It’s not just a retreat.

This is both.

A retreat…
and a professional training.

A space to receive,
and a space to learn how to hold others.

You are guided, held, and immersed in the work…
while also developing the skills, awareness, and confidence to facilitate it yourself.

This is where healing becomes embodiment.
And embodiment becomes leadership.

Applications are now open.
If you feel the pull to step into this work, follow it.

Over the years, I’ve supported many women through womb work and bodywork.

And I began to notice something again and again…

The intuitive knowing was there.

The connection.
The sensitivity.
The depth.

But the structure underneath it was often missing.

And without that, it can feel uncertain.

This course is here to bring those two together.

Not one or the other.

Both.

Some places hold something you can’t explain.

Avalon is one of them.

The land itself carries depth.
History.
Energy that supports transformation in a way that’s hard to put into words.

This isn’t just a location.
It becomes part of the experience.

Part of the learning.
Part of what opens during the week.

If you’ve ever felt drawn to Glastonbury… there’s usually a reason.

Applications are now open.

You can’t learn this level of work online.
This isn’t just learning techniques.

It’s immersion.
It’s embodiment.
It’s being held… so you can learn to hold others.

A week inside the work.
A week to deepen your capacity.
A week to step more fully into your role as a facilitator.

This is not surface-level healing.
Applications are now open.
If this resonates, follow it.

Reach out 🙏

“ I am not the victim of r**e I am a SURVIVOR of r**e “
Survivor is an empowering term often used by people who have been a victim of sexual violence .
Survivors focus on rebuilding life, processing trauma and healing.
It’s certainly not an easy process to go through and asking for help and support is such a brave step to take.
It’s nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about.
Having someone to talk to is so important you do not have to go through this alone.
SAND is here to support you.
Make that first brave step and please contact us we will not judge you… we will listen to you and support you ❤️
You do not have to face this alone ❤️

You don’t just find this work.
You feel called to it.

There comes a point where surface-level work stops being enough.

Where you know there’s something deeper.
Something you can’t quite name… but you can feel it.

A pull towards healing.
Towards understanding.
Towards holding space in a different way.

This training isn’t for everyone.

It’s for those who:
– feel the call to womb work
– are ready to go deeper
– want to learn how to hold others safely
– and are willing to meet themselves in the process

If something in you recognises this… trust it.

Applications are now open.

As an adult service, we are often approached by young people and families seeking support for those under 18. This highlights a very real need within our community.

While SAND currently specialises in supporting adults, we are beginning to build connections with local services and explore how we can offer safe, appropriate signposting for younger people.

This is the start of that journey.
We’re pleased to share that wellbeing support for ages 11–17 will be coming soon to Barnstaple Museum ♥️

This is what I see shift when women understand anatomy:
Confidence
Clarity
Grounded presence
Less guessing
Less uncertainty
More trust in what they are doing

This is why this course matters.

It is not extra.

It is foundational.

This isn’t just about learning techniques.

It’s about becoming the woman who can hold others through real depth.

Across the week, you’re not just taught - you’re immersed.

In ceremony.
In healing.
In understanding how to safely and confidently guide others.

Because facilitation isn’t something you memorise.
It’s something you embody.

If you’re ready to deepen your capacity and step into this work more fully…
