Wintering Retreat
January 7th -11th 2026
Hafod Hir estate, Ceredigion, West Wales
A 4 night Healing Retreat to Replenish, Restore and Renew
Many of us know how good we feel after a one hour class.
Imagine how you might feel after a full weekend nestled in nature, surrounded by like minded women, and the therapeutic powers of:
gentle embodied yoga
nervous system nourishment
relaxing meditations
nourishing and delicious vegetarian food
heart healing cacao
sound healing
aromatherapy massage
and time in the hot tub and under the trees to integrate?
Feedback from May 25
“Still glowing from the most magical weekend, yoga, connection, deep conversations, belly laughs, and moments of stillness that filled my soul. I left feeling empowered, seen and so grateful for the space we created together, here's to shared strength and healing, and the magic that happens when women come together."
"I have felt the most grounded and peaceful I have ever felt when I got home from the retreat, The energy and healing from being there has enabled me to fully embrace a weekend with my family celebrating my big birthday, It has been amazing and I am so grateful."
“It was amazing from start to finish, every little detail was thought about and you could tell Rachel had poured her heart and soul into it. Life is so busy that you never have a spare moment, this weekend was all about us and it felt amazing. Can't wait for the September one!”
Our Accomodation
Meet Rachel
As someone that has struggled with anxiety, insomnia and low self worth, I want more for the women around me.
I feel incredibly passionate about sharing the tools that helped me get there.
I weave together mindful movement, cyclical & seasonal living, nervous system regulation, and women's circles to create a safe yet magic space for us to unravel.
And I have realised that this is my mission....
Yes, I want you to be able to rest deeply,
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.
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.
To your full unapologetic self,
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.

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.
