This day retreat is organised by Walk the Walk Collective and is held in collaboration of several experienced facilitators to bring you the best and most powerful experience.

We are delighted to invite you to Shouts and Whispers - a day retreat full of nourishing, transformational and creative practices.

Have you ever wondered how it feels to be fully self expressive and big?

How is it to splash paint onto a big canvas with uninhibited gestures? In our daily lives most of us type on tiny phones, look into small screens and write in small notebooks. Hardly anyone ever has  the chance to go big and to release what is holding us back from stepping into our full power.

During our shouts and whispers day retreat we will work our way inwards - from big and liberating gestures and practices to the more subtler and quiet tones and whispers.

We will start the day with full body movement practices like dance and somatic movements, which are  designed to get the juices flowing and the energy stirring. From this embodied state we move into a creative practice where we can release what we need to let go of through the power of art. We will create a huge collective painting/drawing that will carry our big expressive gestures on large scale paper. A release painting!

From this release we move into a contemplative phase over the lunch break in which you can journal, rest, wander in the beautiful gardens of The Quiet View to let the morning practice settle in.

In the afternoon we intend to listen to our innate wisdom and collect the fruits of the morning.

There will be a gentle yoga session to bring us back fully into ourselves and our bodies.

A fire ritual will allow us to work further with the creation of the morning. There will be plenty of time to reflect and listen to the space that has opened up through letting something heavy go in the morning. We will have a story time and whilst listening, create something small and precious for you to take home with you. We will support you through this contemplative and reflective afternoon with gentle drumming, guided meditation, gentle movement and creative expression. Each participant will create a little artwork, brimming with the wisdom of the day.

No prior experience is needed. We will guide you through the whole day.

Please bring your own yoga mats and packed lunches. Snacks and teas will be provided.

Walk the Walk Collective is a group of seven incredible facilitators who have decided to work together to bring safe, transformative healing spaces to the community.

Stronger together - authentic relating and sisterhood

This is for the hard working women who sometimes forget to let themselves be good enough!

Society teaches us to focus on doing and achieving. We compete with others for status, beauty, the amount of holidays a year, the car we drive, the people we know, the shape of our bodies, the yoga poses we can bend into, the languages we can speak, the list is absolutely endless!!

But truth is: Whilst running after achievements we forget to live life as it is. We also forget to connect with others and share our beautiful and sometimes messy humanity. No wonder so many people feel empty, disconnected and isolated…

In this Feeling Sisterhood Women’s Circle we come together to celebrate each other and ourselves as we are. We do this by creating authentic connections on a mental, physical and spiritual level (more below).

One result of harsh patriarchal structures for women is competition with each other rather than sisterhood. But we all know by now: We are especially powerful when we come together, join forces and feel each other’s support.

During this gathering you will experience:

• Beautiful and joyful exercises in how to relate authentically with each other in an embodied and safe way. Skipping the draining small talk and admiring the true colours.

• A shamanic divination practice with a stone during which we will find clarity on a burning question. Journaling practice included. Please bring a rock roughly the size of your palm.

• A gentle massage exchange, sitting and fully clothed.

• A sharing circle with deep listening intent within an amazing group of women.

• Maybe a little fun dance at the end. But that’s optional and might evolve spontaneously.

If you feel called to join us please follow the link to book. There is a Feeling Sisterhood WhatsApp group you are welcome to join after attending a gathering. Please bring a snack to share if you feel like it. We hope you will join us for this magical night!

———————-

Feeling Sisterhood are women’s gatherings that have been happening since 2021. Our aim is to bring back the deep tribal feeling of women sitting around a fire together, sharing stories and sorrows, laughter and resources.

The intention is to dissolve the feeling of competition and envy that can linger between women and to increase trust, friendship and honest appreciation of each other - exactly as we are.

We are non-judgemental and supportive to whatever you may bring to the circle. We don’t try to fix or give unwanted advice unless you ask for it.

Everything shared is held in confidentiality and deep respect. Come, join the tribe!

Myself and Giles are hosting another round of our popular Sound and Silence day-retreats. Giles is a sound practitioner and somatic coach while I am an artist and shamanic practitioner. We use our combined skills to weave a journey of sound and silence and to help tap into the stillness at the heart of our being. This will be a transformational day for releasing, re-energising and re-invigorating our body, mind and spirit. Snacks will be provided on the day but please bring your own lunch.

The day will include-

·       Opening circle including some gentle embodiment movement and sounding practices

·       Shamanic drum journey

·       Toning circle with some vocal toning techniques

o   to support releasing of emotions

o   Offerings of healing sounds and tones to ourselves and the global community

·       Intuitive automatic writing practice

·       Sound bath

·       Closing circle with fire ritual

The day will be interspersed with periods of silent contemplation.

We look forward to meeting you and journeying together!

Join me and Giles Mountain for a shamanic drum journey and sound bath. We gather to honour the spirits of our ancestors to support our journey into the unseen realms and to help gain insights and inspiration to support our spiritual growth.

Allow this to further percolate away as you surrender into the the intuitive healing sounds and tones of the sound bath, a sonic massage for the soul.

Finishing with some light nourishing snacks to help ground the experience.
