'WHERE WE GATHER' SACRED PAUSE RETREAT
16-18TH OCTOBER 2026
Join us for a nurturing retreat that gives you permission to embrace a sacred pause. Take a moment to slow down as the seasons change and align with their rhythm. Together, let’s gently explore the stillness within us and celebrate this beautiful time of honoring our wisdom and connecting with our hearts.
£450 per person
There's a place in the West Sussex countryside tucked between the trees where time moves a little slower. Where the air feels softer, and something inside you loosens without you even noticing.
A place that feels strangely familiar — as if you've been waiting to return to it. Here, mornings drift in with birdsong, evenings glow golden, and the quiet holds you the way the world rarely does.
If you've tried the meditation app, journaling, and yoga classes but still feel that something deeper is calling to you, this experience is for you - its more than a retreat, it's a remembering.

The Sacred Weaver
A Yearlong Shamanic Journey of Remembering, Reclaiming, Weaving & Becoming
It starts as a quiet whisper, but lately, that internal voice has been getting louder. It is a persistent, restless feeling that the life you are living is too small for the soul inside you.
You look around at the mainstream world—the constant hustle, the superficial distractions, the rigid expectations—and you realize you are tired of it. You are weary of a culture that feels disconnected from the earth, disconnected from deeper meaning, and completely out of alignment with the natural rhythms of life.
You know you are ready to break free and try something entirely new. But knowing you want change and knowing how to navigate it are two different things. You don't have to figure it out alone. You just need a grounded structure, a supportive community, and the timeless medicine of the elements.
Reconnect with the Forces That Form You
Stepping away from the mainstream view can feel isolating, but you are never truly unsupported. The Sacred Weaver is a yearlong commitment designed to strip away modern programming and plug you directly back into the foundational elements of existence.
-
Across twelve months, you will partner with the primal forces of nature to channel your restless energy into practical, profound personal power.
FIRE: FIND THE THREAD
May 6th-9th
What is calling you? “What thread of my soul is asking to be followed?”
The Medicine: Listening.
The Journey: Ignite your transformation by burning away the numbing fog of mainstream expectations. You will learn to quiet the noise, establish a safe daily practice, and use the drum beat to safely enter altered states and meet your helping spirits.
WATER; GATHER THE THREADS
June 10th-13th
What belongs to me, what has been lost, and what am I ready to reclaim? “Which threads am I carrying that are not mine—and which threads of myself have I forgotten?”
The Medicine: Reclamation.
The Journey: Dive beneath the surface of your personal history. Navigate the deep currents of your emotions to wash away outdated programming, heal ancestral patterns, and safely reclaim the parts of yourself that have been frozen or forgotten.
AIR: WEAVING THE PATTERN
July 1st-4th
What wants to be created through me? “What pattern am I here to weave?”
The Medicine: Purpose.
The Journey: Clear the mental clutter and wildly expand your vision. Bring clarity and spiritual discernment to your natural gifts as you learn to connect deeply with nature allies, set clear energetic boundaries, and see how your life forms a beautiful, purposeful tapestry.
EARTH: BECOMING THE WEAVER
September 16th-19th
Can I live what I have learned? “How will I carry the medicine into the world?”
The Medicine: Embodiment.
The Journey: Ground your medicine firmly into physical reality. Bring your practice down from the clouds and integrate it into your ordinary everyday life—your modern work, your relationships, and your community—living in right relationship with all of existence.
