Gather & Reeset: The Golden Equinox
by the gather | wed 17th - mon 22nd sept ‘25
Grounding. Illuminating. Restorative.
Join us in Mallorca this September for a transformative women’s retreat, where the golden light of late summer meets the balance of the Autumn Equinox. This is a sacred time to pause, reflect, and realign as the seasons shift—an invitation to Gather in sisterhood, reset your energy, and step into a new chapter with clarity and purpose.
Nestled in Mallorca’s serene landscape, you’ll experience soul-nourishing rituals, embodied movement, deep rest, and connection. Through meditative practices, journaling, sound therapy and nature immersions, we’ll honor the Equinox’s harmony of light and dark, embracing renewal and inner balance.
Step into the Golden Equinox - a space for growth, reflection, and empowerment. It’s time to Gather, REESET and glow.
The Gather Retreats are exclusive to those who identify as women, to centre shared experiences.
EMBODIED YOGA & FREEING PRACTICE
We begin each day gently, with our morning circle either outside, surrounded by swaying palms, or in the sunrise-filled yoga shala. With the first light of day, we’ll settle into stillness, calming the mind to the soothing sounds of nature.
Throughout the retreat, we’ll gather in women’s connection circles, creating a space for movement, shared reflection, and collective energy. Our evening practices provide a grounding and restorative close to each day. Designed for all levels, these holistic sessions align body, mind, and spirit, inviting you to move with intention and presence.
Our somatic practices focus on conscious movement—tuning into the internal energy shifts, feeling deeply into the body, and honouring the present moment. Our sessions are tailored to all bodies and experience levels.
Sound healing
Sound Bath Meditation is the practice of clearing the mind and deepening relaxation using live sound and music. You'll be lying down (or seated if you prefer) with the option of using cushions, blankets and eye masks to enhance your relaxed state. There is nothing for you to do except rest.
We’ll end two of our evenings bathing in sound. As the stars begin to twinkle, let the soothing vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes wash over you, melting away tension and bringing deep relaxation. This magical session is designed to complement our holistic approach, combining the physical release of movement and the insightful guidance of workshops.
Throughout the retreat, our movement sessions will help you connect with your body, releasing physical stress and fostering a sense of inner peace. Our circles will help you gain clarity and embrace your true self. In the evening, sound healing weaves these experiences together, quieting the mind and opening the heart.
GUIDED HIKE
Our half-day hike is the perfect opportunity to truly embrace Mediterranean life. We begin in the beautiful fishing village of Cala Figuera and wander our way along the coastline, to the white sand beach of Cala S’Amarador.
Cala Figuera is a charming fishing village located on the southeastern coast. Known for its picturesque beauty, it features a stunning natural harbour with crystal-clear waters, traditional golden-washed houses, and colourful fishing boats. The village has retained much of its authentic charm, making it an escape from the more touristy parts of the island. We start here in one our favourite cafe’s lining the cobblestone streets.
Cala S'Amarador is a stunning beach located within the Mondragó Natural Park. Renowned for its pristine natural beauty, it boasts fine white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and a backdrop of lush pine forests and dunes. It's one of the most unspoiled beaches on the island, making it a favourite for nature lovers and we’ll have time for a swim!
ME TIME
There’ll be plenty of time each day to do your own thing—whether that’s journalling, connecting, wandering, or simply napping in the sun.
Bring along your journal and your favourite book to relax by one of our two pools with.
Or take out one of our bicycles (helmets provided) for the 6km ride to our local beach, the stunning Es Trenc. It’s a beautiful ride, passing horses and the occasional peacock en-route.
And if you really want to get active, we have recommended hikes, bike routes, boat hires…you name it. We got you.
Autumn is one of the most resplendent seasons on the island. It is long and luxurious, a time of renewal on Mallorca. A time of revival, harvest and preservation. A time to reconnect to the land, to rethink our contribution to this world and to indulge in a warm Mediterranean water that feels like silk on the skin.

YOUR RETREAT HOST
Deanne Oliver-Pickard
FOUNDER OF THE GATHER & RETREAT LEADER
The Gather is an inspiring women’s community, founded by Deanne Oliver-Pickard in January 2022 off the back of coming out of the weirdness of lockdown and wanting to re-connect with wonderful women, to share stories, to find a tribe and to create a platform for solidarity and support.
“The Gather is exactly that - a place to Gather, to meet, to connect, to share, listen, support and just be, with like-minded souls.”
The Gather retreats are a place to share, to move, to feel, to be authentically you.
