the journey explore and sink into new content that centers around four areas:
Rest: Daring to Rest yoga nidra meditations & short rest practices for you to download and keep.
Reflection: Daily emails - with a poem/quote & journaling prompt - to support and deepen your rest journey, plus a weekly journal.
Aromatic Guides: Learn about nine essential oils (3 for each phase) to enhance your 21 day journey, plus receive a DIY aromatherapy recipe for each phase of the journey.
Ritual: Thoughtful guidance for you to create a weekly aromatic ritual of self/soul-care to honor yourself - just as you are.
The flow of the journey
21 Days of Rest is a self-directed, at home experience - meaning you decide when you want to start your 21 day rest journey.
The program is skillfully created for you to complete on your own and there's lots of supportive guidance from me.
You will receive a short email for each day of the journey, intentionally designed to be beautiful, thoughtful, and restful.
Rest each day with a 35 minute yoga nidra meditation or a short 15 minute rest practice.
Each week, enhance your rest journey with aromatherapy and self-care that honors you just as you are.
All content is yours to download and keep forever.

Love Notes

New moms are often told to sleep when the baby sleeps. It can be hard to actually sit down and carve out a moment to yourself, let alone rest when chores and obligations sit in wait. Shelagh’s online retreat allowed me to invest time in myself and in resting. I found myself sinking into meditation during my baby's afternoon nap, and coming out the other side a more relaxed and restored version of myself. This was not only good for me, but for my baby and my relationship with my partner as well.

After months of “emergency-level” overwork during COVID, and after having several in-person retreats and vacations canceled, I knew I was near my breaking point. This online and at-home retreat has been as important and useful to me as most any other in-person retreat I’ve been a part of.

It is really up to you. The invitation is for you to rest every day - either with a 30 minute yoga nidra meditation or a shorter rest meditation. The aromatic rituals of self-care are designed to be experienced each week of your rest journey.
You will also receive a very short email every day. I have intentionally designed the emails to be beautiful, thoughtful and restful. It will take you under five minutes to digest this content.

Yoga nidra - known as yogic sleep - is a gentle, ancient meditation practice that guides you from your busy outer world to a deep state of resting awareness. It feels like healing nectar for your entire being.
The beautiful thing about yoga nidra is that there is nothing “to do” but simply rest. Impossible to do wrong; everyone can do it.
Practicing yoga nidra regularly:
*soothes and balances the nervous system
*relieves tension and stress, shifts brain waves into a nourishing state of regeneration,
*restores peace and rejuvenation to the whole body
*awakens creativity & increases clarity
*brings you back home to your wisdom, insight, and intuition.
There are many different methods to teaching yoga nidra. The method that I have studied is called Daring to Rest.
When you sign up for the retreat, you’ll receive a Getting Started Guide to yoga nidra meditation.
