“It turns the conversation around your future on its head and enables you to approach it in a completely different, and more accessible way. I came away with a literal picture of what I want in
my future (and what I don’t!) and practical tools to help cut out the noise and work towards it. I would recommend… to anyone who wishes to crystallise what they want their future to look like.”
About the Facilitator
Amanda is passionate about bringing nature into modern everyday life to boost wellbeing, and deepen self-connection so you can create the life you love. Her home is a stone cottage in the Macclesfield hills where she walks the land and loves any excuse to stumble into a cafe for a cuppa, and cake!
Amanda’s personal journey re-connecting with nature in her late 30s led her on a journey of transformation. In 2019 she reached a fork in the road. Stuck in a cycle of feeling disconnected from herself, and with the stresses of a demanding fashion career taking its toll on her wellbeing she made a decision to brave uncertainty and change her life. With nature as her guide she has reconnected with her true self, uncovered her soul’s calling and, created a new life, and business, that she really loves.
Working with organisations such as National Trust along with corporate and private 1:1 and group clients Amanda serves from the heart as a guide, coach, mentor and trainer.

A note from Lara
Special Health considerations for Hypopressives:
The apnoea (breath-hold with vacuum) element of Hypopressive breathwork is not recommended if you are pregnant or affected by any of the following health complaints;
an active cancer
cardio-respiratory disease
uncontrolled blood pressure
acute inflammatory gut disorder such as Crohn’s Disease
had recent abdominal surgery
This is because, during the Hypopressive apnoea, pressures within the body are lowered. This ‘vacuum effect’, may not be tolerated in people with the conditions above, but will not affect your ability to do and enjoy the other elements of Hypopressive exercise.
Upon booking you will be required to complete a short health questionnaire to ensure that where necessary the technique is modified to suit you.
If in any doubt, you must seek advice from your doctor/relevant heath care professional before booking a place, I will not be able to make judgement on your fitness to participate on the day.

About the Facilitator
Her journey though life has taken twists and turns that have been challenging, interesting and brought her lots of enjoyment. Travelling for 4 years whilst she decided what she should do with her life broadened her horizons. Working in social care as a social worker and latterly a dementia trainer has increased her awareness of the trials and tribulations facing many people as well as developing her creativeness and problem-solving skills. Becoming a grandma has certainly given her much more fun that she’d ever have imagined. Working in adult career guidance made her think about the challenges faced when thinking about what’s important in life and how we have to balance where our hearts want to lead us and what is actually possible in our situations.
All of this and more has led penny to run workshops about thinking about how we make the most of our later life.

