✤ New Year

Samhain is the festival of endings and beginnings, of connection and renewal.
Our ancestors had gathered the harvest, slaughtered excess livestock and were now ready to bed down for the harsh winter months.
They honoured their own ancestors at this time of year and found it easier to connect with them at Samhain.
We too recognise the veil between worlds being thinner now, connections with our own ancestors can be felt so much more readily.
Outside, the trees are shedding their leaves, they are no longer needed. We too can explore our own lives and determine what we can let go of to clear the way for new growth once the time of going within has passed.
It is a time of death and rebirth, of clearing, cleansing and is a festival of acceptance and surrender to fear.
Look to your ancestors to bring guidance for the coming year and prepare to nurture yourself through the approaching winter.

Overcome Your Challenges, Accelerate Personal Growth & Build Supportive Friendships.
We all want to overcome challenges and grow, but we DON’T have the RIGHT people around us or the RIGHT knowledge and tools to help us grow.
Despite having friends, family & coworkers around each day, most of us don’t get to talk about what’s on our minds. Nor do we have healthy role models to learn from. This peculiar isolation results in:
Challenges feeling more difficult to navigate
Pressure and overwhelm
Anxiety and depression
Rocky relationships
Poor boundaries (“Nice Person Syndrome”)
Loneliness
A lack of results
Unhealthy behaviours & addictions (porn etc)
Here’s a few of the challenges that a NaturAlly Fed’s Retreat can tackle together:
Childhood Trauma
Divorce & Relationship Breakups
“Nice Person Syndrome”
Improving Communication
Managing Emotions
Being A Dad/Mum
Family Issues
Work & Purpose
Sexual Drive and performance Motivation

What We Do In a Retreat
Retreats will involve a comprehensive programme to help your body, mind and soul through a mix of approaches, including circles, pair and group conversations, physical activities, guided meditations, specific workshops as well as group coaching sessions.
Aside from our discussion, for those individuals that want to step up their game, I also offer a one-to-one coaching session to help you on your personal growth journey.
I work with plant medicine throughout the retreat to achieve better effects through the transformation process and long-lasting change thereafter. These plants are discussed during a 1-2-1 assessment with each participant.
In every retreat, I also offer a great healthy plant-based menu to look after our bodies and help us detox. We also have a wild nature pond, a sauna and cold showers to fire our engines.
It feels so good to hear someone say, “I went through that same thing. I FEEL YOU... Here’s what I did. Here’s what I learned.”
Price
£450 per person - concessions available for people on a low income.
How Do I Benefit From a NaturAlly Fed’s Retreat
Save Time
Seeing how other people handled similar issues and receiving guidance from other participants will save you time and energy compared to trying to figure it all out on your own.
Better Family Relationships
Learning from other people will fast track your journey to becoming a better parent, partner and friend, as well as heal your relationship with your own parents. Learn to communicate better as a partner and you’ll see tremendous benefit in your relationships.
Get Stuff Off Your Chest
If we don’t have a safe place to vent, we will put everything on our family, friends, or partner. A retreat will help you get stuff off your chest so you don’t take it out on others.
Fun Social Time
Most people have a hard time creating and maintaining friendships as they age. Yet social time is important. Banter, camaraderie, and being a part of a social community feels great.
Happier & Successful
You won’t reach your potential living in a bubble. Receiving perspective and guidance in a retreat is by far the fastest way to achieve more happiness and success.
Real Friendships
You will build friendships with inspiring people who share your values, goals and interests. Life-long friendships come from being there for each other in a retreat.

Dec
Winter Solstice - online
✤ Yule
✤ Sunset 21st December (usually), for 3 days
✤ A major quarter festival
✤ Time to celebrate the rebirth of the sun
✤ Rest and sleep in the warmth of your home
✤ Be aware of issues and know they will pass
✤ Enjoy the company of family and friends
Read more below by clicking on the arrow to the side --->
This is one of the two occasions in the year when the sun appears to rise and set in the same locations for 3 days in a row. Up until this date, the days have been getting shorter as the sun’s time in the sky lessens.
On this day, the sun appears to be reborn, the days begin to lengthen and our ancestors celebrated this event with a festival of feasting. Surely now signs of spring would soon begin to arrive, life would stir and the whole cycle of life would recommence.
The days are cold, the nights are colder. It’s still a time to retreat, to huddle by the hearth and to conserve strength until the light shines a little brighter.
We can take heed of our ancestors and of nature by taking care of ourselves now. Despite the rush and stress that often accompanies the commercially driven versions of Yule we can benefit by stopping for a while. By doing no more than we absolutely have to,
Settle down. Know that life will get brighter as sure as the summer sky will be graced with our sun in the coming months.

