Sacred Pause ~ in the Belly of the Mother ~ Imbolc Full Moon Women’s Retreat


  • Fell Edge Barn Addingham Moorside Lane Ilkley, England, LS29 United Kingdom (map)

A COLLABORATION WITH NIKKI ASHLEY AND EMMALENE KATAYAM

in the belly of the mother

may we find refuge in the foundational rhythm of flowing

yield & rest deep within the earth, safe & warm, 

receiving nourishment in our gestation

for the spark of creation to be ignited

instinctively activated in the dance of staccato

the stirrings of seeds & the rising sap

as we prepare ourselves to break through

towards the light & expand into the realm of air

to manifest our heartfelt intentions,

both for ourselves & for the collective

Sacred Pause women’s retreat is a collaboration between myself and shamanic practitioner Emmalene Katayama.

An invitation to join us for a Sacred Pause under the full moon at the pivotal time of Imbolc. Nourishing in the divine feminine, we shall dive deep into 5Rhythms dance, self-enquiry, yoga nidra, meditation and shamanic journeying.

In this retreat we shall explore and integrate receptivity & activation, yin & yang, inner & outer dimensions of being.  

Co-creation, companionship, shared meals, a fire ceremony, being in nature and much more.

Nestled in a beautiful tranquil spot between undulating meadows and expansive open moorland, the venue has a lovely spacious wooden dancefloor, well-equipped kitchen, toilets and showers.
