Two years ago, I was meant to be on ’s Earth Alchemy retreat but had to pull out at the last minute because of a family tragedy so it made this weekend even more special than it was already going to be.
Such an incredible few days: time out, stillness, silence, and connection with the most amazing group of women. Beautifully hosted by the gorgeous who holds sacred space so gently and powerfully.
Early morning yoga and chanting, sea swims, forest walks, heart-warming chats, sharing cacao, walking meditations, daily sound journeys, singing and drumming around the fire… and even facing a lifelong fear of being alone in the dark (and spiders!) by spending time barefoot at night on my own in the pitch black in the womb-like underground fogou.
We made floral jellyfish art, hugged trees, embodied Kali, spent a precious Sunday morning at the stone circle, gathered apples, and were nourished inside and out by Molly .at.the.table - every meal was a sensory delight that made us want to clap and sing for joy and that was before we even tasted it!
It is not often you get to spend time with people you have only just met but come away feeling so strong, joyful, and clear-headed. I know this and the time spent with my dear sound sisters Ali and will carry me for many weeks and months to come. Feeling very grateful for this time, this land, and these beautiful souls 🌊🍏 🌳 🕷️🫶
