Two day residential retreat workshop

at the Ammerdown retreat centre, Radstock UK

How are you feeling with the recent barrage of incoming energies lately? March brings us  a lunar eclipse just a few days after equinox which is then followed by an intense solar eclipse in Aries. This promises to be a hugely transformational time and on top of all of this we have experiences some very strong solar flares and the largest geomagnetic storm sinbce 2017! All this is pushing you to release as much dense enery as possible in a very short space of time. No easy feat!

With this in mind, our two night retreat has been bought about to help you release, transmute or transform these energies that are no longer in harmony with you.  We will be utilising the elemental energies, known in western spheres as earth, fire, water and earth to help you navigate this enormously transformational period and be your best elevated self!

During our first day together we will be using a fun combination of meditations, sound, movement and much more to explore how the elements effect you physically, emotionally and energetically and helping you to understand your own special personal combination of, and connection to the elements.  We will be looking at Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic traditions of the elements allowing you a broad understanding and help you to discover your own personal resonance to your primary element.

On day two we will be putting what we have discovered into practice to help you release, transform and transmute whatever energetic baggage is holding you back. This promises to be a powerful, yet gentle day using a variety of techniques leaving you feeling balanced and reinvigorated.

We are blessed with magnificent grounds at Ammerdown centre allowing us the opportunity to work with the elements through their expression in nature, engaging in walks or meditations in the woodland and open countryside surrounding the venue. A special treat will be the chance to engage in a group walking meditation in the beautiful Ammerdown Labyrinth, a truly moving experience. (Outdoor activites are, of course, weather dependant!)

Our time together aims to not just connect you to the elements but to a wonderful group of like minded people. With ample time to socialise and connect, or to relax and reflect in peaceful surroundings, we hope you will be leaving with new understanding, renewed vigour and maybe some new friends.  

 An exciting evening with Louise Hedges is also included. Louise is a wonderfully talented psychic medium who will be joining us for a demonstration of mediumship, bringing forward messages of guidance and support from spirit.
