Sound Gong Bath
A Sound / Gong Bath is a vibrational healing sensation that helps still the mind and soothe the soul. It can be an unforgettable experience for those who seek deep relaxation, rejuvenation and an acceleration of their inward journey. Time is suspended as you enter a world of vibration, sensation and experiences. Physical injuries may be healed, and old emotional traumas may be released. People may often find resolutions to emotional issues during this time.
This journey gives you the opportunity to explore yourself in a deeper level of consciousness. The healing vibrational sounds helps the physical and emotional states within the body to re-align and repair. This allows your body to find a natural calmness whilst allowing for space for insights and thoughts. You can feel truly, vibrantly alive. Once you’ve had your first Sound Bath you’ll want more.
Sound Therapy is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation, but it also has a way of moving through energy blockages in the body. The journey has been known to help ease many conditions such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, sleep disorders, MS, pain and autism. The sound healing vibrations help to release stress, allowing the whole body to enter into a deep relaxation of harmony and joyfulness.
Everything on Earth is made up from sound vibrations and each person is believed to have their own vibrational footprint. During a sound bath the aim is to help relax your body and mind so that you can experience the sound waves washing over you.
Most of the instruments are played from one place, however, occasionally they may be brought around the room and played over your body.
Please wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket and cushion to be warm and comfortable. Most people lie down during a Sound Bath, whereas some choose to sit in a comfortable chair.
No prior experience, effort or practice is required to participate. All welcome, However, please note sound therapy is not recommended for people with pacemakers or pregnant ladies in their 1st trimester. If you have any illnesses or aliments and are unsure if this experience will be suitable for you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Women’s Circle and EcoNIDRA
As you step over the threshold into Circle space, you will have a sense of leaving the outside world at the door. You will be met with a warm welcome as you enter the space. Your senses will be met with evocative music and the smell of essential oils fragrancing the air.
As women, we often wear various masks and play diverse roles, absorbing the energies of those around us. Circle serves as a sacred space where you can shed those masks, release the roles, and leave behind the energies you've been carrying for others. It's a place to be witnessed exactly as you are, free from judgment, without any attempts to 'fix' you. We don't offer advice; instead, we trust that each woman present is the heroine of her own story.
In a world where spaces for women to retreat, be nourished, and experience collective care are scarce, Circle stands out as a rare sanctuary.
The structure of my Circles is straightforward:
1 I introduce myself.
2 I invite you to introduce yourself.
3 There will be some poetry.
4 Meditation follows.
5 An opportunity for open sharing.
6 The Circle gently closes.
Feel free to share as much or as little as you like; all that's asked is to listen with an open heart. To maintain an intimate atmosphere, I limit attendance to ten participants. Keep an eye out for an email from me 24 hours before the event, and if you don't find it, please check your junk mail!
I can’t wait to welcome you over the threshold.
Once we have closed our Circle we will then embark on the final journey of the day with a beautiful and restorative EcoNIDRA practice. Eco-Nidra™ is more than just a meditation; it's a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. Studies have shown that just one session equals the rejuvenation of 3-4 hours of restful sleep. In our busy modern lives, we often neglect the deep rest we truly need. Eco-Nidra™ helps us unwind, release tension, and discover a profound sense of peace. The real beauty of it is that it's accessible to everyone, even if meditation is a completely new concept to you or it's something you've struggled to do previously. All that is required of you is to lie down and listen to my voice.
In each session, we travel together on a triple journey; the first is a journey into our senses, the second is a pilgrimage through our bodies and the third takes us into the natural world through a specially curated soundscape. Each EcoNIDRA session lasts between 45-50 minutes and it's best practiced in the Shavasana position - lying down on your back.
What sets Eco-Nidra™ apart is its unique gift of reconnecting us to the natural world, reminding us that we are part of the interconnected web of life. It cultivates eco-consciousness, plants seeds of transformation and encourages acts of kindness.

