Charlie & Friends have lovingly teamed up with Solas Retreat to create a unique, one-of-a-kind retreat designed just for bereaved mothers.

This day has been carefully tailored to nurture your body, soothe your mind, and honour your heart in a safe and supportive space surrounded by women who truly understand.

📅 Date: Saturday 15th November

⏰ Time: 8:00am – 4:00pm

📍 Location: Subiaco

💛 Cost: $90 per person (with the remaining cost lovingly absorbed by Charlie & Friends)

This all-inclusive day retreat covers every session, nourishing meal, and therapy—so all you need to do is arrive and allow yourself to be cared for. 🌸

✨ What’s Included ✨

Our retreat is all about nurturing your body, calming your mind, and filling your cup.

🌿 We’ll start the morning gently with a movement and stretch session, followed by breath work to help you feel grounded and present.

💛 A wellbeing coaching session will offer tools and guidance to lighten the weight of everyday stress.

🍎 You’ll enjoy whole-food morning tea, a nourishing lunch, and a delicious afternoon tea shared together in a safe, supportive space.

💆 A soothing 30-minute chair massage will melt away tension.

🕊️ To close, a mindful mask and meditation session will leave you feeling restored, calm, and cared for.

🌸 Why You Should Come Along

As bereaved mothers, we carry so much—grief, love, memories, and the weight of just making it through each day. Life keeps moving, and in the busyness of surviving, caring for others, and simply “being,” we often forget to pause and take care of ourselves.

This retreat is a chance to stop, breathe, and honour your own journey. It’s a safe space where you don’t have to explain your story, because everyone around you understands. Together, we’ll share gentle movement, nourishing food, soothing therapies, and heartfelt conversations.

It’s not about “fixing” grief—it’s about softening the heaviness, finding moments of calm, and reminding ourselves that we are still worthy of joy, connection, and care. You’ll leave not only refreshed but also surrounded by a circle of women who truly get it.

You’ve endured the unimaginable. You deserve this time for you. 💛

✨ What You’ll Take Away ✨

💛 A lighter heart – gentle practices to ease the weight of grief and create space for calm.

🌿 Practical tools – simple techniques in breathwork, movement, and mindfulness you can bring into everyday life.

🤝 Connection – the comfort of knowing you are not alone, and the bonds formed with other mums who truly understand.

🕊️ A sense of peace – moments of stillness, reflection, and self-care that honour both you and your child.

🌸 Nourishment – not just through beautiful food, but through caring for your body, mind, and soul.

✨ Renewal – leaving the day feeling grounded, supported, and reminded of your own strength and resilience.

A Meaningful Crafternoon

We have joined forces with the lovely ladies at strength hero’s to bring you this personalised fun filled afternoon with your children who have suffered the loss of a sibling.

This afternoon will be focused around our emotions and how we can help our little ones regulate their big feelings and staying calm.

The idea is that a parent/s would join in and they would create their Calm products in the workshop.

Each family will take home their Calm creations to help create a calm corner at home. Parents would also have the option of buying the Calm Cards at a discount.

The cost would be $45 dollars per family (one child one adult) which will include some morning tea and beverage.

Please RSVP as places are limited and as always, if you have any questions please reach out
