Lisa runs the most amazing workshops to help women find their purpose and break free from the story that’s been holding them back! Lisa will be joining us all weekend and leading you through a intimate storytelling session followed by a vision board creative session outside on the Deck under the oak trees! (Ow yeah!)
Meet Emma
Emma is a gorgeous soul and incredible Holistic Therapist – I can’t wait for her to share her gifts with you all! Emma’s also a Kundalini Teacher and a dear, dear friend of mine. You will be treated to one of Emma’s famous holistic & intuitive facials over the weekend in our private zen den treatment room – think candles, crystals, and essential oils – I know, dreamy! Talk about luxury ladies!
Meet Hayley
Hayley is a breath-taking Sacred Sound Healer working with both the Gongs and Crystal Singing Bowls – it’s just out of this world! Hayley is also a Wim Hof Method Instructor (Super cool!) and Yoga Teacher – so you’ll find Hayley incorporates her healing and powerful breath-work into her sacred sound healing workshop – if you’ve never experienced crystal bowls, you’re in for a real divine treat!
[The venue]
Ahh, this venue in Cumbria will take your breath away from the moment you arrive. Set in 14 acres of woodland and blooming flowers, these newly renovated five star cottages combine exceptional quality and luxury with character and charm. Just wait until you wake up to the sound of the birds!
I have rented out the WHOLE premises (3 cottages, gardens and terrace) for us to enjoy completely – there will be no one in sight, but us gorgeous women sharing this divine experience together!
The cottages each have their own kitchen, relaxing spaces, outdoor spaces and incredible views of the countryside. You’ll feel relaxed and completely at home from the second you walk through the door – I just know you’ll be blown away!
As you scroll down this web page you’ll be able to find out more about your luxury en-suite accommodation.

[All inclusive Vegan nourishing food]
All your delicious and nutritious meals will be provided throughout the weekend by our onsite chef – including fresh green juices, healthy nibbles and dips (Yum yum!). You’ll have access to fresh flavoured water and herbal teas as well as mid day healthy snacks – don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! No one will be going hungry this weekend that’s for sure!
I’ve worked closely with my incredible Chef Paula to design a menu that will energise you, refresh you, but also fill you up! On Saturday night Paula will be hosting a Plant Based BBQ on the deck after our Cacao Ceremony (led by moi!) outlooking the gorgeous country side and sun set – it’s going to be a night to remember!
*All dietary requirements can be catered for. Once you’ve registered your space, please email [email protected] outlining your requirements.
[Saturday Night Sacred Cacao Ceremony followed by Vegan BBQ]
On Saturday evening I’ve planned a super special celebration for us all. We’ll meet on the Deck outside where you’ll be invited into our Sacred Cacao Ceremony led by myself (Alice.)
This is a divine Cacao Ceremony inspired by my time in Bali. Ceremonial cacao is known as ‘the food of the Gods’ and a natural heart opener. The divine chocolatey magic opens your heart and allows you to raise your vibration in a soft, gentle way – bringing you closer to your truth.
Expect singing, dancing and sacred time together around the fire as the sun sets over the hills. This will be a special evening of sisterhood and deep connection with self.
Following the ceremony we’ll enjoy a vegan BBQ whilst overlooking luscious Cumbrian countryside listening to amazing music!
There will be a range of wonderful surprises throughout the weekend but I’ll keep some of the details a surprise!
[Intuitive Facial Treatment]
Ahhh, now it wouldn’t be a Retreat without a luxurious crystal treatment would it?!
Throughout the weekend you will have a private facial treatment with our incredible Holistic Therapist Emma.
This will be a mini facial treatment using intuitive touch and crystal energy. Including a deep cleanse, exfoliation to rid dead skin cells, healing deep tissue massage, working on pressure points on the face, neck and scalp and of course lymphatic draining techniques.
This will be a relaxing and magical experience reducing stress and the effects it has on the skin. (All treatments, workshops and classes are included in the price, no extra cost.)
[Sacred Sound Healing]
Over the weekend you will also enjoy a unique Sacred Sound Session with the crystal healing bowls outdoors surrounded by the trees – dreamy!
As you snuggle down on your mat the healing vibrations of the gong and crystal bowls will ripple through you, cleansing your aura, lifting your vibration and re-setting your nervous system – remember we can only handly in life what our nervous system can handle!
We’re excited for you to experience Hayley’s magic for this rare opportunity of outdoor sound healing!
[Work with the healing energy of herbs and create your own smudge wand]
For the first time at our retreats we will be working with the healing energy of plants and herbs. I’ve been working with plants in my own spiritual practise for years and their magic continues to surprise, heal and raise my vibration in ways I didn’t know possible. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about how to make your own sage wand using a selection of herbs and divine flowers.
This will be an opportunity for you connect deeper to Mother Earth, nature’s finest remedies and create something to take home with you as you carry on your healing journey. This will be a workshop led by myself and I can’t wait to get witchy with you!