I AM Transmission Workshop
WHAT ARE I AM TRANSMISSIONS?
The I AM Transmissions, channeled by Ali Gowdridge, work with the Christ Consciousness grid of the planet (also known as the planetary light grids) to anchor higher vibrational frequencies for personal and collective transformation.
An I AM Transmission is a download of higher light, love, codes, wisdoms, frequencies pour into the room and layer though the four bodies - Emotional, Mental, Physical and Spiritual. This then works to Cleanse, Bathe, Transform and Active our fields and consciousness with higher frequencies of light.
These are profound spiritual experiences of immense love, pure wisdom and intelligence moving to awaken inner Soul Love.
The I AM Transmissions have created phenomenal transformation for thousands of people over the years. They are an invitation for souls who seek accelerated healing, strengthening of connection with the other realms and spontaneous activation of inner gifts.

This transformative experience will help you reconnect with your inner self and find deep relaxation. Embrace this opportunity to restore balance and harmony within.
Please be aware that some practices have health contraindications.
In Part 1 - YIN Yoga
Kasia will guide you through some gentle energy exercise aligned with the season of Spring and the Wood Element.

All this will relax your nervous system and prepare you for some deeper work with sound and breath in parts 2 and 3.
In Part 2 - Breathwork
Patrycja will invite you on a journey to connect deeply with your breath. Through gentle and calming techniques, we will work on regulating the nervous system, helping you find inner peace and emotional balance. The practices will be based on the natural flow and intelligence of your breath, allowing you to tap into its healing power. We will focus on expanding your awareness of the body and the subtle sensations that arise with each breath, bringing you into the present moment. As you explore the rhythm of your own breath, you will cultivate a deeper sense of connection, release tension, and promote relaxation.
Please note that breathwork may have health contraindications for some individuals. Familiarizing yourself with this list of contraindications and the accompanying disclaimer is mandatory before participating in the breathwork session.

As the session begins, gentle sounds will guide you into deep relaxation, quieting the mind and releasing tension from the body.
The harmonic frequencies will help you enter a meditative state, where emotions and energy blockages may start to naturally dissolve. By the end of the session, you will feel refreshed, balanced and deeply at peace.

I AM Transmission Workshop
WHAT ARE I AM TRANSMISSIONS?
The I AM Transmissions, channeled by Ali Gowdridge, work with the Christ Consciousness grid of the planet (also known as the planetary light grids) to anchor higher vibrational frequencies for personal and collective transformation.
An I AM Transmission is a download of higher light, love, codes, wisdoms, frequencies pour into the room and layer though the four bodies - Emotional, Mental, Physical and Spiritual. This then works to Cleanse, Bathe, Transform and Active our fields and consciousness with higher frequencies of light.
These are profound spiritual experiences of immense love, pure wisdom and intelligence moving to awaken inner Soul Love.
The I AM Transmissions have created phenomenal transformation for thousands of people over the years. They are an invitation for souls who seek accelerated healing, strengthening of connection with the other realms and spontaneous activation of inner gifts.
We have entered a new era of consciousness where healing & growth has transformed, and so has our ability to work with higher consciousness and energies.

Sabbat Imbolc
🌟 Join Us for a Special Sabbat Imbolc Celebration! 🌟
Whether you’re seeking renewal, connection, or simply a moment of peace, this Sabbat Imbolc is a chance to embrace the blessings of this season together.
As the days grow longer and the light returns, we gather to celebrate the beauty of renewal, life, and connection. This Sabbat, we invite you to join us in honouring the sacred rhythm of the seasons and the spirit of hope that comes with the return of light.
Imbolc is a Gaelic festival that marks the beginning of spring. It is celebrated in the first days of February, between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. This date symbolises the purification and rebirth of Mother Earth, which begins to show the first signs of its awakening after the long sleep from the cold of winter. It is a time of celebration in the light of the Sun, which was reborn in Winter Solstice and begins to strengthen, warming again and gradually illuminating nature.
In some traditions, Imbolc becomes the time of celebration of the Goddess who ends her period of rest after the birth of the solar child and begins to wake up renewed with its light and warmth that brings life.
🕯 For this celebration you will be invited to: ✨ A warm and welcoming community of like-minded people ✨ Rituals and reflections to honour light and life ✨
⁃ Songs and stories to uplift our spirit
⁃ Woven your own Brigid cross symbolising protection, creativity, inner strength, life and abundance.
⁃ A display of candle light to reflect on the increasing daylight
⁃ A soothing herbal foot spa- a great way to cleanse stagnant energy and renewal
⁃ Write a short poem, an intention for spring or a message of gratitude
⁃ Shamanic grain self-healing circle
⁃ Feed the soil to manifest the abundance we need and deserve
⁃ Fire Circle cleansing
⁃ Kundalini Breath of 🔥 Fire
⁃ Candle gazing meditation- (Trataka meditation to enhance internal connection and clarity)
⁃ A toast to the goddess within us, savour a unique goddess’s drink recipe, filled with joy and gratitude
⁃ Offerings and gifts to Mother Nature
We’ll combine Fire and Water elements to channel healing energies to support us with:
⁃ Emotional imbalance
⁃ Energy cleansing
⁃ Release of anger and deep fears
⁃ Restore energy to create and manifest abundance
⁃ Surrender to our inner power to unite with the divine within us - union of the self.
Let’s kindle the flame of hope and joy as we welcome the light back into our lives.
💫 All are welcome! Bring your friends and family.
I can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Om Shanti and blessings of light.

