Welcome to 'Sacred sound & silence’, an Earth Sea Sky retreat at a hidden location in the South Helford area of Cornwall. Around this potent time of Samhain our group of 8 women will share 3 nights in a historic farmstead set amongst golden autumnal woodlands and peaceful creeks. At the heart of this programme is to spend a day in nourishing silence as well as journeying deeply with sound.

As we transition into shorter days, nature’s invitation is to slow down and tend to the inner landscape. This retreat invites you to listen within, to nourish the deep essence. Each day begins with yin yoga, somatic movement and breath practises as well as simple silent sitting. In late afternoon we will light the fire and gather for a sound journey of gongs, crystal bowls, drum, voice and many other elemental and ancient instruments.

Three delicious plant based meals daily are created by our chef Nicky who will also offer an evening of healing harp and gentle song.

Throughout the retreat we will create moments of ceremony and sharing; free time to walk and swim as a group or to rest and enjoy your own space, reading, journalling etc.
