The Gathering Ground Retreat for 2026

Booking is open!!https://bookwhen.com/sparksandseeds

When:
Friday 26th June to Monday 29th June 2025
Full price - £325 - pay deposit (£50) then full payment due by the 1st June 2026 and you can pay in instalments.

This retreat isn’t about becoming something new — it’s about returning to who you already are, beneath the noise and expectations. It’s a soft landing in a space where masks drop, laughter rises, tears are welcome, and creativity flows without judgment.

Grounded + Rooted:
The Gathering Ground is rooted in the earth — literally and energetically. Think barefoot mornings on dewy grass, hands in clay or paint, shared meals, cosy cuppas and chats with old friends and new . The land holds you, the circle holds you, and you begin to hold yourself.

Creative + Expressive:
There’s no "right" way to create here. You might be dancing, painting, journaling, singing, weaving — or simply breathing beside others doing the same. It’s not about the outcome — it’s about the joy of expression, and the safety to explore.

Playful + Light- hearted:
You’ll laugh. A lot. There may be games, unexpected joy, storytelling, silliness, spontaneous dances — a reclaiming of the freedom and playfulness that adulthood often tries to squeeze out of us.

Sacred + Soul-ful:
There’s ceremony here, but not the rigid kind — more like a circle where women speak truth and are met with silence, presence, and love. Deep conversations under the stars. Long hugs. Eye contact. Rituals that feel ancient and deeply personal.

Who is this retreat for?

It is for women from all walks of life — artists, healers, corporate women, mothers, seekers. Some are burned out. Some are blooming. All are ready to reconnect — with themselves, with other women, and with a sense of aliveness that may have been buried. This is a space for you to come as you are and leave a little, or a lot, more of who you are.

£325 all inclusive - 3 nights shared accommodation (4 per yurt), nourishing plant based meals and refreshments plus a variety of spiritual, creative and wellbeing activities that may include:
+Qoya Inspired Movement
+Oracle Cards and Journaling
+Exploring the Elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water through ritual
+Fire Circle with Drums/ Instruments
+Play, craft and creativity
+Time to rest, relax and explore the beautiful surroundings of the South Downs Way.
+More to be confirmed

Full moon blessings to all! It's not just us humans who feel the energetic shifts, animals and nature do too! Pop over and give Shelley's page a like if you'd like to know more about how to better communicate with the animals in your life.x

Full Moon Feels 🌕

It’s a full moon tonight (the buck moon)— a time of illumination, letting go, and emotional shifts. And trust me, our animals often feel it too.

If your pet seems a little clingy, restless, or “not quite themselves” today, you’re not imagining it. You may also be feeling a little strange.
Animals are sensitive to energetic shifts, including the ones we carry in our own bodies. They’re often holding space for us, sometimes without us even realising it.

✨ Try this tonight:
If it’s safe and cool enough to do so, go for a gentle walk together. Set the intention to let go of anything heavy you’ve both been carrying.
Or just sit together. Breathe. Notice. Let things settle.

💬 Here are some full moon journal prompts (for you — though you could imagine what your pet might say too):

✒️ What am I carrying that no longer feels like mine?

✒️ What thoughts or habits are ready to be released with this full moon?

✒️ What would it feel like to offer myself the same safety and calm I offer my pet?

✨ What are you and your animal letting go of this full moon?

Drop it in the comments if you feel like sharing — or just sit with the question and let it land.

As living beings, connection is at our core, whether that be to ourselves, others or the world around us. How we choose to consciously seek out that connection can differ from person to person and our drivers for connection can be different too. What motivates you to connect in this world?

I invite you to join me on Tuesday 8th July to explore this essence through Qoya Inspired Movement!

Hi! I'm a women's circle facilitator, wellbeing coach and Qoya Inspired Movement teacher, holding space for women in and around Waterlooville through circles, workshops and retreats. But my biggest gift to people is connection!

A huge part of what I do is about helping women to find community and connection within themselves and with other women and over the last 3.5years a wonderfully weird, witchy and wild community of women have gathered over in The Wisdom of Women Sisterhood .

Many moons ago we talked about doing more adventures together. However, I love being part of this stuff not just leading it so we've now officially launched the WOW Out and About element of the group. These outings are relaxed, informal and offered by women who just want company on their adventures. Some are proposed by me, some are suggested by others, not as a business or for personal gain but rather just a bunch of women doing fun stuff as friends.

We've met in Staunton for the free Yoga on a Sunday and stayed for a cuppa and chat after.

We go for walks, full moon sea dips, see shows and now we're going to head to sacred sites like Avebury.

If you'd like to join us come join the group linked above or message me for more info. ❤️
