The Sacred Pause – Samhain Retreat
2:00pm – 5:30pm
£55 pp + Eventbrite fee
Sometimes the most sacred growth happens in the dark, in the stillness, in the pause.
Step into the sacred darkness of Samhain knowing you are eternal.
As the wheel of the year turns to Samhain, the Celtic New Year, we enter a powerful season of release, reflection, and renewal. With the veil between worlds at its thinnest, this is a time to let go of what no longer serves you and reconnect with your inner truth.
Samhain reminds us that darkness is not something to fear—it is where rest, healing, and transformation begin. Before new life emerges, there is a sacred pause.
Join us for The Sacred Pause—a deeply nourishing afternoon of movement, meditation, ceremony, and sound designed to restore your energy, open your heart, and bring you back to yourself.
Step into the darkness of midwinter knowing you are eternal.
Honour the moment as the season turns into the darkest part of the year and know it has purpose for you.
Your Sacred Pause Journey Includes:
🙏🏻 Gentle Flowing Yoga
Release tension, ground your energy, and return to a calm, centred state through gentle, mindful movement.
✨ Cosmic Connection Meditation
Quantum philosophy and ancient wisdom meet here. We quiet ourselves into a peaceful alpha state and journey into the cosmos within. Discover the interconnectedness of all that is and your unique place within it. Sense the still, creative field from which all life arises.
A deeply grounding yet expansive journey into remembrance of your eternal nature.
🔔 Sound Bath
Surrender into deep rest as Crystal Singing Bowls and a 36” Gong wash through you, clearing energy and restoring inner harmony.
🤲 Reiki Healing, Gentle Meditation & Quantum Field Integration
Receive deeply restorative Reiki within a powerful guided meditation in the quantum field. In this infinite space of possibility where energy and consciousness meet- you are supported in releasing limitation, aligning with your highest path, and remembering your innate wholeness. Plant intentions for the season ahead and trust your unfolding transformation.
🔥 Cacao Ceremony, Soulful Singing
As the afternoon deepens, gather around the fire at sunset for a heart-opening cacao ceremony with high-grade cacao, gentle chants, and soulful song. Singing becomes a form of breathwork—an extended exhale that supports emotional release and deep relaxation. There is no pressure, no performance—just simple, shared song guiding us into presence and remembrance.
Through sage cleansing and the rhythmic power of the shamanic drum, release what you are ready to let go of and reconnect with your inner light. A powerful space for expression, connection, and renewal.

COSMIC CONNECTION MEDITATION AND GENTLE YOGA.
· We will use a short yoga practice to become grounded and peaceful. Open the breath to enhance rest and digest biology, to feel good and assist our bodies to heal. Immune response and cell repair is enhanced when we are peaceful, when we feel good.
· Cosmic connection meditation, quantum philosophy and ancient wisdom meet here. We quiet ourselves into a peaceful alpha state and journey into the cosmos within. Discover the interconnectedness of all that is and your unique place in it. Observe the building blocks of the physical Universe as energetic and see the simmering void where creation takes place. The physical universe is malleable and responds to consciousness. Breath in the Universal life force energy that is all around to restore and reenergise your body. Know it’s all yours and you are creating with Universal Mind, a mirror for Universal Mind. Step into the darkness of midwinter knowing you are eternal.
· Singing is like pranayama, an extended, controlled out breath. Singing has been demonstrated to reduce stress and produce a mix of feel good hormones, whether alone or as a group. Don’t worry, there won’t be any solos and the words are simple. Two beautiful, soulful songs by Barbara Juniper that will remind us who we are becoming, and to honour both light and darkness as we experience them.

SOUND BATH WITH GONG AND CRYSTAL SINGING BOWLS.
As the bowls sing, their frequencies ripple through the body, helping calm the mind, release tension, and restore balance. The infusion of gemstones adds another layer of intention and energetic connection, making each session a deeply immersive experience.
Cleansing of energetic blockages — The vibration is believed to harmonise the body’s energies or chakras.
432 Hz resonates with the heart chakra, helping to release emotional blockages and promote compassion, balance, and inner peace. The sound promotes energy flow through the body.
Gong "Ukrainian Heart " 36" tuned to note F – Deep, layered cosmic vibrations that support emotional release and transformation. Gong frequencies are known for their ability to “shake loose” stagnant energy and promote a feeling of renewal. The sound waves can encourage the body to soften tightness, improve relaxation of muscles, and support physical ease.
In sound healing, the F note is primarily associated with the Heart Chakra (Anahata), the fourth energetic centre located at the centre of the chest. It is considered a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, focusing on emotional balance and connection.
It is believed to foster feelings of love, compassion, empathy, and forgiveness.
