Connect & Empower

Four Day Retreat

Eden Rise Retreat Centre, Totnes, Devon. Thursday 4 - Sunday 7th September 2025

We live in a world of stimulation, under layers of conditioning. Reflection, healing and growth need space to occur, and thrive when held in and inspired by community and connection with nature, self and other.

Join us on retreat as the summer drive starts to wane and we settle into the golden tones that signal the drawing in of autumn.

Will we share and appreciate abundant nourishing vegetarian and vegan meals, daily yoga and meditation, nature connection rituals and practices, sharing circles, gong bath, rest and workshops. Alongside daily guided reflections encourage acceptance, trust and welcoming of all parts of you.

'On retreat we have sacred space to cultivate our connectedness with Nature, with our nature. Reawakening our senses, resting in our effortless and essential self, and remembering our 'place in the family of things' (Mary Oliver). Through appreciation, deep listening and reciprocity we'll be energised and find inspiration and resources to meet complex times.' (Ellen Grieves)

Everything is an invitation, all offerings and teachers are trauma informed.
