Autumn Equinox Retreat Snowdonia

We warmly invite you to deep dive into the wisdom of nature in our magical Snowdonia retreat. Held within the powerful days of Autumn Equinox, it is a time in the seasonal cycle where we are called to reflect on the balance of life and celebrate the fruits of our physical and spiritual harvest.  

Lani and Annabelle will guide you through 5 days of explorations and ceremony to relax, restore and deepen in connection with the self, with the earth and with one another. 

The retreat will take place in Cae Mabon Eco-Retreat in North Wales, set within lush surroundings of ancient oak forest, water falls, crystal clear river, lakes, majestic mountains, hobbit houses and labyrinths. Cae Mabon is steeped in elemental vitality and has been described as ‘jaw-droppingly beautiful'.

The retreat will include :

• daily kundalini yoga + meditation with live music
• plant medicines cacao, mugwort and vervain
• breathwork
• sound journeys
• voice activation and ancestral healing
• intuitive movement
• nature meditations
• an equinox pilgrimage to a sacred site
• fireside circles
• detox and rest
• free time to rest, swim, sauna or explore the lands

And three delicious organic vegan meals each day, prepared with love according to TCM principles by a naturopathic chef.

Guided with love by Lani Rocillo and Annabelle Stapleton-Crittenden

ANNABELLE STAPLETON-CRITTENDEN

My name is Annabelle, blessed also with the name Charanbani Kaur.

My path is devoted to the healing and creative arts, supporting people to come into greater presence and to engage with life with more passion, ease, curiosity and confidence. For this, we work towards optimising physical health, creative flow, connecting with spirit, and allowing the heart and soul to lead with greater clarity.

I primarily serve with kundalini yoga and meditation, sound medicine, intuitive storytelling, self-enquiry and holistic massage, accompanied by plants.

This line of work is ultimately about finding balance. Of solar and lunar, personal and impersonal, infinity and finity consciousness, earth-water-wind-fire-ether. It includes detoxing physically and emotionally, reconciling and releasing tired memories, finding greater flow with creative energy and joy, and stimulating sensuality. We develop our relationship with the soul, and we become more awake to the ways in which wisdom and guidance is being transmitted in each moment.

Alongside my studies and certifications in kundalini yoga and sound healing, my approach is informed by:

- over 15 years study and practice in various lineages of yoga, including 10 years of kundalini;
- living and studying in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico for the past few years, learning with nature, wisdom keepers and native medicine practices;
- studies and trainings in the neurophysiology of complex ptsd and its application to embodied practices, alongside my own lived experiences;
- over 10 years of guiding people in intuitive participatory storytelling;
- certification in holistic massage with a combination of TCM and Toltec techniques;
- trainings in energy healing and channelling;
- a background in theatre and the performing arts, as practitioner and teacher, with a BA from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama;
 

I'm in deep gratitude to my many teachers and guides - human, plant, animal and mineral - with whose perspective and company I've had the fortune to be gifted.
