CREATING SPACES TO CONNECT, HEAL & TRANSFORM

EVENING AND DAY RETREATS

Winter Offerings

Wintering with the Wise Woman
Retreat Day
Saturday 30th November, 10.30 - 5.00pm
The Goddess House, Glastonbury

Imagine a life where you feel fully connected to yourself, embracing the anchor within you. Picture yourself in a state of gentle observation, observing the beautiful chaos of life swirling around you

Imagine how it would be to enter into the busy festive season feeling a sense of deep inner peace and stillness at your core…

How would your life transform if you felt so connected with this inner version of yourself that you could hear your intuition, and trust in its messages and the wisdom of your Ancestors guiding and supporting you through life’s challenges?

The Wise Woman deeply understands herself and navigates life’s ebb and flow with grace. Having experienced many cycles, she observes their patterns while remaining unattached. Grounded in the timeless wisdom of the Ancestors, she surrenders to life’s unfolding while staying true to her core essence. 
She embodies both power and gentleness, strength and grace, blending ancient wisdom with a child-like curiosity for each new cycle.

The Wintering With The Wise Woman Retreat Day is an invitation for you to step out of the pre-Christmas chaos, and step into a cosy cauldron of sisterhood, self-love, inner stillness and deep connection with your inner wisdom.

Throughout our day together, Francesca and Lynda will create a safe space for deep rest and relaxation. You'll embark on a guided Sound and Regression Journey, exploring the dreamlike realms of your inner Wise Woman and the ancestral magic within you. Tapping into the energy of Avalon, we will connect with the wisdom of our Wise Women Ancestors from these sacred lands. Through sharing circles, we’ll weave our collective insights, allowing you to leave with a sense of deep inner knowing, stillness, and the comforting support of your Wise Women sisters.

What awaits you:
  • Guided Sound and Regression Journey connecting you to the Ancestors and embodying your Inner Wise Woman
  • Energetic support, including through sacred sound and voice
  • Self-enquiry, sharing circles and feminine wisdom insights
  • Connection with Wise Woman energy and the Ancestors of Avalon
  • Connecting with the energy of sacred herbs and essential oils - including a gift to take home 
  • Homemade lunch, treats and refreshments supporting you to nourish and ground your energy
  • Optional deepening of sisterhood bonds with evening meal*
We look forward to weaving and wintering with the wise woman with those of you who feel the call.  

If you have any questions, please contact

*Optional extra at your own expense

With love, Lynda & Francesca xx
Reiki Soundbath and Meditation Evening
A Journey into peace 
Wednesday 4th December 6.30 - 8.30pm
Above the Henge Shop, Avebury

You are invited to an evening of Sound Healing with an intention of deepening into the energy of peace, a time to slow down and pause. Just think how this could support you in the lead up to the festive season? A gift for yourself to connect more with your inner reserve, perhaps leading to more contentment, calm and stability. A journey connecting the heart, voice, body and mind. A really loving practice promoting emotional and physical healing at the sacred site of Avebury.

Whilst you lay on the floor or relax in a seated position, you will be able to receive the benefits of sound. You will find them deeply relaxing, releasing, nourishing and transformative. You will also have the opportunity to engage in the sound journey and learn some sound healing techniques that can help you to maintain the sense of peace beyond the evening event and into what is typically a busy festive season.
Whilst the room will already be cocooned in reiki energy from the moment you step in, Hattie will also be offering hands on reiki to everyone who desires it whilst I lead the sound healing and meditation.  She will also tune in to the messages of the animal kingdom that wish to come through with some advice or guidance for us.  A potent combination of healing energies moving through you in the most perfect way.

I will also work with the energy of chosen plants and trees to enhance the experience further, creating a multi-sensory journey.

What awaits you:
  • Guided meditation taking you into a deeply relaxed state then flowing into sound.
  • Sound healing journey with your chosen intention connected to peace – guided by my intuitive use of the golden chalice, alchemy crystal bowls, drum, gong, chimes and other instruments.
  • Hands on reiki healing during the sound healing and meditation
  • Chanelled messages from the animal kingdom
  • Sharing sound healing techniques for you to continue with to support yourself.
  • Individual and group reflection time with homemade treats at the end to help you ground your energy.
  • Optional use of essential oil to help deepen into relaxation
I’m delighted to be joined by the very intuitive Hattie Northeast whose soul purpose is to serve our wonderful Animal Kingdom. Attuned to Egyptian Sekhem healing and Karuna Reiki, Hattie is able to offer a deep level of healing to all species (humans included!) helping us to reach clarity on a heartfelt level.   
We are offering an under 18 price for anyone who wishes to bring along a young person.  It's so wonderful to share these natural ways of supporting ourselves.