[FAQs]
What if I’m coming to the Retreat alone?
Great! I’ve been to many events like this – some alone and some with friends and what I find is that by the end of the event, I’ve met so many wonderful friends. Myself and the rest of the retreat team will be there to welcome you and introduce you to everyone – trust me, as soon as you’ll arrive you’ll feel right at home!
What if I can’t arrive until late Friday evening?
I know that some people wont be able to arrive until later in the evening due to work or family commitments. Take your time, we’ll be ready to welcome you with open arms when you arrive! We’ll be enjoying a ‘Welcome circle’ at 8:20pm, however if you’re unable to join until later that’s fine. I’ll be there to show you around and to your room.
What if I have to leave early on Sunday?
That’s absolutely fine if you need to leave earlier. (I’ll send you off with a few vegan treats so you don’t miss out on the final gorgeous food of the day! And of course a big hug!)
I have special dietary requirements…will there be food for me?
Of course. Just send me your requirements ([email protected]) and I’ll be sure to pass those on to our wonderful caterers. They are incredible and will have you covered. When it comes to the retreat, we will let you know which meals are for your requirements.
I don’t have a car…am I able to get their via train?
Yes. The nearest train station is a 15/20 minute taxi drive away and has links to all main cities. I’m sure people will be ‘car sharing’ on the way too so I may be able to introduce you to someone who is local.
Do I need extra money for anything else?
This is an all inclusive retreat so the price of the retreat covers your food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and refreshments, your accommodation, holistic treatment and all workshops and experiences. So, nope, no extra money is needed.
Will I be sharing my room with someone else?
There’s a mix of rooms. There’s private rooms and twin bedroom rooms. Once you reserve your space, email [email protected] to share your preference and I will do my best to match your preference. All rooms are the same price. Private rooms are taken on a first come first served basis.
Have any other questions? Simply email me at [email protected] – I would recommend asking your questions ASAP as I wouldn’t want the retreat to sell out whilst you wait for a response – it’s going to be just wonderful!
[What happens once I join?]
Once you join you will receive a confirmation and welcome email from me (Alice)! It will be my pleasure to send you this – I can’t wait! If you don’t receive this, please do email [email protected]
Closer to the retreat you will be invited to a private Facebook Group where you can connect with the other women attending ahead of the weekend if you wish. Fabulous!
On 26th June you will receive a reminder to pay the remaining balance of the retreat via email. This will be a final payment of £226 – the retreat is a total of £425. So once you pay your deposit of £199 today, you will only have one more payment of £226 left.
You will receive a full schedule of the weekend ahead of your stay so you can plan out what outfits you would like to bring along – I know this is super handy! (For example you may want trainers a leisurely walk.)
What else should I know?
Payment 1 will act as a deposit to reserve your spot. This deposit is non-refundable. You are able to cancel 40 days before the retreat, however anytime after that you will need to pay in full. If you need to sell your space to a friend or family member that is absolutely fine just please do let us know so we can update the details. (We can’t wait to meet you!)
A LITTLE LOVE FROM THE WOMEN WHO'VE BEEN ON MY RETREATS
“I’ve been practicing mindful meditation for about a year, so was excited by the prospect of joining a friend for my first ever weekend retreat. I’d been following Alice on Instagram and had signed up for her weekly Love Mail. My friend had joined a one day workshop with Alice previously and highly recommended the retreat. However I wasn’t sure what to expect.
From the moment I arrived I felt so comfortable and welcome. I was surrounded by about 15 wonderful women, from all parts of the country and all on their own personal journey of growth.
The retreat was a glorious weekend of self discovery, with guided meditation sessions, beautiful gratitude sessions alongside a glorious vegan feast throughout the weekend and time to journal and capture your thoughts, chat with the inspirational women and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
I revelled in the opportunity to experience so many firsts – my first Reiki treatment, which was frankly unbelievable. It literally blew my mind and I loved having the chance to try it.
My first Kundalini yoga – unbelievable; my first ever sound bath with an amazing vibration gong – mind blowing. My first full moon circle! My first yoga Nindra and the list goes on.
I felt the retreat gave me the opportunity to seek out my personal truth, giving me the opportunity to forgive myself and others for fears and mistakes of the past. I felt the retreat cemented my desire for personal happiness and allowed me to step into my future with clarity and confidence.
I believe it was no coincidence that whilst I was at the retreat a work offer came in that surpassed all of my expectations, as I develop my consultancy business. I think the universe really worked to support me, thanks to the retreat.“

“I feel so much more energised and in love with life again, thank you for helping me bring my authentic spark back again!! 
I cannot wait for more of your events and I do hope we can meet again, loved your energy, gorg warmth and fun vibes!! 
It was lovely to meet Lisa, the teachers and other like minded people too 
You were so natural, in flow, confident and warm, because of that, there was such a gorgeous energy in the room and I felt immediately at home. The fact you knew who I was straight away and both you and Lisa greeted me with a hug, I was so grateful and felt so valued.
Thank you for a special day and creating such a warm, homely, authentic and loving space for us all to share.
I really do appreciate What you do and just wanted to pass on my positive feedback to you.”

“What Alice created on the Autumn retreat I attended in November was nothing short of modern alchemy, a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, and combination. Delicious vegan food, meditation sessions and sitting in circle to name just a few of the things on the menu for the weekend. Every aspect of the weekend was well planned and thoughtfully put together. The venue was very luxurious and Alice and her team had set it up to be the perfect zen den with candles, log fires and flowers for our arrival.
After two months I can reflect on some of the things I’ve taken away from the retreat. Here are the most notable ones,
Getting clear on my dreams and taking steps towards them
Letting go of some unhealthy habits and replacing them with loving choices.
Enhancing my home environment to support my meditation practice
Letting go of some limiting beliefs that were holding me back
Huge thanks to the special guest teachers who joined Alice as part of her Be Team,.”
