Join us for a curated weekend with like-souled woman to gather, create, reflect, and reconnect.
Storywork rooted in myth and embodied practice can reach beneath ordinary awareness, awakening deeper layers of consciousness and helping us metabolise, process, and integrate the unseen stresses carried within the body and psyche.
Through the grounding presence of creative practice and shared experience, this women's retreat invites participants into a gentle process of meaningful reflection and authentic connection with self.
'Homecoming' offers a nurturing and thoughtfully held space to explore stories that have the power to shape us as we blend storytelling, weaving and claywork, alongside bodywork, and wholesome nourishment. In the presence of nature we will slow down and listen deeply to ourselves, to one another, and to the wisdom in folk and myth stories with women at the centre. Together, we honour the healing that can emerge when women are witnessed, heard, and held in authentic community.
We welcome women who are navigating change, seeking renewal, longing for creative expression, or simply wanting space to pause and reconnect. It is an invitation to slow down, gather in circle, around fire, and return to the stories carried within.
No artistic experience is needed — only a willingness to arrive as you are.
Over the weekend, you can expect an invitation to experience:
Therapeutic storytelling and reflective conversations exploring the Celtic myth of the 'Selkie’s lost Skin', and Serbian folk tale of 'The Woman who became a Fox'
Weaving and clay-based creative practices integrating stories with self-exploration
Guided visualisations and mindfulness
Nervous system regulation and grounding bodywork practices
Opportunities for rest, connection, and personal insight
A compassionate, trauma-informed group environment
