Summer Solstice (June 20 - 22)
The Solstice marks a threshold - an opening to light - a potent moment of peak energy.
Over three days, we gather in ceremony, journey through sound and fire, move across the Hills, sleep under the stars and align with the rhythms of the Earth.
Discover transformative, life-changing experiences, guided by the wisdom of the natural world.
Facilitated by experienced Shamanic Counsellor Sally Parker and creative practitioner Ell Rodgers.
Step through the portal of the Solstice to let go of what no longer serves you and emerge into your ideal version of reality.

Venue
The Lakes
3 lakes on 8 acres - A secret location in the Shropshire Hills - The Lakes is a private eco-retreat space, surrounded by water, rolling hills and ancient monuments. It’s a hidden sanctuary for creative and ceremonial work - raw, elemental, and held by Nature in every direction. At its centre lies a candlelit dome, used for gathering, ritual, rest. The land is not just the setting - Nature becomes the guide, shaping and deepening the transformative experiences that unfold within the space.
This is not a polished retreat centre - it’s a natural space - it’s a place to remember your animal body, to listen, to walk barefoot, and to return to something older than words. Many who visit speak of the land here as alive, as if it holds a presence of its own. We treat it as such.
