Autumn Equinox Retreat Day - Hertfordshire, UK - Sunday 22nd September 2024
So busy taking care of everyone else, we often forget about ourselves. Burnt out, exhausted mothers, wives, entrepreneurs, the list goes on, often all of these roles at once.
We must fill our cup, come from a place of overflowing, rather than squeezing every last drop out of us!
Let's show up the full, sparkly, fun, alive version of ourselves that we know is in their somewhere!
Remember your true self, vibrant and free. It's hard to find the time for a full week long retreat! One day we will take that 10 days deep in the jungles of Bali, but for now, you will be surprised how much you can get out of just a few hours. It really doesn't take much.
You will leave...
- Deeply relaxed, rejuvenated, refreshed
- Fully embodying your true self
- Ready for anything, calm and navigating any storms that blow through your daily life.
- With fresh perspective, your proverbial cup overflowing
- Remembering that you are so loved and supported by the women around you.
An abundant day of self awakening Kundaluna Yoga, Transformational Healing Gong Bath, Chocolate alchemy, Sacred Circle Cacao Ceremony and more!!
As we set the scene and hold space, together we will co-create a magical day. Relax and rejuvenate! Awaken your true wild & wise nature.
Nurture your body and soul with deeply nourishing and nutritious food and our favourite self love practices.
Get ready to drop all the chatter and bullshit, shake things up to let it fall away and reveal the wild beautiful soul that you are.
With some beautifully uplifting and grounding practices cultivate authentic connections, lasting community and emerge in a deeper state of balance and bliss. Show up for yourself and watch the ripples of love, empathy, compassion overflow into your world.

What's it all about?
Kundaluna Yoga
Created by Kerri, Kundaluna sessions tell a story and take you on a journey of self discovery, with mantra, movement, Breathwork and laughter. Kundalini kriyas at the core of the practice. Assisting the release of any stuck or stagnant energy, moving us into a more liberated state of Being.
Just like the tides we are deeply connected to the moon and her cycles, the intention & focus of this masterclass will reflect the lunar energies and the cosmic happenings this Equinox.

The Space
Breathtaking, expansive views surround the studio. Set in the Cassiobury farm and fisheries in the presence of Wolves, flamingoes and all sorts of animals and birds. Maybe you'll meet your spirit animal ;0) The energy here is majestic, the water, the vast property, it feels like you are miles away from the busy city, just 30 mins outside of London. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of this incredible location.
Sound Healing Gong Bath
A sonic journey into the realms of yourself, a unique type of sound practice that involves using therapeutic gong sounds and vibrations to bring about healing. Immersive experience of blissful meditation, which beautifully balances your body, mind and soul at a cellular level.
This is an ancient technology used for thousands of years, to enhance your optimal state of being. Relieves chronic pain, release bliss molecules, find deeper state of peace and harmony in all aspects of your life.

Cacao Ceremony
Cacao is a wonderful plant medicine, gentle and feminine in nature. Originating from Mesoamerica, Mexico, Central America. It has been revered and utilised for thousands of years, by the Mayans, Aztecs and Olmec among many others.
There is an old Mayan story that states that when humanity is out of balance with nature, Cacao will emerge from the forest to bring us back into harmony.
I believe this is why we are hearing so much about it over the past decade, growing in popularity. It is vital that we continue the journey with deep connection to the ritual, roots and medicine of this beautiful and sacred plant.
When we gather in sacred circle together, it is ceremony, in this deeply conscious ritual, connecting with intention.
Free Guided Meditation
Enjoy this short meditation to help deepen your relaxation after yoga practise or before bed. Anytime really! You will be guided into a state of surrender and flow and connect to the element fire for transformation. Burn away blockages, connect to your solar plexus to ignite your true passion, find your purpose and get out of your own way to create what wants to be birthed through you! You divine and beautiful creature!
I love you! Have fun xx
