A Series of Holistic Health Retreats – INSPIRED by the Elements
“INSPIRATION opens the door to our souls. Allow yourself to be inspired, and watch your world open up.” – G. Brian Benson
To be “inspired” means to be “in Spirit”. When we live an inspired life, all that we hope to achieve and experience comes to us from a place of joy and flow, rather than a place of resistance.
Our INSPIRED series of Online Holistic Health Day Retreats (more info below) hope to provide you with all you need to feel inspired in every aspect of your life.

About the Different Holistic Health Modalities:
Each day retreat offers a unique blend of healing modalities and practical tools and experiential elements to support your holistic health journey:
Holistic Health Tips and Tools – Tailored to the theme of each day retreat, the holistic tips and tools offer practical and holistic ways to create a sustainable change in your life.
Yoga Classes, Breathing Practices and/or Yoga Nidra – The yoga classes will be accessible and beginner-friendly. Movements in each session aim to relax the body, reduce stress and improve range of motion. Structured breathing practices will be incorporated into some of the days to help access inner calm, and quiet the mind. Relaxation practices, like yoga nidra, will also be included for an experience of deep rest. Yoga nidra is a restful practice that encourages a state of relaxation by lowering brainwave states to ones where healing and rejuvenation can occur.
Distance Reiki, FunFitness and/or FitFood Recipes – Reiki is powerful energy healing session aimed to clear blockages, balance your energy, and promote deep relaxation that can be experienced even over a distance. FunFitness is an exercise class created by Anri that aims to help you find your “Fun” in “Fitness”. These classes are energising and uplifting. Another one of Anri’s creations is “FitFood”. These are a series of healthy recipes that you will be able to use to create your own delicious meals for each of the day retreats, and at anytime you feel!
This retreat series is designed to help you release the tension of modern life, cultivate lasting relaxation, and create routines that support your health and well-being. Whether you’re seeking a deeper sense of peace, need to recharge, or are looking for sustainable ways to manage stress and healthy habits, our INSPIRED series will leave you feeling refreshed, restored, refilled and inspired.
History of Anri & Cassandra Collabs
Anri & Cassandra met in April 2023 and began their collaborative journey with a series of 3-hour Holistic Health Workshops that focused on weight loss, intuitive eating, gut health, detoxing and stress solutions.
From 2024, Anri & Cassandra wanted to provide a more in-depth experience and began hosting overnight retreats and day retreats. These were extremely transformative for the participants, and deeply nourishing.
In October 2024, Anri moved to the Netherlands. This move sparked a series of new retreats to take place online, with the first one titled, “Inspired Rest”. They now continue their journey into 2025 with an online series of INSPIRED day retreats.
“The experience was enlightening. Feeding my mind, body & sould (my cup runneth over)! I am glad I took this opportunity to focus on me.”
– Lara, April 2024 Retreat