Participants will learn about not only the benefits of using the sauna but also the amplified benefits of suddenly shifting the body from hot to cold. Cold water pods will be on hand for people to take the cold plunge before reentering the Sauna.
The session will start with a welcome introduction and some simple breath work will be included to help relax the mind and body. This will be covered for the first half hour, then sauna and cold pod use will follow for the next hour.

Jewellery Play Date
Back by popular demand… It's our Jewellery Play Date in collaboration with Jo from Willow Moon Jewellery.
Donation based (suggested £5)
It's time to dig out your old jewellery, broken clasps, lost earrings or pieces you no longer wear anymore, as we're coming together to make other people's trash your new treasure! ✨
Jo is an experienced jeweller/silversmith and will be guiding us through creating new and unique designs by using basic beading, threading and wire techniques. At the end of this relaxing craft session you'll have a new piece of jewellery to take home, all made from recycling those we no longer wear or use.
The play date was super popular last year, and we've no doubt it will quickly fill up. Secure your place and book by emailing Jo at willowmoonjewellery@gmail.com

Women’s Circle and EcoNIDRA
As you step over the threshold into Circle space, you will have a sense of leaving the outside world at the door. You will be met with a warm welcome as you enter the space. Your senses will be met with evocative music and the smell of essential oils fragrancing the air.
As women, we often wear various masks and play diverse roles, absorbing the energies of those around us. Circle serves as a sacred space where you can shed those masks, release the roles, and leave behind the energies you've been carrying for others. It's a place to be witnessed exactly as you are, free from judgment, without any attempts to 'fix' you. We don't offer advice; instead, we trust that each woman present is the heroine of her own story.
In a world where spaces for women to retreat, be nourished, and experience collective care are scarce, Circle stands out as a rare sanctuary.
The structure of my Circles is straightforward:
1 I introduce myself.
2 I invite you to introduce yourself.
3 There will be some poetry.
4 Meditation follows.
5 An opportunity for open sharing.
6 The Circle gently closes.
Feel free to share as much or as little as you like; all that's asked is to listen with an open heart. To maintain an intimate atmosphere, I limit attendance to ten participants. Keep an eye out for an email from me 24 hours before the event, and if you don't find it, please check your junk mail!
I can’t wait to welcome you over the threshold.
Once we have closed our Circle we will then embark on the final journey of the day with a beautiful and restorative EcoNIDRA practice. Eco-Nidra™ is more than just a meditation; it's a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. Studies have shown that just one session equals the rejuvenation of 3-4 hours of restful sleep. In our busy modern lives, we often neglect the deep rest we truly need. Eco-Nidra™ helps us unwind, release tension, and discover a profound sense of peace. The real beauty of it is that it's accessible to everyone, even if meditation is a completely new concept to you or it's something you've struggled to do previously. All that is required of you is to lie down and listen to my voice.
In each session, we travel together on a triple journey; the first is a journey into our senses, the second is a pilgrimage through our bodies and the third takes us into the natural world through a specially curated soundscape. Each EcoNIDRA session lasts between 45-50 minutes and it's best practiced in the Shavasana position - lying down on your back.
What sets Eco-Nidra™ apart is its unique gift of reconnecting us to the natural world, reminding us that we are part of the interconnected web of life. It cultivates eco-consciousness, plants seeds of transformation and encourages acts of kindness.

