There may even be some light entertainment in the wings... all will be revealed soon, so make sure you pay them a visit.

Village Heart therapies and workshops will be available 10:00 - 18:00 daily.
Our full workshop schedule will be released closer to the date.

Feeling a bit "off" or struggling to catch those Z’s?
Your body might just need a serotonin boost! ✨
Massage Therapy isn’t just a luxury—it’s a reset button for your nervous system.
By boosting serotonin (the "feel-good" hormone), massage naturally lowers anxiety and helps your body produce the melatonin you need for deep, restorative sleep. 💤
If you’ve been tossing and turning, let us help you find your calm.
✨ Available This Saturday! ✨
We have 2 appointments left at The Pixie Retreat.
Treat your mind and body to the rest they deserve and wake up feeling brand new.
Book your Saturday escape here!

Happy International Women’s Day from The Pixie Retreat! 🌸✨

Since 1911, this day has belonged to everyone who believes in equality and progress. Today is all about celebrating how far we’ve come and lifting each other up to forge a more inclusive world.
Celebrating International Women’s Day allows us to:
🌟 Honour Achievements: Recognizing the incredible strength and success of women everywhere.
🌟 Promote Inclusivity: Every action, big or small, is a valid step toward gender parity.
🌟 Build Connection: Because when women support women, beautiful things happen. 💖
Empowered women empower women. Through kindness, support, and the essential act of self-care, we remind one another that we are worthy, strong, and capable of anything.
Take care of your body. Take care of your mind. Take care of each other. 🌿🌷

Did you know that Mothering Sunday was previously referred to as 'Refreshment Sunday', and it marked the mid-Lent period when fasting restrictions were relaxed for the day, allowing families to come together and savour a delightful meal. It offered a chance to enjoy some indulgent, rich food for the day, providing a break from the rigorous Lenten observances.
I don't know about you, but I absolutely LOVE the excuse of Mothers Day to get together with my family and share a delicious meal, a few giggles and lots of cuddles with the Grandkids. Unfortunately, my Mom is no longer with us, but we absolutely do raise a glass in her honour, as Muvs Day, as we called it, was a particular favourite of hers, for exactly the same reasons as it's mine.
Do you celebrate? If so, how do you do it?
If you are seeking a special Mothers Day Gift, why not give the gift of relaxation?
Gift Vouchers available either in person or here: www.thepixieretreat.co.uk/gift-card

The autumnal equinox occurs in September each year, and in the northern hemisphere, the date marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Day and night are the same length today.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
What rituals will you create to say goodbye to summer and prepare for Autumn?⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Mabon is the perfect time to reconnect with nature to make yourself feel balanced and grounded, try a simple walk in our beautiful National Forest. ⠀⠀
Being outdoors allows you to witness the changing of the seasons firsthand. The vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows of the leaves signal the beauty of nature’s transition and the ongoing cycles of growth, decay, and renewal.⠀⠀
Set up a simple altar at home with autumnal items like leaves, nuts, berries, and candles. This can serve as a focal point for your thoughts on gratitude and letting go⠀⠀
Go barefoot on the ground, put your hands in the soil, clean and smudge your home.⠀⠀
Take a cleansing bath with lavender and frankincense.⠀⠀⠀
Mabon is also a time to think of those less fortunate, maybe volunteer or donate to your local foodbank, in keeping with the sharing of Harvest ⠀⠀

Happy Bank Holiday!!! I hope everyone has managed to enjoy some relaxation time and a bit of sunshine 🌞
My weekend has been very eventful 😅 I broke down outside The Pixie Retreat on Friday morning.
I was all loaded up and ready to set off for a festival at OUT TO GRASS when my car refused to start. The RAC eta kept getting later & later so I put a plea out on This is Swad (Official) and as a result, I was eventually jump started by a gorgeous local couple. I got my car checked over by Martins Garage Swadlincote who also responded to my plea, and eventually arrived at the event early Friday evening.
I've had a wonderful time providing my therapies in the most beautiful surroundings and am now home for a date with my washing machine l.
Looking forward to being back at tomorrow x
