Ease out of the week and into the weekend with a 60-minute guided sauna ritual, guided by traditional bathing practices as a space for connection, warmth, and gentle renewal.

17th April • 7-8pm •

Moving through the four elements, we begin with breath and aromatic oils, softening into the heat. Birch-infused water is poured over the stones and skin, creating waves of steam to cleanse and clear. As warmth builds, gentle movement and a homemade birch sugar scrub exfoliate, awaken, and bring the body back to life. We close with a grounding pause and earthy oils, inviting reflection, reset, and a slow arrival into the weekend.

Across European sauna traditions, birch is honoured for its revitalising qualities, encouraging circulation, supporting detoxification, and softly awakening the body.

Come alone or with friends. Leave glowing, grounded, and held by the warmth.

Food is at the heart of everything we do 🌿

From plant to plate, our retreat meals are lovingly created using locally sourced ingredients from nearby farms, and even from our own garden, where we grow plums, salad, almonds, apples, figs and more.

But it’s not just about the food itself.
At every retreat in France, meal times become something deeper… a moment to pause, connect, reflect and come together. It’s something that’s always shared in feedback too. Not just how delicious everything is, but how those shared tables feel.

All our food is vegetarian, and we cater to your dietary needs too. Plus, there are amazing local wines available with meals for those who want them.

We still have two shared rooms available for our July retreat, and we’d love for you to join us 🥑

Call me? 📞

I've decided to give up 10 minutes of my time for you, could you do the same for me too? What do you think your life could look like if you gave yourself permission to spare 10 or 20 minutes to potentially propel you forwards onto a new or more positive path?

It's not just about putting time aside for this call, but what else in your life could change if you gave yourself that brief moment of time to put yourself, your health and your worth first? What could you do today that just takes ten minutes?

This call may be a very brief chat and it goes no further and that's okay., or it may be that we decide to work together in a small or a big way. We can't know until we allow ourselves to connect for 10 minutes.

If you're looking for positive change, or you want to get to know yourself on a deeper level, or perhaps you'd just like a little guidance, then drop me a message and we can have that call within the next week.

Speak soon! 📞

🌿 Spring Equinox Sauna Ritual 🌿
Friday 20th March · 6.30 to 8.00pm
📍 Saltdean Sauna

A special equinox gathering to honour nature's new year. A moment of balance between light and dark. A turning point where the earth begins to wake and energy quietly begins to rise.

This sauna journey is an invitation into warmth, breath and release. Heat seeps into the muscles, sweat softens the skin, steam opens the lungs and settles the nervous system. Moving through the elements in their natural rhythm, you are gently guided from reflection into renewal, shedding winter's heaviness and stepping into the brighter season feeling clear, grounded and reawakened.

🍃 Air | Breath & Intention
We begin with breathwork and essential oils to clear the mind and open the lungs. A gentle space to set intentions for the season ahead.

💧 Water | Cleansing & Release
Steam and warm water soften the body and wash away any heaviness from winter. A cleansing for what feels complete, creating space for growth.

🔥 Fire | Awakening
Leaf whisking to stimulate circulation and ignite inner vitality. As the light strengthens outside, we kindle our own inner flame and welcome fresh momentum.

🌍 Earth | Grounding & Renewal
A homemade birch-infused sugar scrub to exfoliate and nourish the skin, anchoring intentions into the body and reconnecting with the steady wisdom of the earth.

The Spring Equinox reminds us that growth does not rush, it unfolds. This is a space to pause, realign and consciously step into the brighter half of the year.

✨ Come to reset. Come to envision. Come to rise with the season.

Guided by Kira, Lithuanian-style sauna master and wellbeing facilitator behind Moon and Mind, blending ancient sauna ritual with mindfulness and seasonal wisdom.

🌕 Suitable for all bodies
🧺 Bring two towels

Shed & Stride - A 3-Card Tarot Spread for the Lunar New Year & New Moon

Card 1 — What Is Shedding?

What pattern, belief, expectation or role feels complete?
What have you quietly outgrown?

Card 2 — What Is Ready to Move?

Where is energy building?
What wants courage, momentum or clearer action?

Card 3 — What Might Be Next?

If you respond with awareness and intention, what direction could unfold over the coming weeks?
What emerging theme is asking for your attention?

🐍 Today marks the transition from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Horse, and it also coincides with the New Moon.

Whether you connect with astrology or not, moments like this are powerful because they create a sense of reset. Culturally, seasonally and psychologically, it is a shift.

The Snake is often associated with reflection, subtle transformation and quiet wisdom. The Horse symbolises vitality, movement and momentum. Together they ask a simple question. What am I ready to shed, and where am I ready to move?

This spread is not about predicting the future. It is about perspective. Tarot can be spiritual, symbolic or simply reflective. At its heart, it is a tool for structured self inquiry. It helps us surface patterns we might already feel but have not yet named. It gives shape to our thinking.

The New Moon, particularly in Aquarius, carries themes of fresh thinking and looking ahead. It offers a gentle invitation to check in with yourself and consider what you would like to invite in the coming weeks.

Nothing dramatic. Just intentional.

What feels complete?
What wants movement?
What might be next if you choose consciously?

You do not have to believe in tarot for it to be useful. Sometimes asking better questions is all it takes to shift direction.

Let me know how this spread helps you 🐎 and happy new year to those who celebrate today X

For centuries, this land has welcomed those in transition.

What began as stables for the nearby château became a family holiday home and restoration project 40 years ago. Barn by barn, summer by summer, generations of hands have shaped it. Grandparents, parents, siblings, friends. Bare feet. Long evenings. Shared meals. Laughter echoing between stone walls.

For the past decade, Sam has not just been running retreats here, but also transforming the space into somewhere that holds deeper rest. With his carpentry skills, he has built a sauna, a wood-fired pizza oven and a yurt for meditation, while creating both indoor and outdoor yoga spaces for practice.

Alongside these, the farm now holds ten bedrooms, a swimming pool for long, slow afternoons, indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, and wide open fields stretching in every direction. It is peaceful, quiet and perfect for stargazing under vast French skies.

And when you feel like exploring, the historic towns of Chinon and Richelieu are just nearby.

This July, we gather here together.

Six days in the French countryside. Movement, rest, creativity, good food and nature. Space to slow down before journeying onward again.

If you feel the pull of this place, Kira and Jas .newsome.yoga would love to welcome you.

We are often far harsher with ourselves than we would ever be with anyone else.

Self-criticism feels productive. It feels like we’re “doing something” about the problem. But more often than not, it just keeps us stuck.

Curiosity is different.

Curiosity asks: Why did that land so deeply?
What might I need right now?
What is this reaction protecting?

In both coaching and tarot, this is where the real shifts happen. Not in judgement. Not in forcing change. But in gently exploring what’s underneath.

Growth doesn’t happen because we’re cruel to ourselves.
It happens when we’re willing to look closer.

If something has been feeling heavy lately, what would it be like to get curious about it instead of critical?

Community means everything to me.

When I host gatherings, I often hear people say, "Your friends are so nice." And of course they are. We've built something rooted in kindness, generosity, and showing up for one another. We give what we can, when we can and when it's our time of need, we're held and supported in return.

I feel that same deep sense of connection at our retreat, being surrounded by people who come with open hearts, ready to share, listen, and support each other. It is such a beautiful reminder of how powerful it is when we come together with intention.
