Join holistic movement facilitator Alexander Holloway (The Joyful Life Guide) and naturopathic wellness practitioner Sally (Natures Divine Naturopath) for an intimate, deeply nourishing one-day retreat of music, movement, cacao, essential oils, naturopathic nourishment, sauna, nature and deep connection.
Designed to help you ground your energy, set soulful intentions, and return to absolute presence.
Date: Sunday 6th September 2026
Time: 10:00am – 5:00pm
Venue: Mud & Wool, Lampeter, West Wales (A stunning 14-acre smallholding nestled between the Cambrian Mountains and the West Wales coastline)
As the late summer sun begins to soften and nature hints at the shifts of autumn, we are invited to do the same. September is a powerful time of transition—a moment to harvest the energy of the summer, slow our rhythm, and plant deep roots for the months ahead.
Designed to help you ground your energy, set soulful intentions, and return to absolute presence.
The Journey of the Day:
Set within the inspiring, light-filled studio and peaceful outdoor areas of Mud & Wool, West Wales, our day is carefully structured to move you from gentle awakening into joyful expression, followed by deep, integrated rest.
Arrive & Align: We begin our day gathering in community, opening the space by setting conscious intentions for this seasonal transition.
Sacred Cacao Ceremony: We gather to share ceremonial cacao. This heart-opening medicine acts as a gentle catalyst, helping us deepen our internal focus and anchor our intentions.
Tai-Chi Qigong Warm-Up: Led by Alexander, you will be guided through gentle, flowing Qigong movements. This ancient practice clears stagnant energy, harmonises the breath, and builds a stable, rooted foundation in the body.
Ecstatic Dance Meditation: With a clear mind and a warm body, we step into a liberating Dance Meditation session. This is an inclusive, creative, and non-judgmental space to let go of stories, tap into your authentic rhythm, and celebrate joyful self-expression.
Sound Healing & Grounding: Allow yourself to completely surrender as Sally guides us through a restorative sound bath. The therapeutic frequencies will wash over you, soothing the nervous system and facilitating deep cell-level relaxation.
Naturopathic Lunch & Seasonal Nourishment: Sally will treat our bodies to a vibrant, healthy, and highly nutritious naturopathic lunch, alongside wholesome drinks and nibbles throughout the day. Every bite is crafted to support your vitality and ground your system.
Sauna & Integration Time: True transformation requires space to settle. You will have full access to Mud & Wool’s beautiful wood-fired sauna to renew, step into the cold plunge if you choose, reflect by the fire pits, or simply wander the 14 acres of breathtaking Welsh countryside to integrate your experience.
