Angie Latham of Sacred Earth Sound Therapy

1pm till 4pm 

at Elmslie House , Malvern

We invite you to join us on a nourishing 3-hour afternoon Retreat for Women on September 25th

Inviting deep release and healing, crafted to nourish, ground, allow and enter into a tranquil, nurturing and restorative space. Experience original guided meditation journeys, the magical world of sound healing, breath work, and gentle accessible Somatic movement are woven together, promoting healing, nervous system regulation, calming, deep release and self reflection.

This experience is an invitation to re-connect, slow down, soften, decompress, to release stresses that build up over time. This is a safe opportunity to unwind and become fully present — creating space for renewal; planting new seeds for personal growth and discovering new intentions, as we leave the intensity of the Summer behind and welcome the harvest and colour of Autumn, which is particularly welcome this year!

Through sound healing, quietening, both gentle movement and stillness, embodied mindful awareness, connecting to the simplicity of the breath, you are supported to settle deeply and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe, spacious, unrushed and highly enjoyable! As the leaves fall for Autumn, you too can gently undo, clear mental clutter, unburden to bask in stillness and gather, reflect and tune in to your new personal season ahead leaving you with a fresh perspective and lightness to carry forward into Autumn and beyond.

The retreat is held by Alix and Angie, creative, authentic, highly experienced and skillful facilitators with 28 years of shared experience. Their strength lies in creating a welcoming, heart led and grounded environment where people feel comfortable, heard and supported. This space is especially nourishing for caregivers, therapists, and those who give of themselves, If you are accustomed to holding space for others, through work or home life, this is an opportunity to receive, and to have time and space to be guided to unwind and refill your inner reserves in an environment that is warm, authentic, and deeply supportive.

Experienced space holders to assist unwinding, healing and grounding, in our busy worlds we need time to jettison the old and bring clarity for our future.

Our Friday afternoon retreat consists of over 2 and a half hours of nourishing practices with some social time at the end to connect and chat with like minded women and enjoy refreshing herbal teas and scrumptious homemade cake with healthy options too, provided by Anna of Elmslie House.
