21 Days of Rest

A Daring to Rest Journey

Come home to yourself through deep rest & aromatic rituals of self-care.

Tired and worn out? There’s a remedy for that.

It’s called rest.

21-Days of Rest takes you on a journey from worn out to more rested.

Rest is radical - particularly in a world that is obsessed with doing and productivity.

21-Days of Rest is a self-directed rest program experienced in the cozy comfort of your own home - designed to easily fit into your life.

You will experience a gentle, ancient meditation practice - called yoga nidra - that guides you from your busy outer world to a deep state of relaxation and resting awareness.

You’ll receive thoughtful and inspiring daily guidance and weekly practices to easefully weave the medicine of rest & aromatic self-care into your daily life.

Fill your cup with rest and aromatic rituals of self-care.

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.

“21 Days of Rest helped me to get back into a daily rest routine. I love that there is a 15 and 35 minute option for resting. I am so glad I purchased the self-care kit! I've used the rest balm every night before going to sleep, and again in the middle of the night when I wake up. It helped me get back to sleep. And the bath salts were absolutely amazing!”

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.

    -Madeleine, Career advisor & mama

  • Shelagh's presence and integrity create an intuitive and deeply nourishing rest journey. Her guidance invites you to come home to self with ease. At the end of her meditations, I arrive feeling centered, aligned, and expansive.

    -Leisha Laird, Flourish Wellness

  • 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.

    -Helen Svoboda-Barber, Leadership Coach & Episcopal priest

  • 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.

  • I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
