The Awaken
Weekend Retreat 2025
It's time to reconnect with yourself


Awaken
May 16 - 18 2025
Hafod Hir, Ceredigion, West Wales
Why Awaken?
​
We will be in the full throws of spring, where nature has fully arisen from her winter slumber and the fruits of her labour are blooming into life all around us.
Following on from Beltane, the ancient festival marking the beginning of summer, and under the light of the flower moon, we carve out time for ourselves.
To reflect, to celebrate, and to illuminate.
Since weaving together my love of mindful movement, cyclical living, and nervous system regulation,
I have realised that this is my mission....
​
Yes, I want you to be able to rest deeply without needing a reason,
Yes, I want you to sleep well, and feel tension free,
Yes, I want you to learn how to regulate your individual nervous system...
​
But not just so we can feel calm and collected.
​
We ultimately do this work so that we have the capacity for more.
More joy, more presence, more self worth, more bravery, more experiences, more life.
So that you can awaken to the rhythms of your body.
So that you can awaken to your full unapologetic self.
So that you can awaken to the whispers of your soul.
So that you can awaken to the call of your own magic intuition.
​
So you can be and feel more like you.
​
Finding your path in this journey we call life.

FAQs
Do I have to participate in all of the activities?
Absolutely not! Everything is there to take and leave as you wish. It is however quite important for the group that you make the opening and closing circles, the rest is up to you.
Can I join if I am pregnant?
Yes you can. Please contact Rachel with details of your journey so far and we can see if it will be a good fit together and ensure we can make you comfortable.
Can I join if I have injuries or conditions?
Yes absolutely. Adaptations can be made where we need. Please contact Rachel about your exact requirements so we can ensure we can make it as comfortable as possible.
If I cancel will i get a refund?
The £150 deposit to secure your space is non refundable. If you need to cancel before the second payment is due, we can work together toward finding someone to take your place.
Do I need any experience?
Not at all. Many of our regular community only began yoga or attending circles just this year. You do not need to have been on a retreat before. My main pillar is to always create a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely! As I mentioned, it is always key to me that we are in a welcoming and inviting environment, whether you come with someone or alone.
