March 22-24, 2024​
A time to really pause and enjoy time to connect to yourself, to nature, to other like-minded women. To appreciate these moments that lift our spirits and help us to align with the beautiful energy that flows through us and all around us to help us plant the seeds that we want to nourish and grow as we move into spring.

If you are feeling like you need time away from it all, are craving to be in nature, or take some time to connect back to yourself; we invite you to set aside your many roles, responsibilities, to do lists and worries and take time to pause with us for a moment.

Come and join us on a spiritual journey a the enchanted St. Nectan's glen where the sacred waters meet the lush woodland.  Spend the weekend immersed in nature, in light and airy accommodation overlooking the trees surrounded by bird song and the sound of running water.  Join us in daily yoga practices deepening your connection with the divine goddesses of transformation, abundance and creativity,  allow the waterfall to revitalise you and nourish your intentions, sit in circle as we reclaim and reconnect to the power that resides in all of us...

You wont be able to help but disconnect from the day to day and feel the nourishment to body and soul.  Our hope is for you to feel your energy levels rise and feel a greater sense of connection with the earth, with yourself and those around you.
