Bex and Emma are back with their autumn retreat.

Across three days, we will immerse ourselves through embodied practices, sound, stillness and nature, exploring liminal spaces and the ancient myths of 'Samhain': a doorway between worlds.

As leaves fall from the trees, mist rises across the fields, and the spirits come forth. One cycle completes and a pause awaits before the next begins.

Join us to celebrate this auspicious time of year and the transformation it brings.

Your Retreat Home

Our retreat takes place in the enchanting grounds of Braziers Park - a Grade II listed gothic mansion nestled in the south Oxfordshire countryside.

Braziers Park is one of the UK's oldest intentional communities, and we share the space with its group of residents who collectively tend to the historic house, organic kitchen gardens, and surrounding woodlands.

In a setting that invites you into a deeper connection with the season's liminal magic, we encourage you to explore the grounds, gardens and centuries-old trees.

What to expect

The retreat will guide you through an understanding of ways liminal space and transformation shows up around you and within you.

Embodied Movement: explore layers of your experience through Jivamukti yoga, yin yoga, qigong.

Meditation and visualisation:

Sound baths: with gongs and crystal bowls.

Ritual and ceremony: tea and caco ceremonies.

Storytelling: bonfire, myths of Samhain.

Journaling: to consolidate learning.

Nature connection: space to walk outdoors and quiet corners for contemplation.

Periods of silence: we will observe periods of noble silence to help you go deeper in your practice.

FAQs

Experiences from last year

It was all just excellent! I thought the whole programme was incredibly well considered and thoughtfully put together. The combination of all the different practices was really interesting, unique and actually unlike any retreat I've been on before. You guys are a super duo! It's amazing what a positive impact the whole experience had on me in such a short time - I've had a real spring in my step this week and feel a lot less overwhelmed by things :) I also thought the venue and whole ethos of Braziers Park was the perfect backdrop.

It was a truly restorative weekend. You guys really thought about every detail and created such a beautiful vibe where everyone felt safe and right at home. I really felt like a different person leaving 🤍 Such a great mixture of activities and lots of personal touches that felt very unique to the two of you made it extra special.

~ Sarah

Emma and Bex complimented each other so well and the whole thing ran so smoothly form start to finish. You can tell how much thought and care went through all of it and it felt so much longer than just a weekend, in the best way! It was such a wonderful group of women as well and I could definitely see making this a part of my annual reset.

~ Beatrice

It was a fantastic retreat and incredibly healing and restorative. Loved the theme - so apt for the season and incredibly resonant. A very good tool to get into the deeper layers of subconscious. Feel very rejuvenated and also like I’ve unlocked a lot of things I want to keep working on

~ Lucy

I feel very different today compared to last week before the retreat, and I know the effects will stay with me for a while. I’m inspired to make some positive changes based on the clarity I gained over the weekend. Thank you!