This is an intimate event so book early to avoid disappointment.  

With love, Lynda & Hattie xx
The Sacred Pause Mini Online Retreat

Sunday 15th December, 7.00 - 9.00pm GMT / 2.00 - 4.00pm EST
Online via zoom

What if by truly slowing down and going within you could discover pathways within that lead to a more blissful, peaceful and joy-filled state in your everyday?
  • Do you find yourself giving of yourself to others and struggling to fill your own cup?
  • Perhaps you’d like to expand and grow. You know there is more to life, yet you feel challenged to take the time out to be still and go within?
  • Are you seeking a sisterhood of like-minded/like-hearted women who you can resonate with?
  • Do you seek easy, practical guidance, support and ways to support your base emotional, mental, physical and spiritual needs whilst opening up for more expansion and growth?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this monthly gathering and community could make all the difference.

We will gather in circle over the energetic grid of the world where you will be held from a place of unconditional love. A place where you will feel at home in yourself. A time to deepen into connection with yourself and your journey, with the sisters around you, mother earth and her gifts as well as the cosmic realms.

We will intuitively weave together potent monthly offerings of healing and transformation. Tuning into the energy of the group and calling in the support needed, we will curate journeys that work with body, mind and soul. We also honour the power of integration and supporting you in making these practices easy and accessible for you to continue with beyond our time together.  

We will follow up with some suggestions and support beyond our time online. One month will weave into the next and we also have an exciting in person event in the making. We are excited to call in a sacred sisterhood from around the world.  Our August event was such a beautiful gathering.  We look forward to continuing to welcome in those who resonate with this call.

We invite you to take the time to practice the art of the sacred pause. Allowing yourself time to show up as you are, you may need to integrate a time of letting go, new beginnings, or simply to energetically fill your cup.  

Join us for an online gathering as we connect to the potent and powerful full moon energies.  This full moon we will focus on healthy communication, creativity and deeper connection in order to harness the energy of the Gemini full moon; allowing for a deep dive and embrace positive changes. This is an invitation to take time for yourself, to move beyond any limitations or old patterns and receive ancestral healing.  This journey will tap into your innate ability to heal and into the potency of the full moon to enhance clarity through contrast and develop a deeper connection to your intuition as well as your inner strength. 

As a special bonus, Hattie will share some beautiful insights and connections to the full moon as well in our sacred pause Facebook group allowing for an even more beautiful full moon experience. Learning beautiful and simple tools to help navigate the waves of the moon. Some cycles may be smooth sailing and others may feel like you cannot catch your breath as you navigate through emotions.

What awaits you:
  • A meditative journey weaving in sacred sound and hypnosis, meditation or akashic healing
  • Inspired intuitive connection, activating our flow with messages from the universe
  • Anchoring in the power of words and everyday magic
  • Grounding with essential oils and crystals
  • Connecting with the energy and wisdom of a spirit animal who has a teaching led by Hattie
  • Individual and group reflection time supporting your integration.
A few words from a participant in a previous session
"I didn’t want the call to end! It felt like we had all had such a wonderful time together and your joint gifts of words, sound, feeling and healing cast a golden glow over all of us that you want to linger in forever. I’m sure we will all carry that with us. I know I will."

If this sings to your heart, please do join us for our beautiful gathering.  We look forward to growing and expanding together with those who feel the call.

**Buy your ticket and Gift one to a friend for FREE**
We would love to extend this offer for another month.  Another opportunity to spread the love and invite along a fellow sister or friend who you feel this heart led gathering would support.

With love

Rest, Reflect & Replenish Acupuncture and Soundbath Retreat Evening
Wednesday 18th December, 6.00 - 8.30pm
Above the Henge shop, Avebury

The 2024 Winter Solstice is on the 21st December.  In Acupuncture this forms a 15 day energetic space which marks the apex of Yin, the maximum of dark, feminine energy. This is a special energetic opportunity to reset yourself. Winter’s magical gift is the energy of Water, this quietly powerful ever changing element allows us a pause to reconnect with deep inner wisdom. We can re-fill our cup, replenish our strength, re-build our confidence and resolve fears in preparation for times of expansion ahead. Our recommendation for the Winter Solstice is to focus on resting thus allowing your courage, adaptability and wisdom to flow. You can create your winter intentions whilst balancing the water within and restoring your motivation and emotional balance.

