RISE OF THE PHOENIX
REBIRTH OF THE YEAR
IMMERSION

PHOENIX

~ A mythical bird known for rising from it’s ashes
~ Said to cyclically burn to death & be reborn with renewed energy for the next cycle
~ The phoenix often serves as a symbol of renewal , rebirth, fire & passion
~ A magical creature that is called upon to ignite our true inspiration

IMMERSION

~ A state of being deeply engaged, absorbed or involved in
~ An act or instance of immersing oneself, or something

Due to the flow of the retreat & it offering so many different activities, workshops, talks & practices to ‘immerse’ yourself in, we thought ‘immersion’ captures the essence of the gathering more than ‘retreat’

Welcoming all women
To come gather in circle with us
To bathe in the magic women create when we take time to simply be with one another

The festive season often brings with it a busyness & whirlwind of being here there & everywhere ~ Socialising, over indulging, a bombardment of the senses & dropping our usual rhythm of life ~ This can often leave us feeling overwhelmed mid winter
So why not fill your cup with us & settle in to 2025 with a full heart ~ DOWN TO THE LAST FEW PLACES NOW

~ replenish & recalibrate ~

We invite you to gather with us & a glorious circle of women
Dropping into the present moment again & again
When we weave presence & consciousness into the every day
Life pulsates in an enchanted dimension
Flowing through an array of anchoring & nourishing practices
With tenderness
Sharing in the alchemy of the heart & spirit
Awakening our bodies & all they can sense & hold
Through exploration

Know that all of you is welcome just as you are
There is no right or wrong way of being

Blessed vessels, made of the earth herself
The oceans flowing through our veins
The breath of life breathing us as we breathe it
The sunshine’s rays encapsulated within our very cells
Radiating life into us & reminding us of the light that burns bright within

You are all of this ~ You are life herself

Dream & drift ~ Release & Relax
Ground & root ~ Move & feel

Land in to a new year & journey of the seasons afresh
Rising & emerging softly & slowly
From the ashes of winters deep depths, deaths & slumbers
May this cycle of the seasons commence with you feeling truly ready for it all

Each season in nature bringing it’s messages & ways of existing
May we attune to this wise & ancient ecology around us & within us

Rebirth energy commencing to slowly stir
Ready to spiral into being once again ~ Always becoming ~ Always evolving
Gift yourself time for sacred pause
Time for introspection & reflection
Away from our every day rhythms & responsibilities

Feeling the spaciousness
Multifaceted healing experiences like this can offer us
Simply being
Guided
With love & care
Cocooned

When we gather in community
Especially as women, sisters, mothers, daughter, friends, aunties & beyond
We don’t stay strangers for long
Each of us reflecting the beauty & resilience of the sacred feminine dimensions we all carry
The myriad of experiences being a woman can hold
In a space where we can be held & witnessed
We gift each other strength
Our own stories echoed in the lives of those around us
Awakening our hearts ability to hold & feel
Reminding us that we can always relate to one another
When we slow down

The strength we create within our web of hearts
Reminds us we can cut away & let go of anything weighing us down
So we may travel lighter through this beautiful chaotic life & existance
Reconfiguring & redirecting the energy in our lives
With intention
To the areas that deserve our nourishment

MAY WE RECEIVE FULLY

With the abundance that you hold ~ Full of gifts ~ Full of medicine
We root into the truths we so often forget
Reminding one another that nothing can cut that connection
Between us & source
Us & spirit ~ Us & Goddess ~ God ~ Life itself ~ Whatever we wish to call it

May your inner compass & guides be brought into the orbit of your awareness
May your bodies signals be felt & your sensitivities & sensuality pulse & expand
May you radiate your being & pure essence in all directions

Together we will travel inwards ~ A coming home to the dark fertile soils within
The void that all life is birthed from
Awareness dropping into the deep depths of the womb
The chalice for life itself ~ Herself
Journeying together
Awakening SHAKTI

Remembering the dance & spiral of life
We will celebrate & feast
Revel & relish
As we welcome reverence for life to flow

This 4 day journey has been birthed from a space of LOVE
Love is the source & life it’s gifts
May we flow from this place

Love is the whole thing
We are only the pieces ~ Rumi

The estate is a family ran business that supports community & wildlife, it is access friendly & eco conscious (solar panels, eco cleaning products, country side alliance etc) which we love & sure you will too.

Address ~ Eaton Manor, Eaton-under-Heywood, Church Stretton, Shropshire, Sy6 7DH, England

All bedrooms are en suite!
Triple & twin rooms have single beds. Single occupancy option gives you a king bed to yourself.

MEET THE SPACE HOLDERS
Sandra & Sofia ~ Creators of Love All Ways Yoga

WHO WILL BE FEEDING US

We have spent time with her over the years, connecting & enjoying an array of festivals. She is a vivacious & vibrant energy to be around!
We have collaborated on retreats & workshops in the past & so excited to work with her again. We also see her as one of our co hosts.

May we feed our bodies with love!
Let food be thy medicine & medicine be thy food ~ Hippocrates.​

MEET OUR CO~HOSTS

There’s nothing quite like being immersed in a space or container that is being held by an array of people, rather than just one sole individual.
Each person bringing their unique energies, qualities & gifts to the container & expanding the experience we take home.
We feel it creates a greater sense of community & reminds us that when we show up in circle, on retreat & to spaces like these that ~ We are all co creators, all space holding as we journey together.

