BETWEEN THE YEARS

A Space to Breathe Day Retreat

A day to pause. Exhale. Look back. Look forward. And come home to yourself before the new year begins.

There is something different about the days between Christmas and New Year.

The rush has softened. The year is almost over. The next one hasn’t quite begun.

It’s a little pocket of space between what was and what comes next.

And instead of rushing straight into resolutions, new routines and becoming a “new you”, this retreat is an invitation to simply stop for a while.

To breathe.

To notice how far you’ve come.

To let go of some of what you don’t want to carry forward.

And to begin imagining what you do want more of.

Between the Years is a gentle, nourishing day retreat created by Nina Spencer, founder of Space to Breathe™ and The Joyful Rebellion.

No pressure to reinvent yourself.

No “new year, new you.”

No perfectly curated five-year plan required.

Just space to reconnect with yourself and create an intention for the year ahead.

 Your day will include

  • Higher Self Meditation
    A guided meditation to step away from the noise of everyday life and connect with the version of you who already knows what matters.
  • Vision & Intention Setting
    We’ll explore what you want the coming year to feel like — not just what you want to achieve.
  • Vision Board Workshop
    Create something visual to take home with you: a reminder of the life, experiences, feelings and possibilities you want to move towards.
  • Magazines and materials will be provided, although you’re very welcome to bring photographs, words or anything meaningful you’d particularly like to include.
  • Gentle Movement Breaks
    Throughout the day we’ll move, stretch, shake off some of the Christmas slump and reconnect with our bodies. Nothing complicated and absolutely no fitness level required.
  • Space to Breathe™ — Between the Years Edition
    We’ll finish with a special version of the much-loved Space to Breathe experience.

Under the stars of the planetarium dome, you’ll be guided through breath, stillness, awe and reflection, with a special Between the Years twist designed to help you release the year behind you and turn gently towards the one ahead.

A chance to lie beneath a universe of stars and remember:

You don’t need to have everything figured out.

Sometimes you just need enough space to hear yourself again.

 This day is for you if:

Christmas has been lovely but a lot.

You’ve spent much of the year looking after everybody else.

You’re craving some proper time for yourself.

You want to enter the new year intentionally rather than simply tumbling into January.

You love vision boards, reflection, meditation, creativity, stars and meaningful conversation , or you’re simply curious to try something different.

You don’t need to be “good” at meditation.

You don’t need to be flexible.

You don’t need to know what your goals are.

And you definitely don’t need to arrive with your life sorted.

Come exactly as you are.

Bring comfortable clothes, an open mind and perhaps a favourite notebook.

Leave with your vision board, a clearer sense of what matters, and hopefully a little more space inside you for whatever comes next.

BETWEEN THE YEARS

Not a new you.
Just a little more space to come home to the one who was there all along.
