Saturday 7th November 2026, 10 am -5 pm
Maximum 8 participants
You have held responsibility, carried vision, and navigated different worlds with skill.
You have spent years adapting to others, shaping yourself to fit, and are ready to return home to you.
You sense a gap between the person you are and the work you are putting out into the world. You feel a rising within you, but you don’t yet have the space or permission to let it move.
There is a part of you that is not polite, not contained, and not convenient. The part that knows what it wants, feels what it feels, and refuses to stay quiet any longer.
You are ready for more of you.
This is not a day where you simply learn techniques. It is a return to your inner knowing. Through conscious dance, breathwork, creative expression, and the elemental wisdom of the land, you will awaken your body’s intelligence and your soul’s voice.This is the space to stop adapting. To come home to yourself. Fully, unapologetically, at last.
This is for the visionary, the creative, the healer who feels a rising within them, but doesn’t yet have the space or permission to let it move.
Especially for those who have spent years holding space for others, adapting to meet them, and are ready to return to come home to themselves. Fully, unapologetically, at last.
You’ve been competent, capable, and respected. You’ve held responsibility and carried vision. But you sense a gap between the person you are and the work you’re putting out into the world.
We begin by coming home to your body, your breath, your ground.
Slowing down enough to listen to our bodies again.
We connect to our inner fire.
From there, into the deeper currents of the heart.
The emotions held in your body, not as stories to analyze, but as energy that can be moved, expressed, and transformed.
This is where sensitivity becomes strength.
And finally, the wild voice.
Giving shape and sound to your longings, visions, and truth.
This is where you liberate your voice, your joy, and your creative power.
A felt sense of your own ground, even under pressure.
The freedom to express yourself more fully, without apology or performance.
A deeper trust in your emotional landscape and intuitive wisdom.
A renewed connection to your creative flow and the joy of making work that is truly yours
We will gather in a beautiful rural setting of the beautiful Stroud Slad Valley, surrounded by nature, with a spacious yurt that has a wooden floor, warmed with a wood burner as our shared space for movement, reflection and connection.
Warmed by a wood burner, the yurt offers an intimate environment to slow down and reconnect. Outside, there is space to gather around the fire, share stories and enjoy the beauty of the autumn landscape and views of the Stroud Slad Valley. Five minutes away is a walk into leafy woods and a local viewpoint.