She is also guardian & creator of a very special goddess temple ~’The Brigid Rooms’
The Brigid rooms is made up of a collection of rooms / space ~ A therapy room where a range of holistic therapies can be enjoyed ~ The Goddess Temple where women's circles, yoga workshops, prayer sessions, priestess trainings occur ~ A creative art space where we host art & craft workshops ~ & A peace garden to enjoy during our events.
The Brigid Rooms offers a retreat away from the busy modern world. Nestled in the beautiful Shropshire countryside ~ A sanctuary for mind, body & soul. Proud to be the first Goddess Temple in Shropshire it offers a dedicated space to honouring the divine feminine.
The Goddess & Saint Brigid sits at the heart of our temple & inspired the name ~ Brigid is an ancient & most beloved Gaelic Goddess as well as being a Christian Saint associated with compassion, healing & loving kindness.
Learn more via ~ www.thebrigidrooms.com ~ Instagram @thebrigidrooms

Michelle will be offering an interactive medicine song session with drums & rattles for us all to try out, a water ceremony with water joining us from her very special water altar at the Brigid rooms & guiding some restorative yoga on the Sunday evening session whilst Sandra & Sofia offer sound healing for the ultimate cosy cocoon experience.

~ TALKS / WORKSHOPS WITH GUEST PRESENTERS ~

gut & hormonal health talk ~ with trish

The way Trish talks & shares is inspirational & energizing. She will share simple & clear tips & tools that provide valuable insights & lessons on learning how to listen to your body & reclaim your energy. I’m sure we’ve all heard by now that ‘the gut is the second brain’ ~ This is partly due to a massive 70% of our immune system being housed & created within our gut! Your gut microbiome is a microscopic world within the world of your larger body that can reflect & influence everything else going on within & around it, making it such an important part of our bodies to learn about & be able to nourish! The nutrition pointers shared will assist the body to feel lighter & clearer, assisting to reduce imbalances & inflammation, release brain fog, manage anxiety & stress better & improve stamina. ~ Feel invigorated, nurtured & motivated!
There will also be time for a Q & A.
She will be our in house chef, see above for more info on her.

womb awakening ~ self guided massage ~ with rosie

Rosie oozes softness when holding space & will be gifting us time to really connect with the sacredness of the womb space.
This workshop will be held in an evening session & we will be lay down cacooned with cushions & blankets in a glowing, yet dark womb like environment. It will be intuitively guided.
Womb massage welcomes blood to flow more freely & can even assist in the realigning of the uterus. The womb is intricately linked to our emotions, voice, ability to digest, our gut & of course a whole load of other things. Massaging this part of our body holds endless benefits including ~ restoring hormonal balnaces, alleviating menstrual issues, assisting in a gentle perimenopause transition, less menopausal side effects, managing endometriosis, PCOS, chronic pelvic pain & can increase our libido amongst other things. This practice can be found in many cultures around the world & is a great way to boost ‘women’s wellness’, which is why it is often referred to as ‘fertility massage, as it improves our general energy. It can be a wonderful way to drop into deeper connection with our intuition, your inner waters - the rivers within ~ feeling into the source of creation itself & gives us an opportunity to tune in to anything wishing to be birthed, or perhaps let go of.
Please note ~ Whilst we talk about the 'womb space' - this is an energetic place within all women, much like the sacral chakra. You do not need to have a physical womb to connect with this part of yourself & awaken & unlock the energies & powers which are held within it. 

more on michelle’s offerings landing soon!
which includes ~ medicine songs with drums & rattles, a water ceremony & restorative yoga

~ TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR LAST ‘REBIRTH OF THE YEAR’ RETREAT ~

‘ My life has changed. So many things that I have learnt over the years came together in one weekend and where previously there was confusion and uncertainty, I dropped into deep belief. I am sure soon this feeling will ebb as I slowly get back into routine but I know that I will find it again. You have given me the most precious gift that I will cherish forever, as I now know that I can access this  space, this state and this presence of being. Thank you.
Sandra - you are a special soul. You held space so beautifully, you offered so much, your teachings so soft, feminine and transformational. my connection with you I cherish. Thank you. Sofia - what a beautiful soul you are, your words always so insightful, meaningful and profound and you were there to offer us so much and be with your beautiful young family. Thank you. I am so grateful to have you both on my path. I know we will meet again. For now I am processing, resting and taking it slow.I have had the most wonderful weekend in so many ways and on so many levels. Thank you, thank you, thank you’ 
~ Emma Yoga teacher London

‘Home now, glowing & pulsating with vibrant, warm, joyful energy and smiling as I metabloize the mind blowing experience I just had on retreat with these incredible ladies.’ ‘I learnt so much my head is exploding, we shared beautiful music play lists, books and holistic lifestyle hacks & tips. I can still feel the group hug we recieved when we left.’ ‘Beautiful asana, breathing, sound healing, sharing curcles, aromatherapy, cacao ceremonies, elemental dancing, affirmations, fire ceremonies, walking in nature. We chanted, we laughed and ofcourse we cried, shedding layers, freeing ourselves from the weight of life stuff. I am so grateful for this life changing experience. Thank you.’
