Day Retreats

At the turning points of the seasonal wheel, where the energies of the earth subtly shift, I am gathering the community for deeply devotional, ritual days of Love, stillness and beauty for True healing, nourishment, transmutation & transformation.

This is a sacred call. To remember who we are and why we came here - to deepen into our Self beyond the personal and discover how we can live what's Real in our everyday lives.

We come together at these pivotal turning points in the year to harness the energy of the seasons and align with the subtle energy and pulse of Mother Earth. We will gather in ritual, meditation, somatic movement-meditation, intimacy, circle, sharing, pair-work, music and nature connection to awaken and embody our True nature.
 
We will have periods of silence over each day retreat, so we can rest deeper in the sweet Silence of our Being.
All that is required is an open heart and the willingness to meet yourself all the way to the Ground.

​Weekend Retreats are held annually in the UK and abroad. No dates set for 2026 at this point.

The benefits of attending an in-person retreat:
  • We enter an open space of learning and discovery - who we truly are, how to be ourselves and the tools to deepen in Truth and authenticity.
  • We have the opportunity to engage with ourselves and each other - communing and communicating, sharing our space, our thoughts and feeling, sharing our Truth. We allow ourselves to 'see' and 'be seen'.
  • We engage the whole of us – body, mind, and heart. Not just the mind that wants to acquire knowledge.
  • It is a place where we can be in the sanctuary of our own silence and in the sanctuary of being with like-minded beings on the path.
  • A place where all of you – human and divine – is welcome
  • Embracing the whole human experience – becoming fully awake and fully alive

I look forward to meeting you in the Heart of Being and accompanying your journey home to wholeness. 

with love

HOLY HUMAN 
Embodying our Real Nature as Love
 
Please register your interest - dates TBC
​

A day retreat into Being Truly Human, rebirthing ourselves in Love for true nourishment, healing, transmutation & transformation
 
​Are you longing for a True, more meaningful life?
One that is lived from the Heart, rooted deeply in the body and recognises your soul calling? 

Do you feel unable to truly Be Yourself?  Do you long to feel whole, joyful, fulfilled and deeply at rest in yourself?


If the answer is yes to some of these questions, then you're in the right place!  During our time together, will be with the 3 Pillars of ‘The True Way’: Sacred Silence, Sacred Movement & Sacred Knowledge, a spontaneous flow of yoga, deep rest, meditation, authentic movement, creative expression, self-inquiry, questions, insight and sharing.  An opportunity to rest, absorb, feel and fully allow what is arising in honesty and to enquire into to the Truth of Reality.  

Together we meet in the natural, open discovery for the Realisation of Truth, in the holy remembrance of the Pure Light of Love that we are, the naturalness of Being.  There will be space for contemplation, integration, being in nature, reflection and a delicious, organic vegetarian lunch.

VALLEY OF WOMAN 
Embracing the 
Depths - Deep Intimacy with Life 
Please register your interest - dates TBC

A full day retreat into the ‘Valley of Woman’ – Women’s Wisdom Circle & Initiation.  Places are limited for an intimate journey together into Her, the Feminine, the Power of Creation itself. 

Are you ready to expand your understanding of yourself as a woman within the loving container of deep sisterhood?   What does it mean to be a True woman in this world?

Women are valleys. We are not meant to push, to strive in the way that we were taught.  Our essence is pure receptivity. Deep relaxation is our true nature. We are not here to hold life, nor direct it. We are the essence of Life. 

Nourishing womb yoga - deep rest - authentic movement - self-enquiry - nature connection - sacred ceremony - menstrual cycle wisdom - spiritual guidance - healing - divine transmission

The invitation is to come together for a profound awakening and rewiring at this crucial time in history – discovering what it is to be a True Woman in this world. To deepen into the Ground of Being, open and soften into Her, be at deep rest in in the body, growing in our sensitivity, receptivity, openness, humility, radical self-love and allowing strength to be born through our vulnerability.

Immerse - Receive - Rest - Absorb - Bathe - Surrender - Allow


"Immerse in the Glory of your own Self, the Light of Wholeness"
