Somerset.
Approximately 30 minutes from Glastonbury.
Step out of day to day life and gather together with kindred spirits, to awaken to our true nature.
Through mindful movement, body and breath awareness and deepening our connection with the land and spirit through the sacred heartbeat of the drum.
Under the care and attention of Natalie, an experienced and fully qualified Yoga teacher of more than a decade, and Karen, a psychotherapist, Reiki master, shamanic practitioner and breath work facilitator, you will be guided to discover, experience and grow into your wholeness. Laying foundations and sending our roots down deep so we may flourish from a place of security, stability and a true knowing of our essence.
If you are feeling the call:
o For self-care and seek help to transcend old habits, unconscious patterns and limited way of being.
o To nurture and nourish your body through movement and breath.
o To deepen your connection with nature, the land and our tree kin.
o To embody rather than just take in theory.
o To connect to the seen and unseen realms.
o To commune with nature and the universe.
o To rest and drop out of daily routine and responsibility.
o To feel empowered, building your trust in your own intuition and healing capacities.
o To meet like-minded folk in beautiful, private surroundings.
This retreat is for you.
From our time together you can expect:
o Daily Yoga practices suitable for beginners to the experienced. With lots of options offered so you can work to your own level and to how you feel at the time.
o Guided Shamanic journeys on the drum beat, leading us to uncover gems of insight and wisdom.
o Creating talismans to take with you to use back out in day to day life.
o Guided meditations to soothe the nervous system and connect you with your centre of calm.
o Ceremony, ritual and labyrinth experience.
o Guided breathwork practices to ground, uplift and energise.
o Community. A place with no judgement, where you are welcome exactly as you are. Being seen, heard and witnessed.
o Time and space to relax, with a private outdoor swimming pool, meadows, gardens and woodland to explore. Soaking up the healing energies of nature.
We will have sole use of the camping facilities which include shower room, toilets and outdoor, covered kitchen space.

Love & Light Yoga with Natalie
A friendly, Earth loving Mother, Wife and Yogini who offers from the heart.
Natalie first started her Yoga practice at the age of 17 and was amazed at the transformation she saw happening to her body, mind and outlook on life. She knew she had to share this wonderful practice with others so committed to a 3 year teacher training course and here she is still offering Yoga today.
Natalie’s personal Yoga practice is rooted in Hatha, Ashtanga and Iyengar Yoga. She has taught in a variety of venues including health spas, hotels, gyms, schools, wellbeing clinics and has held workshops for Staffordshire Yoga Fellowship, mental health charities and woodland wellbeing retreats.
If Natalie is not on her mat or with her family, you will find her in the garden or walking in the countryside with her dogs. She loves being out in Nature and use the cycles, seasons, elements, Celtic Wheel of the Year as her guides and inspiration when offering a Yoga practice. Her classes are deeply connected to Mother Earth and Natalie loves to weave in her knowledge of tree and animal spirit medicine, the Goddess archetypes, crystals and moon magic to add extra depth and encompass all of what she loves.
