“…Thank you for a wonderful weekend. It was brilliantly organised, a lovely atmosphere and such high quality yoga, sound baths, food and venue. Thanks for being such warm hosts…”
“What a wonderful weekend with lovely people! Yoga, sound baths, brilliant workshops, walking in the woods, foraging for mushrooms, poking round old churches, & more yoga. With regular breaks for stuffing my face with delicious vegan food! 
It was just what I needed, when I needed it 
Thanks to Julie & Soesen for bringing it (& us) all together & Henry for keeping us well fed!”
“Thank you for creating and holding such a safe, calm restful space this weekend. There was no pressure, many wonderful sessions to choose from, and time and space to unwind and relax.”
“The nourishment physically and spiritually was superb. Delicious food cooked with care and skill, yoga with the best, most patient teacher who differentiates for every participant – allowing all to find their own best practise – and sonic bliss with the only soundbaths I have every attended that pay attention to musical phrasing. Each session is like a new sound symphony, you create the most wonderful soundworld every time.”
“I felt 500 yrs younger after your yoga Julie.”
“Loved the space to be, to share company or wander alone and feel so so much better for it. Huge thanks to you all for your immense hard work and talents. What a team.”
The weekend will provide you with a complete immersion of sound, yoga and healing for the mind, body and soul.
We will be allowing ourselves to go within to find peace, stillness and healing, enabling deep connection, shedding of external negative factors, bringing alignment, clearing and energising effects to the body and soul. This is a brilliant opportunity for finding our own inner wisdom, working with the darkness within us all in order to experience the light and connecting with our natural cycles.