Sound Gong Bath
Sound Therapy is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation, but it also has a way of moving through energy blockages in the body. The journey has been known to help ease many conditions such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, sleep disorders, MS, pain and autism. The sound healing vibrations help to release stress, allowing the whole body to enter into a deep relaxation of harmony and joyfulness.
Everything on Earth is made up from sound vibrations and each person is believed to have their own vibrational footprint. During a sound bath the aim is to help relax your body and mind so that you can experience the sound waves washing over you.
Most of the instruments are played from one place, however, occasionally they may be brought around the room and played over your body.
Please wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket and cushion to be warm and comfortable. Most people lie down during a Sound Bath, whereas some choose to sit in a comfortable chair.
No prior experience, effort or practice is required to participate.

Mindfulness Meditation & More
Throughout history, a maze has not just been about solving a puzzle but has also formed the basis of a labyrinth for walking meditation, for finding inner peace and to find a way through silence to inner truth..
The Elephant Rooms has recently acquired a floor maze that fits the upstairs studio. Its design is as a labyrinth in that there is a centre to reach. You are invited to explore the maze mindfully and silently, aided by meditation prompts along the way. This activity will begin and end with the usual body/mind relaxations,
I look forward to you exploring the maze with me.

Click here to see a short video of the space we will be using. This video on Instagram was from a previous self love workshop.about letting go and embracing change. As we travel through darker, colder days and nights nature reminds us to let go and trust the natural rhythm of the seasons; the darkness is just as important as the light. We need both, just like the sun and the moon. One cannot exist without the other.
Equally, when it comes to self love, it important to learn to love and accept even the parts of us we may dislike, resist or neglect. It is important to recognise our own shadows and how they serve our growth and development.
This retreat creates space for you acknowledge the dark and light within you, through self love and self compassion.
Quite often in the modern world our yin (receiving, feminine energy) and yang (giving, masculine energy) is out of balance.

Eco-Nidra™ is more than just a meditation; it's a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. Studies have shown that just one session equals the rejuvenation of 3-4 hours of restful sleep. In our busy modern lives, we often neglect the deep rest we truly need. Eco-Nidra™ helps us unwind, release tension, and discover a profound sense of peace. The real beauty of it is that it's accessible to everyone, even if meditation is a completely new concept to you or it's something you've struggled to do previously. All that is required of you is to lie down and listen to my voice.
In each session, we travel together on a triple journey; the first is a journey into our senses, the second is a pilgrimage through our bodies and the third takes us into the natural world through a specially curated soundscape. Each EcoNIDRA session lasts between 45-50 minutes and it's best practiced in the Shavasana position - lying down on your back.
What sets Eco-Nidra™ apart is its unique gift of reconnecting us to the natural world, reminding us that we are part of the interconnected web of life. It cultivates eco-consciousness, plants seeds of transformation and encourages acts of kindness.

Gut Health Mini Retreat
Fed up of feeling bloated, tired and windy?...
Can't quite put your finger on it, but you know something isn't right with your digestion?...
Interested in finding out more about how your whole body health is connected to your gut?...
Want to meet new people (also interested in health and the gut), have a tasty lunch together and learn how to ferment your own vegetables?...
... Trust your gut and join me for this half day mini retreat on gut health, nutrition and fermented foods!
There’s so much buzz around gut health these days, but what does it all mean? How do you cut through all the marketing, health claims and online information to understand this subject? And why would you even want to?
In this workshop, we cover:
What the gut is and how it impacts not just your digestive but your mental and whole body health
What factors lead to poor gut health and what symptoms that might create
How to restore your gut to health and balance your microbiome
A super tasty, gut-healthy, organic, vegetarian lunch
A demo on the beauty and simplicity of making fermented vegetables (and why everyone should!)
A chance to have a go at making your own kraut from a selection of organic ingredients which you will take home and enjoy (when it’s ready)
Held at the beautiful, calming and restorative space that is the Elephant Rooms in Draycott. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we'll have a chance to potter about the gardens, but if not the inside space is warm and welcoming. All manner of herbal (and normal) teas will be available throughout the day. You'll also be treated to a delicious vegetarian lunch (let me know if you have any dietary requirements e.g. allergies or vegan) and snacks.
Don't delay booking your tickets, spaces are limited due to the space available and wanting to keep it quite intimate. Can't wait to see you there!