Space to Be with Ros Tennyson
SAORI Garment Making Workshop with Rosie Green
Join Rosie Green, experienced textile artist and facilitator, on this fun and creative workshop.
SAORI weaving is rooted in the activity of free-flowing, uninhibited hand weaving and the core philosophy that we are all born with unique sensibilities and the power to create. SAORI is not only a practice of connecting deeply with one’s own creative and authentic self, but it is also a practice of connecting deeply with others. By discovering and nurturing our individuality yet shared humanity and ability to express ourselves, we cultivate awareness and compassion within ourselves and our global community.
SAORI is a Japanese freestyle approach to hand-weaving that encourages people to express themselves intuitively in a fun ‘no rules, no mistakes’ attitude.
The process of making SAORI clothing does not require proficient sewing skills, just simple straight stitch on a sewing machine or sewing by hand!
We will be making a warp in a quick and easy SAORI way then weaving a length of cloth to make a simple SAORI style garment.
This retreat is aimed at those who already have a SAORI loom and would like the support, encouragement and shared inspiration to make a warp, weave the cloth and sew a garment. It is however also also open to complete beginners!
In addition to developing or learning to weave, this retreat will give allow you to unwind and find your inner peace as you work through the gentle art of SAORI weaving.
Workshop Highlights:
Opportunity to Switch Off: Escape from the hectic pace of life, slow down and create something with your hands and heart.
Creativity with Likeminded People: Enjoy some you time whilst also sharing time with others.
Delicious Nourishing Food: Enjoy our deliciously grown bio dynamic produce, from the land to the plate, lovingly created by our chefs for you to enjoy.
Tranquil Surroundings: Indulge in relaxation, leisurely walks, and fireside reading in a beautiful part of Wales, Eryri National Park.
What is SAORI?
SAORI weaving is a philosophy of personal creativity and self development practiced all over the world. With some it is a form of meditation, with others it is a means of relaxing and recharging their energies. And of course others who simply want to weave cloth!
We do not make plans, or have set ideas of what we will weave, and the finished cloth is always a surprise and a joy. The design of the looms and the type of materials we use produce a cloth that is suitable for garment making. These garments are simple, with little or no cutting to celebrate the cloth, and where drape and adjustments allow for individuality and a unique garment to suit the maker.
Within the SAORI philosophy there are five slogans of weaving which will be followed during the retreat:
Consider the differences between a machine and a human being
Be bold and adventurous
Look out through eyes that shine
Inspire one another and everyone in the community
We will follow the SAORI philosophy that we are born with creativity and intuition.
What to Expect:
From the Heart: Slip away and inspiration will come to ‘weave from your heart’. There is no pressure or expectation yet you will be surprised and amazed by what you produce in the day.
Deepen your Connection with Your Natural Self: Enhance your self-understanding through SAORI.
Disconnect from the Modern World: Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life to flow with the calming rhythm of Trigonos an option digital detox to truly unwind too.
Nourish Your Wellbeing: Rejuvenate your mental, physical state.
This Workshop will Help You:
• Calm your Mind: With a ‘no rules, no mistakes’ philosophy SAORI| weaving will relax your state of being.
• Timeout for Yourself: Opportunity to get away from the busyness of day to day life.
Who is this Workshop For?
This workshop is for anyone who needs a bit of time to switch off and re-focus, or who just wants to try something new and spend time in a beautiful place in the heart of Eryri with other like minded people.
“One of the best experiences I have booked. Rosie is an amazing woman. She completely makes you feel at ease and instills confidence in your ability to weave. And she is totally correct! I made a beautiful table runner. However, the whole experience is more than creating a beautiful piece of weaving. Words do not accurately describe this phenomenal experience. Make this a destination on your journey. Simply Amazing!”
About the Facilitator
Rosie Green was first drawn to the practical process of hand weaving when she took a course in textiles. Since then she has followed a path in weaving. In 1982 Rosie moved to North Wales where she started demonstrating in the Bodeilio Weaving Centre on Anglessey. In 2014 Rosie opened SAORIMôr and was the first registered SAORI free-weaving studio in Wales.
As her practice as an Artist Facilitator has developed and changed over the years, Rosie has learned many things about the creative process, its value and its place in the lives of all of us. The process of SAORI helps us find our way.
“I am a facilitator and instructor in SAORI weaving but I also have a long experience in traditional weaving. This helps me understand the various approaches people might have and helps me support each individual and their particular needs. The SAORI looms are easy to use and allow for the use of accessories to enable those who have any form of disability, whether significant or less so, to weave with equal value to anyone else. There is no judgement or comparison, we are all equal as human beings.”
An Insight to the Day…
The day will start with the usual introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable and understands what to expect. For the rest of the day each person works at their own pace weaving with colours and textures of their own choice with support and encouragement from Rosie. You can work quietly or talk and ask as many questions as you like. At the end of the day you will cut the work from the looms and share your experiences of the day. This can be a time to chat about what your cloth might be, share how you feel or just learn how to finish off your work.

About the Facilitator
Amanda is passionate about bringing nature into modern everyday life to boost wellbeing, and deepen self-connection so you can create the life you love. Her home is a stone cottage in the Macclesfield hills where she walks the land and loves any excuse to stumble into a cafe for a cuppa, and cake!
Amanda’s personal journey re-connecting with nature in her late 30s led her on a journey of transformation. In 2019 she reached a fork in the road. Stuck in a cycle of feeling disconnected from herself, and with the stresses of a demanding fashion career taking its toll on her wellbeing she made a decision to brave uncertainty and change her life. With nature as her guide she has reconnected with her true self, uncovered her soul’s calling and, created a new life, and business, that she really loves.

