Your body, mind and environment are all pathways to nourish your soul. Come and join us for a weekend that will cleanse these pathways and re-ignite your soul connection.

On this beautiful mini-retreat we seek to nourish your body with dynamic as well as relaxing yin yoga and exquisite plant based gut healthy foods plus a special winter detox themed gut health nutrition talk.

We will nourish your mind through gentle meditation practices and a vision board workshop to create new neural pathways and bring in positive thoughts and intentions for your year ahead.

In addition to all of this, you will be deeply nourished by the stunning beauty of nature around you. Tucked away in the picturesque Kent countryside surrounded by the beautiful energy of magical forests, we will connect you to the well-being of Nature through the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing. This practice known traditionally as Shinrin Yoku is the practice of basking in the atmosphere of the forest and inviting it in through all of you senses. It is a deeply relaxing and healing practice that will nourish and revive.

​Add to this the wonderful sense of belonging as we come together gathering around a fire and feeling the uplifting collective energy of the group through a manifestation fire-pit ceremony.

Your soul is calling for this. Allow it to be nourished.

Food is life. What we put in our body directly impacts on our health and wellbeing. We will be offering healthy, plant based, gluten free nutritious meals that will invigorate and leave you full of energy & life. Think fresh locally sourced ingredients, living nutritious foods, yummy juices & a vibrantly delicious dinner, brunch + snack all made with our magical secret ingredients: passion and love. As a qualified nutritional therapist as well as yoga teacher Mays has emphasised the importance of including a nutritionally balanced nourishing menu and will be on hand throughout to answer any nutritional queries you may have about the meal plans. And of course we are in awe to have the incredible inspiring Lauren Lovatt preparing our culinary delights with lots of her ferments, kombucha & gut healing genius creations.

Tansy (Her Shining Light) is a People Walker and Nature Connector. Tansy is a female empowerment coach, specialising in outdoor coaching and nature connection practices. She coaches women one-to-one walking in Nature. She also holds many workshops, retreats and presentations all centred around Nature connection and personal evolution. Tansy will lead the fire-pit ceremony and will guide us into Nature for a Forest Bathing session followed by an empowering vision board workshop.
