We kick off our She Rebel Radio \u2018Summer Retreat Series\u2019 with Naomi Newland, Founder of Rest Fest : A Women\u2019s Wellness festival with over 60 experiences including workshops, speakers and pop up spa\u2019s - the festival is designed by women for women\u2019s health, mental wellness and emotional harmony.\xa0

Naomi shares how she nurtured (and also hid) from the seed of an idea that was Restfest and later turned it into a reality.\xa0
\u201cRestFest was a yearning and one of those \u2018big magic\u2019 ideas that would just not leave me alone\u2026.I felt like it came through me, I would literally dream about it and it kept knocking on the door\u2026.

It\u2019s just magical and brilliant to take something from that seed of an idea into a reality.
\xa0It's a beautiful process\u201d \xa0

Resfest 2020 was cancelled just a week before the UK lockdown and during this episode we discuss all the joys, crisis moments and lessons learnt of being an event organiser before, during and after the pandemic.\xa0
\u201cCancelling the event the day before really built up my fighting spirit. And I think being one of the first events to be impacted. I also felt a little bit of responsibility to be able to do a grace\u201d\xa0

\u201cWe can limit our experiences by trying to verbalise them, words don\u2019t always describe what really happens at a retreat or a festival\u201d\xa0