About the Facilitators
Lucas Davey
Lucas is a trained druidic bard, published author (of The Whispering Pearls), nature and visionary artist and forest gardener who is passionate about this ancient and sacred landscape we inhabit, its wildlife and our connection and relationship to them. Adopted at birth, he has always held a fascination with both our personal and collective historical and cultural ‘roots’, particularly with exploring and revealing those alchemical pathways, places and stories of our past hidden or lost to the mists of time. In line with his family’s tradition (his great grandfather founded The Byre Theatre in St Andrews, Scotland), Lucas turned his bardic talents to creating Into the Dragon’s Womb, a production he recently performed to rave reviews on the Goddess Fyr Stage at this year’s Medicine Festival. Into the Dragon’s Womb is more than just theatre, but explores the actor’s role as shaman, plunging the audience into a mythological deep-dive which, as one audience member wrote, “touches the core of who we are, reminding us of our role and responsibilities within the greater web of all beings”.
Milly Jackdaw
In 1996 Milly had a profound and unexpected encounter with Merlin whilst meditating in the eye of the neolithic, chalk figure carved into the side of Whitehorse Hill, Uffington near Oxford. Milly subsequently fulfilled her dream of becoming a professional performer and worked as such with an environmental children’s theatre company. In addition to performances, Milly facilitates workshops and run nature-based residencies in the UK. Milly has studied Welsh Mythology, trained in field ecology, plant whispering and animal communication, is a trustee of ecological restoration charity Coetir Anian, and has completed a rewilding apprenticeship. She has facilitated nature connection, tree medicine and storytelling workshops as well as leading story walks.

A note from Lara
Special Health considerations for Hypopressives:
The apnoea (breath-hold with vacuum) element of Hypopressive breathwork is not recommended if you are pregnant or affected by any of the following health complaints;
an active cancer
cardio-respiratory disease
uncontrolled blood pressure
acute inflammatory gut disorder such as Crohn’s Disease
had recent abdominal surgery
This is because, during the Hypopressive apnoea, pressures within the body are lowered. This ‘vacuum effect’, may not be tolerated in people with the conditions above, but will not affect your ability to do and enjoy the other elements of Hypopressive exercise.
Upon booking you will be required to complete a short health questionnaire to ensure that where necessary the technique is modified to suit you.
If in any doubt, you must seek advice from your doctor/relevant heath care professional before booking a place, I will not be able to make judgement on your fitness to participate on the day.

Aligning your Diet and Movement with Natures Hidden Powers Retreat with Alison Marsden
SAORI Garment Making Workshop with Rosie Green
Join Rosie Green, experienced textile artist and facilitator, on this fun and creative workshop.
SAORI weaving is rooted in the activity of free-flowing, uninhibited hand weaving and the core philosophy that we are all born with unique sensibilities and the power to create. SAORI is not only a practice of connecting deeply with one’s own creative and authentic self, but it is also a practice of connecting deeply with others. By discovering and nurturing our individuality yet shared humanity and ability to express ourselves, we cultivate awareness and compassion within ourselves and our global community.
SAORI is a Japanese freestyle approach to hand-weaving that encourages people to express themselves intuitively in a fun ‘no rules, no mistakes’ attitude.
The process of making SAORI clothing does not require proficient sewing skills, just simple straight stitch on a sewing machine or sewing by hand!
We will be making a warp in a quick and easy SAORI way then weaving a length of cloth to make a simple SAORI style garment.
This retreat is aimed at those who already have a SAORI loom and would like the support, encouragement and shared inspiration to make a warp, weave the cloth and sew a garment. It is however also also open to complete beginners!
In addition to developing or learning to weave, this retreat will give allow you to unwind and find your inner peace as you work through the gentle art of SAORI weaving.
Workshop Highlights:
Opportunity to Switch Off: Escape from the hectic pace of life, slow down and create something with your hands and heart.
Creativity with Likeminded People: Enjoy some you time whilst also sharing time with others.
Delicious Nourishing Food: Enjoy our deliciously grown bio dynamic produce, from the land to the plate, lovingly created by our chefs for you to enjoy.
Tranquil Surroundings: Indulge in relaxation, leisurely walks, and fireside reading in a beautiful part of Wales, Eryri National Park.
What is SAORI?
SAORI weaving is a philosophy of personal creativity and self development practiced all over the world. With some it is a form of meditation, with others it is a means of relaxing and recharging their energies. And of course others who simply want to weave cloth!
We do not make plans, or have set ideas of what we will weave, and the finished cloth is always a surprise and a joy. The design of the looms and the type of materials we use produce a cloth that is suitable for garment making. These garments are simple, with little or no cutting to celebrate the cloth, and where drape and adjustments allow for individuality and a unique garment to suit the maker.
Within the SAORI philosophy there are five slogans of weaving which will be followed during the retreat:
Consider the differences between a machine and a human being
Be bold and adventurous
Look out through eyes that shine
Inspire one another and everyone in the community
We will follow the SAORI philosophy that we are born with creativity and intuition.
What to Expect:
From the Heart: Slip away and inspiration will come to ‘weave from your heart’. There is no pressure or expectation yet you will be surprised and amazed by what you produce in the day.
Deepen your Connection with Your Natural Self: Enhance your self-understanding through SAORI.
Disconnect from the Modern World: Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life to flow with the calming rhythm of Trigonos an option digital detox to truly unwind too.
Nourish Your Wellbeing: Rejuvenate your mental, physical state.
This Workshop will Help You:
• Calm your Mind: With a ‘no rules, no mistakes’ philosophy SAORI| weaving will relax your state of being.
• Timeout for Yourself: Opportunity to get away from the busyness of day to day life.
Who is this Workshop For?
This workshop is for anyone who needs a bit of time to switch off and re-focus, or who just wants to try something new and spend time in a beautiful place in the heart of Eryri with other like minded people.
“One of the best experiences I have booked. Rosie is an amazing woman. She completely makes you feel at ease and instills confidence in your ability to weave. And she is totally correct! I made a beautiful table runner. However, the whole experience is more than creating a beautiful piece of weaving. Words do not accurately describe this phenomenal experience. Make this a destination on your journey. Simply Amazing!”
About the Facilitator
Rosie Green was first drawn to the practical process of hand weaving when she took a course in textiles. Since then she has followed a path in weaving. In 1982 Rosie moved to North Wales where she started demonstrating in the Bodeilio Weaving Centre on Anglessey. In 2014 Rosie opened SAORIMôr and was the first registered SAORI free-weaving studio in Wales.
As her practice as an Artist Facilitator has developed and changed over the years, Rosie has learned many things about the creative process, its value and its place in the lives of all of us. The process of SAORI helps us find our way.
“I am a facilitator and instructor in SAORI weaving but I also have a long experience in traditional weaving. This helps me understand the various approaches people might have and helps me support each individual and their particular needs. The SAORI looms are easy to use and allow for the use of accessories to enable those who have any form of disability, whether significant or less so, to weave with equal value to anyone else. There is no judgement or comparison, we are all equal as human beings.”
An Insight to the Day…
The day will start with the usual introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable and understands what to expect. For the rest of the day each person works at their own pace weaving with colours and textures of their own choice with support and encouragement from Rosie. You can work quietly or talk and ask as many questions as you like. At the end of the day you will cut the work from the looms and share your experiences of the day. This can be a time to chat about what your cloth might be, share how you feel or just learn how to finish off your work.

