Welcome to this 'earth alchemy’ autumnal retreat for women. An intimate group of 8 of us will share 4 nights in a former artists residence, exploring sacred sound and ceremony in the wild heart of ancient Cornwall.
My invitation to you:
This retreat is held with great love and intention, for you to access deeper awareness and stillness, away from the noise of daily life, but within the support of like-hearted community.
The words that bubble up for me around Rosemerryn are ‘rooting and remembering’; but of course this retreat will be unique for each and every one of us within the alchemy of the group. Rooting back into the sacredness of the body and the earth, remembering ourselves as one with source.
In this magical place, within sacred space, women have expressed that they can hear more clearly their own wisdom and connect with the healing energies of the land, perhaps feeling the whispers of the ancestors.
You will be supported by daily movement, voice and sound practises and special moments of ceremony. Situated near the famous Lamorna Cove, we have access to sea swims, a fogou (man made underground cave specific to Cornwall) and an abundance of nearby power sites.
Perhaps like other wise women before us, we will use these portals and practises to connect with the rhythms of nature and our own inner cycles, to find a greater sense of wholeness within ourselves, which we can integrate back into the world.
The offering:
The morning opens with meditation, voice work, somatic movement and grounding yoga postures.
The afternoon sessions will focus on sound journeying using gongs, crystal bowls, voice and an array of ancient instruments.
We will share cacao, songs and stories round the fire.
We will meditate within the fogou and take a silent sunrise walk to one of many nearby stone circles.
Three delicious plant based meals (main meal of the day at lunchtime) are created by our chef each day using local and seasonal produce.
There will be silent time each day from the evening activity until after breakfast.

“Set in ancient woodlands with an iron age fogou in the grounds, Rosemerryn was a pretty spectacular setting for what turned out to be a deeply healing weekend filled with love and incredible plant based food. Ali brought an authentic and deep connection to the land - I honestly don’t think we could have had a better experience - 100% recommend!”