By taking this time and space to yourself and by using acupuncture along with the resonance and vibration of sound, it will allow room for the quiet strength and intuition of winter to emerge.

Are you aware of or curious about the effects of the seasons on your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing?
  • Are you feeling fatigued, fearful, anxious or insecure?
  • Maybe you are looking for some time to reflect on the year gone by?
  • Do you want to reconnect with your innate inner wisdom and intuition?
  • Are you open to new practices that are supportive of you transitioning the seasons in a way that is restful and replenishing?

  • Do you suffer with low back pain, knee pain, urinary issues, reproductive imbalances, brittle nails or weak bones?
  • Are you interested in acupuncture or sound healing and would love to experience their combined power?
If you answer yes to any of the above, then this evening could be for you.

What awaits you:
  • A grounding meditation.
  • Receiving an acupuncture protocol designed to synchronise with the Winter Solstice & Water Element.
  • A soundbath designed to support rest, reflection and replenishment by calling in the wisdom of winter.
  • Homemade treats and infusions.
  • Time to reflect and share.
Benefits
Some of the benefits we would hope you would receive by this support during the seasonal transition:
  • A sense of emotional balance.
  • Stabilising your deep vital energy allowing access to a sense of self trust, innate wisdom and intuition.
  • Supporting the kidneys to promote healthy circulation, inner warmth, and confidence.
  • Feel rested and replenished with access to your courage and adaptability for the path ahead.
  • Connection with other like-minded individuals.
All helping you to step into and harmonise with Winter, the season of introspection.

Here are a few words from those who attended previous acusoundbaths
"Such a loving combination of acupuncture and soundbath delivered by two wonderful people" Yvette
"This experience was wonderful, gentle, loving, kind and very calming" Lindsay
"My anxiety shifted and I'm feeling more relaxed and positive" Marie

Reserve your spot in this limited-capacity event and embark on a journey of transformation. We look forward to welcoming you into this sacred space, supporting you to restore and radiate at Avebury’s Henge Shop.

Soundbath Retreat Evening - Coming back to Stillness and Compassion
Wednesday 8th January 6.30 - 8.30pm
Above the Henge Shop, Avebury

Start the New Year with Calm & Clarity
After the hustle and bustle of the festive season, it's time to pause, reset, and return to your centre. Join us for an evening of sound healing and nervous system nourishment, designed to support you as you begin the new year with deep stillness, compassion, and renewed energy.

This transformative retreat evening, led by myself and Francesca, will guide you through a powerful journey of release and recalibration. We’ll use the healing vibrations of voice, the golden chalice, and drums to clear out any lingering stress, tension, or energetic blocks. Through these soothing frequencies, you’ll calm your nervous system, leaving behind any energy you no longer wish to carry into the New Year.

It is believed that memories and emotions sit within the body. By immersing in pure therapeutic sounds, we can start to shift blocked energy, which helps bring us back into a natural balance. Sound harmonises from within and can bridge healing across the physical, emotional and mental bodies.
Whilst you lay on the floor or relax in a seated position, you will be able to receive the benefits of sound. You will find them deeply relaxing, releasing, nourishing and transformative.
 
We will also work with the energy of chosen plants, herbs and trees to enhance the experience further, creating a multi-sensory journey.

What awaits you:
  • Sound Healing Journey: Immerse yourself in healing sounds that invite deep relaxation and restoration
  • Voice Sound & Drumming: Experience the power of vocal toning and rhythmic drumming to shift energy and align your body and mind
  • Energy Clearing: Release any residual energy from the past year and set yourself up for new beginnings
  • Circle Sharing: Connect with like-minded souls in a supportive, open-hearted space for reflection and insight
  • Connection to the Plant Kingdom: Feel supported by the wisdom and energy of the plant kingdom as you use essential oils to ground and uplift your spirit throughout the evening
  • Oracle Card Guidance: Intuitively select oracle cards and receive messages to support your journey into the new year
  • Nourishing Homemade Treats & Infusions: Enjoy delicious, wholesome treats and calming herbal infusions to support your body and spirit
You’ll leave this evening feeling uplifted, calm, and recharged, with a renewed sense of clarity and connection. This is a perfect opportunity to come back into balance, reset your energy, and start the year with intention, compassion, and community.

I’m delighted to be joined by the very talented voice and sound alchemist Francesca Littman. We are offering an under 18 price for anyone who wishes to bring along a young person.  It's so wonderful to share these natural ways of supporting ourselves.

This is an intimate event so book early to avoid disappointment.  

With love, Lynda & Francesca xx