A note from Lara
Special Health considerations for Hypopressives:
The apnoea (breath-hold with vacuum) element of Hypopressive breathwork is not recommended if you are pregnant or affected by any of the following health complaints;
an active cancer
cardio-respiratory disease
uncontrolled blood pressure
acute inflammatory gut disorder such as Crohn’s Disease
had recent abdominal surgery
This is because, during the Hypopressive apnoea, pressures within the body are lowered. This ‘vacuum effect’, may not be tolerated in people with the conditions above, but will not affect your ability to do and enjoy the other elements of Hypopressive exercise.
Upon booking you will be required to complete a short health questionnaire to ensure that where necessary the technique is modified to suit you.
If in any doubt, you must seek advice from your doctor/relevant heath care professional before booking a place, I will not be able to make judgement on your fitness to participate on the day

About the Facilitator
Eta Ingham Lawrie is a remarkable artist who over more than six decades has brought light, warmth and colour into people’s lives – whether by working on a small scale producing a range of textile pieces for individuals, or by creating magnificent large scale hangings for public buildings and private collectors. Her work is said to be “both intensely bold and extraordinarily subtle”.
The inspiration for Eta’s woven wall-hangings comes from the ever-changing light over land and sea, and on which she bases her creations, using hand dyed fleece and wool, and many other natural materials. She also incorporates natural found objects such as stone, shell, and wood into her weavings.

Mindful Movement Retreat with Sarah Silverton
Mindful Movement Retreat
Join Sarah Silverton to deepen your mindfulness practice and to take good care of yourself. The silent retreat is intentionally designed to have a greater amount of mindful movement practices to meet those of us whose bodies will enjoy gentle movement, rather than a lot of long sitting periods.
There will be long lunchtime each day so time to walk, swim or rest/sleep. The practice will be approximately one third sitting practice and two thirds a mix of mindful movement practices, some guided, some self-guided.
The retreat will meet retreat requirements for mindfulness teachers registered, or registering, with BAMBA.