Mar
Imbolc
✤ Sunset 31st January to sunset 2nd February
✤ Cross Quarter Day
✤ Time to sort your seeds for the coming year
✤ Time to plan your hopes and dreams
✤ Welcome in the hope of new life
✤ Spend time outdoors noting the changes
Read more below by clicking on the arrow to the side --->
After a long hard winter, the first signs of growth are easy to spot in the countryside at last. Traditionally, Imbolc was celebrated when the first milk could be drawn from the livestock who had recently given birth.
Snowdrops may well be in evidence, peeping through the bare soil of our woodlands and hedgerows. Close inspection will reveal swollen buds on some of our native trees as the leaves begin to prepare for bursting out later in the year.
However, it’s still too early for most of nature to stir into activity. The weather can change and plunge us into the depths of winter overnight.
Imbolc is the time to plan. It’s time to think of our new beginnings and to allow the stirrings of excitement as we think of what seeds we want to plant, both physically and symbolically.
What would you like to grow this year? What projects could you breathe life into as the sun begins his march across the sky?
How will you work with the goddess Brighid to realise your dreams for the coming year?
Apr
Spring Equinox - online
✤ March 21st to 23rd (variable by a day)
✤ Quarter Day
✤ The countryside begins to stir
✤ Our life force begins to flow
✤ Plant those seeds
✤ Begin to cultivate your hopes and dreams
✤ Deepen into your life
✤ Build your relationships
Read more below by clicking on the arrow to the side --->
This is a time of balance. For this brief instant instance, night and day are of equal length. During the days following the spring (vernal) equinox, we will have more daylight than darkness.
Spring is well and truly here now. Early flowers grace our woodland floors, taking advantage of the early light before the leaf canopy closes out the sun later in the year.
Seeds can be sown, crops can be tended, new life is now underway. It appears that anything is possible.
Now is the time for action and growth, a time to build on the planning that we did earlier in the year. We must seize the day and make the most of the growing hours of warmth and light.
Every venture outdoors will reveal something new, something tender as nature responds to the call of the sun.
We can respond to that call too. It’s time to act, time to look forward to the harvest. Those seeds of emerging ideas that you sifted through at Imbolc... begin to cultivate them.
Gently deepen into your life once more, grasp hold of the life force that now flows freely through all the cosmos and make it your own.
May
Beltane
✤ Sunset 30th April to sunset 2nd May
✤ Cross quarter day
✤ A time of passion and abundance
✤ Continue to cultivate your dreams
✤ Spend time outdoors soaking up the energies
✤ Commune with the Sidhe realm
✤ Enjoy your freedom, play, embody Pan’s energy
Read more below by clicking on the arrow to the side --->
The hawthorn is blossoming, song birds are singing and most creatures are turning their attention to raising a family. Beltane is full of abundance, creativity, lust, fertility and free- spiritedness.
Can you see Pan running wild through his woodlands? This is the season of love and passion. The faeries, elves and other nature spirits are easier to connect with now, so take advantage by visiting known haunts such as old woodlands, hidden dells, secret waterfalls and sacred places.
Take your drum or rattle out into nature and journey under the leaves of your local woodland. Sit by your stream and let the tinkle of the water wash through you.
Step fully into your creative self too. Rise early whenever you can and immerse yourself in the energies that are coursing through our land.
Continue to cultivate your plans, invest time in your dreams and watch as nature lends a helping hand. Set your intent and work mindfully towards your heart-centred goals, knowing that, if it’s for your best, it will come to be.
Jun
Summer Solstice - online
✤ June 20th - 22nd
✤ Major quarter day
✤ Time to soak up the sun and play
✤ Time for rituals and magical workings
✤ Make the most of the long days
✤ Empower yourself, recognise your strength
✤ Know that the time of harvest nears
Read more below by clicking on the arrow to the side --->
The time of the longest day, summer solstice equates to the energies of the full moon in many respects and is a powerful time to enjoy ritual and magic workings with spirit.
For our ancestors, this marked an easier time of year. The long hours of daylight afforded plenty of time to get on with the tasks of the day and perhaps even afforded the chance to create, play and simply ‘be’ present.
Often we too take our holidays in the months of high summer, acknowledging this to be a good time to soak up some rest and relaxation as we watch our projects come together.
The nights are going to begin drawing in from this point onwards and this acts as a gentle reminder that we must make the most of our days now. Soon we’ll be thinking of gathering the harvest and reaping the results of our earlier sowings, but for now we can sit back and indulge ourselves somewhat.
At the same time, we do need to keep a weather eye on our domain, not letting the weeds of self-doubt or procrastination creep unnoticed into the garden of our dream-making.
Welcome your power, know who you are, stand strong under the midday sun.
Jul
Lammas
✤ Sunset 31st July to sunset 2nd August
✤ Cross quarter day
✤ The time of the first harvest
✤ Plan to reap what you have sown
✤ Offer some of your abundance back to the land
✤ Give thanks for the people around you
✤ Share your first fruits
✤ Be ready for the time of harvest
Read more below by clicking on the arrow to the side --->
Summer has now reached its zenith, the days are at their hottest and our countryside can be parched and dry. Most flowers have been and gone, leaving behind the signs of seedheads and fruit.
Already some crops are ready to harvest and our ancestors would have marked this time with crop gathering, remembering, of course, to give the first fruits back to Mother Earth as a thank you for her gifts.
Often, loaves baked and beer brewed from the first crops would be returned to the land as an offering to the gods and goddesses of the land. The hope would be for good weather and a long harvest season in preparation for another winter’s darkness.
Can you too bring a harvest in from your work of the past few months? Can you begin to see the results of your planting and cultivating? How can you share your crops with your community?
The main harvest time is still to come, but perhaps you can see the signs of abundance and feel proud of your work done so far.
Aug
Autumn Equinox - online
✤ September 21st to 23rd (give or take a day)
✤ Discard what is rotten and not needed
✤ Work with your community
✤ Evaluate your past year
✤ See what needs to be cleared away
✤ Take stock and balance your life
Read more below by clicking on the arrow to the side --->
Once again, the day and night are of equal length as we celebrate this quarter festival.
The harvest goes on, often racing against the weather. Plants begin to lay down their own seeds in the fertile soil ready for the coming growing season when the wheel turns once more.
This is a busy time of year as the collecting of crops is in full swing. Anything rotten or not needed is discarded to make way for the new harvest.
Our ancient ancestor’s whole community would be busy working together to ensure the best chance of surviving the coming winter.
Now’s the time to cast your eye’s back over the past year and to evaluate how you’ve done. Look closely at your life and see what needs to be shifted in advance of the winter ahead.
Balance your life as best you can and lay down some reserves of energy to see you through.
The time to rest is approaching but we are not there yet. There’s still lots to do in preparation.
