Somewhere deep in the wilderness near the base of mount Snowdon there is a path leading to a world you’ve only dreamt of in fairytale. Surrounded by waterfalls, mountain ranges and wild nature, you will discover a real life Shire complete with hobbit holes, round houses, stone circles and exquisite Celtic design, arising from the land. 

This is the scene we welcome you into for 3 days and nights of exploration and cosmic connection and the creation of a community based on trust, love and acceptance. 

“My life will never be the same again. I feel like I've shed so many layers and been filled up with love and joy.” ★★★★★ Laura W

Over these 3 days we will explore the nature of the psyche and cosmos through the medicine of indigenous plants such as Marigold, Dandelion, dream medicines, blue lotus and Cacao; be reminded of the true power and magic of the land through Celtic Shamanism, vision quests, waterfall immersions, fire circles and deep nature connection, and experience the magick within our bones as we crack our hearts open with music medicine, heart opening mantra, play, releasing inner blockages and exploring living the more beautiful way that our hearts know is possible. 

Our intention for this weekend is that you would have dived deep within your soul and remembered your essence as a divine being; experienced life unfolding in its natural flow as you deepen into the rhythm of your heart’s calling; and cleared away any stagnation and trauma preventing you from living in true flow and connection with nature, your deepest self and the flow of life. 

“One of the best things I've ever done in my life. So grateful to have met so many like-minded souls that were also on their journeys in life. My heart is brimming with joy as I write this.” ★★★★★ Jonathan

 

“Transformative, life affirming, magical, I laughed, I cried, I loved, I went deep inside and I learned to accept love. It was one of the most profound weekends of my life and I'm so excited for the next one! Josh and Laura were absolutely flawless." Alex G ★★★★★

They felt they unlocked parts of themselves during the retreat and were left feeling the loving presence of the facilitators, Laura and Josh, as well as the whole group. The retreat was beautifully curated, and participants felt held in a compassionate embrace as they did deep, meaningful work. Many enthusiastically recommend the retreat to anyone wanting to connect with their own magic and inner wisdom.

This was a beautiful opportunity to stay in dwellings right next to a sacred site. It was a treat to have the waterfall to ourselves, and the night time meditative pilgrimage to it was nothing less than magical! The location was superb and our guides were kind and nurturing. Thank you so much xxx

A fantastic time away from the city for me. It was at the perfect time of the year to get rain, sun and fun.

My experience of the retreat was deep and powerful, I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to connect with the beautiful ancient land and waters of St. Nectan's Glen over the Easter weekend. Assisted by music and plant ceremonies I was able to access the hidden, neglected parts of myself and was reminded of my place as a part of the natural world, taken aback by her stunning beauty. Our weekend was intuitively facilitated with love and a deep respect for the land and spirit of this magical place. This special connection to earth, air, water and fire at this poignant moment in the year was profound, challenging and ultimately deeply transformative.

It’s hard to find the words to capture the beautiful experience of being with Laura, Lila, and my fellow retreatants last weekend at the magical St Nectan’s Glen. We arrived in the rain and left in glorious sunshine which felt like a perfect metaphor for the journey we had been on together. Everything about the weekend felt so easy, gentle and full of love - it was more than just a retreat, it felt like coming home to myself. There were countless beautiful moments, but the waterfall ceremony will stay with me forever. A week later, and I’m still feeling the glow. Thank you, Laura and Lila, for creating something so special, in such a breathtaking place.

I absolutely loved the Winter Solstice retreat Laura and Josh orchestrated. It was really illuminating in so many unexpected ways. Laura and Josh are the real deal. They are authentic, compassionate and evolved. They are also wise owls but kind and gentle in the application of this wisdom. When I told my sister about the weekend, she was moved to tears, so I’ve realised the impact doesn’t lie solely within the power of the group, or even the individual self-growth. It ripples out much further. The sprit of Glastonbury is in the people. People like Laura and Josh, who feel the call to (and actually do) help us heal and grow. I’m grateful. Thank you. 🙏

Laura and Josh are experienced facilitators who provide loving support in this journey towards the soul. The incredible variety of activities raised awareness of the whispers of my heart with unexpected insights to guide and nourish. The beauty of Cae Mabon must be experienced. This ancient land is the perfect setting for this magical event. Thank you Laura and Josh for giving so much of yourselves. Ronel

I really enjoyed the retreat with Laura and Josh. It was a very healing experience as they held such a safe, loving, welcoming, and authentic space. The programme of events had enough activities to be engaging, as well as a good balance of space to process the practices. Cae Mabon was beautiful and relaxing, being so close to nature. The other attendees were lovely. I would really recommend going on a retreat with Laura and Josh.

This retreat was an incredible experience and I feel so grateful that I could spend some time nature and deeply reconnect with it. I am especially grateful for the amazing breath work and meditation journeys we undertook with Laura and Josh in a wonderful surroundings . They were profoundly powerful experiences that brought forth beautiful visions of my loved ones, facilitated healing from my past, and helped release significant trauma. These journeys were truly transformative. I feel amazing joy and love in my heart🙏 My first-time experience with cold water immersion was challenging, but my body felt great afterward. It helped me overcome some of my fears and added to the overall sense of renewal and growth I experienced during the retreat. I also feel grateful for all the beautiful people I met during the retreat. The connections I made and the shared experiences will be cherished in my heart forever. Thank you, Laura and Josh, for creating such a magical and healing space. 🙏 This retreat has left a lasting impression on me, and I will always hold it close to my heart ❤️
