Restore, reconnect and realign your mind, body and soul with a seasonal retreat day filled with nature's medicine.
About this event
A magical day lies waiting for you. Step away from the busyness of everyday life to join Amanda in the hidden Cheshire countryside for a deeply restorative, connective and inspiring day for you. Explore your connection with nature, yourself and those gathered through an immersive experience that includes guided forest-bathing, plant medicine cacao, meditation, and self connection activities.
Slow right down to the pace of nature as we wander in semi-ancient woodland, meet your true self around the fire and open your heart with cacao. Cleanse and renew your energy with nature rituals and practices. Gain clarity, and come into alignment with seasonal energy, your needs and soul’s desires for the season ahead.
Specially curated to balance your nervous system, boost your immune system, calm your mind, bring you into present awareness, reinvigorate your energy and gain clarity for the season ahead.
A sense of spaciousness is woven throughout that enables you to simply be.

The experience left me with a whole feeling that I haven’t had for years. A feeling that things are just as they should be. In that way there was something transformative & transcendental for me.

What an amazing day... calming, relaxing & revitalising. I felt so at peace... instantly calmer the minute I arrived. I loved the cacao ceremony. This is a day that I will feel the benefits from for a long time.

I felt like I’d stepped away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life & felt totally relaxed in the woods. I felt totally fulfilled & wholesome after the event. I would highly recommend... for anyone looking to reset & take some time for themselves. I guarantee you’ll leave feeling refreshed and inspired!
