Threads of Balance
 A day retreat at Oxmoor Farm, Saturday 15th November, 10am – 5pm

Join us in the brand-new yurt at Oxmoor Farm, overlooking meadows and ancient woodland, for a nourishing day of creativity and nature connection — hosted by Nikki Strange and Wild Ivy Retreats.

Together, we’ll wander the land, foraging natural treasures to weave into your own symbolic hanging mobile. You’ll create a living artwork that reflects your centre, your anchors, and the elements that support you.

Guided gently through the process, you’ll craft not only a piece of art, but a personal talisman — a reminder of balance and harmony within.

Throughout the day, we’ll:
 🌿 Forage materials from the land, learning about the wild plants that grow there and their folklore
 🌀 Journey through guided meditations to connect more deeply with nature and self
 🥗 Enjoy a delicious, seasonal lunch prepared by the chefs at Oxmoor’s kitchen

Come as you are, and leave with both a creation and a deeper sense of rootedness.

What an honour it was to host a baby shower and Mumma’s Blessing for the gorgeous mummy-to-be, Kay!

Thank you for trusting us to weave a day of intention and connection for you and your loved ones.

We began with a cacao ceremony and a guided journey meditation, dreaming up symbols of strength, support, and courage together.

Then, we created wisdom cards — beautiful anchors of strength and support for our mother as she prepares for her Hypno birth.

Thank you for having us and allowing us to be part of such a sacred celebration. 💛

Goddess Party ✨🌱

What an honour it was to be asked to curate this beautiful gathering of women! A day created to honour the strength and love of the women around us.

Here is the beautiful poem Clare wrote to share with the woman in her life … ♥️✨

The friends you’ve grown up with who know your story,
your hopes, your fears, your failures, your glory
Your souls were destined to meet each other,
in past lives they were your sister, your mother.

The women you meet while your moving through,
who stand beside you to share the view.
When you thought your circle was complete
… but there had been an empty seat.

If you are blessed enough in birth
to have a sister on this earth,
then you have a golden shield,
because she will protect you,
no matter your battlefield.

And you know there is a god and she looks on you with her grace …
the moment you look into your baby girls face.
And witness in awe the rose bud power she holds..
and watch them bloom as their spirit unfolds

And the fierce love of our mothers, primal as a lioness,
she forges the way ahead to our inner goddess.
And the mothers and grandmothers that have passed,
the stars that brighten the dark sky with the light they cast.

These women are our sisterhood,
Where we are seen & understood.
We will hold each others hand
as in our goddess power we stand.

♥️

Full Moon Sound Bath and Guided Meditation

Thursday 10th July
7:00 – 8:30 PM
Ceceilia Hall, Puttenham

As the golden sun sets over the Chiltern Hills and the Buck Full Moon begins to rise, you are warmly invited to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the quiet wisdom of nature.

The Buck Full Moon is a time for reflection—not on the destination, but on the beauty of the journey itself.

A moment to trust what is unfolding.
To release what no longer serves.
So that we may bloom into all we are becoming.

Through intuitive, channeled singing and gentle guided meditation, you’ll be lovingly held in a space of calm and deep reflection.

Together, we will journey through sound, gently attuning to the rhythm of the Full Moon.

Join Rosie and Claire for a Blissful Evening of Sacred Sound and Guided Meditation

Wednesday, 4th June
7:00 – 8:30 PM
Ceceilia Hall, Puttenham

As the golden sun sets over the Chiltern Hills, you are warmly invited to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the quiet wisdom of nature. This is a moment to find stillness and take comfort in the simple truth that each day the sun sets, the moon rises, and with each dawn, the light returns.

Through intuitive, channeled singing and gentle guided meditation, you’ll be lovingly held in a space of calm and reflection. Together, we will journey through sound, gently aligning with the rhythms of the setting sun.

Our time together will close with a peaceful ceremony, as we watch the sky transform into hues of gold, honoring the beauty of the day’s end and the promise of renewal.

Earth Day is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a call to awareness. A moment to pause and reflect on our relationship with the planet we call home.

It invites us to consider the impact of our choices and renew our commitment to nurturing the Earth that sustains us.

But it’s also a time to look inward. To see ourselves with compassion. To recognise that we are love—and from that place, to extend care not just to others, but to all beings and the Earth itself.

At Wild Ivy Retreats, we’ve been creating and holding space for nature-based experiences for the past five years. The word retreat often evokes the idea of escape—from stress, routine, or the noise of daily life.

But what if it wasn’t about escaping?
 What if it was about returning?

Our retreats are born from reverence for nature—not to leave life behind, but to bring you back. Back to your body. Back to your community. Back to the land beneath your feet.

So this Earth Day, we don’t retreat.
 We come home.
