Along the way, I also discovered the profound healing effects of sound, which led me to train in sound healing therapy. Coupled with my training in counseling, I’ve deepened my understanding of how to support others emotionally and mentally through these practices.
Liv will be bringing her yoga magic to The Elements Retreat this year, she will be holding daily workshops and classes throughout the weekend.

Retreat 'SEE, BE, ME' Workshop with Leah McKeague
The Elements Retreat
As a Master Intuitive Psychology Coach, I guide individuals on a transformative journey to embrace their shadows, reconnect with their inner light, and live in full authenticity.I will be sharing my technique SEE,BE,ME with you at the Elements Retreat this year.
The technique has three steps:
SEE – Participants are guided to visualise a specific moment in their future, exploring what it looks and feels like to embody their goals or dreams.
BE – They bring that vision closer to the present, identifying small, practical actions they can take in the next few days to align with their future self.
ME – They turn inward to recognise the qualities, strengths, and beliefs they already have that support this transformation.
SEE, BE, ME is a guided self-connection technique that helps participants align their present self with their future vision. The process creates a bridge between where they are now and where they want to be, helping them realise they already have everything they need to create their future.
It’s a deeply grounding and empowering exercise, with space for both reflection and action. It works beautifully in a group setting because it combines personal introspection with shared energy, and participants leave feeling aligned, capable, and inspired.
One to One offerings:As an intuitive tarot reader, I will also be offering soul-aligned guidance and insight, creating a sacred space for reflection, clarity, and connection with the messages the universe has for you. Whether you’re seeking direction, healing, or inspiration, my readings are designed to empower and illuminate your path forward.
Hidden Parts Workshop with Fay Burnett & Olly Biggs
The Elements Retreat
How can I be authentically myself whilst being with the other? What happens when we bring play and ease into meeting the unknown?
We will work with somatic movement, play, masks, relational exercises and the voice. The natural landscape of Candleston Woods supports this integration of creative and therapeutic practices to explore hidden 'parts' of who we are, in relation to self and the other. This work is in the interest of showing up in our lives and this world with courage, compassion and authenticity.
Fay is a Cardiff based artist who creates performance and builds community; spaces for co-creation, inner exploration, learning and teaching. Her work is Authentic Movement and somatically informed. She utilises the therapeutic ability of masks to reveal and express our unseen selves in the creation of art. Through these practices, she explores radical and true expression through physical body movement.
Olly is an integrative psychotherapist with a private practice in Bristol. He has co-facilitated MAP, an anti-patriarchal men's group for the past 3 years. He is passionate about building connection and community through the unmasking and sharing of hidden and repressed parts of self.
Walking Prayer with Alastair Cuthbert
The Elements Retreat
Some years ago I owned and ran a small tech business, employing a dozen people, outwardly successful and undoubtedly ‘winning’ by the usual societal measures.
Yet on the inside my very soul was dying, I was physically broken, spiritually bereft and a stranger to myself. In truth I couldn’t see how I or any of it mattered enough to live for.
So began my journey to happiness, health and wealth. Along the way I caught a glimpse of what it is to be fully human. How does one live a soulful life? What does it mean to walk the path of spiritual development, expansion of consciousness? To become happy, peaceful and fulfilled? Instinctively you know what I am pointing at, even if you can’t fully articulate what it means to you yet.
It is my deep wish that in the telling of my journey from depression, addiction, loneliness and hopelessness to wholeness, happiness, fulfilment and freedom Some part of my story will illuminate some small step for you on your journey, as you write the story of your life As you learn to make your life A walking prayer

Jorhe Harris
The Elements Retreat
Who Wants a Wearable, Custom-Made Piece of Nature-Inspired Art?
It all started with a simple gift. Last year, Jorhe transformed one of his mum’s old cotton shirts, hand-painting a stunning bleached butterfly for her birthday and giving new life to a forgotten piece of clothing. She loved it so much that for Mother’s Day, he reworked a vintage Superdry jacket, this time creating a delicate wildflower design.
What Jorhe didn’t expect was the response—people who saw his work wanted a custom piece of their own.
Now, Jorhe is bringing his unique bleach-painted denim to Elements Festival, creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind designs live throughout the event.
Want to Give Your Clothes a New Story?
Bring along a denim piece you’d like reworked, chat with Jorhe about your vision, and let him transform it into something truly special. Due to time restrictions and the nature of the craftsmanship, some custom designs will be created after the festival, but all your orders will be carefully made and returned to you.
Find him beneath the trees and watch the magic happen!

Capoeira with Luke
The Elements Retreat
Luke graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (WIOC) in 2015 and started an
innovative rehabilitation and healthcare company called Back to Roots (B2R) in 2016.
Frustrated by the Chiropractic professions traditional model of care Luke teamed up with
Paul McCambridge to create a company that marries up ‘evidence based practice’ and
holistic healthcare in a person centred way, greatly inspired by Play. In 2017 Luke and Paul
started guest lecturing at the University of South Wales (USW), WIOC, and over the passing
years have had greater impact at the University with B2R methods with Paul now being
course leader and Luke lecturing weekly across all 4 years of the course. Luke built and
teaches a Biopsychosocial pain module on the Physiotherapy programme at USW also. Luke
has mentored clinicians the world over via the ‘ B2R Internship’. Here we brought leaders of
the field of movement, fitness, rehab and evidence based practice into one community
inclusive of Coaches, Physical Education Teachers, Dancers, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors,
Occupational therapists, Exercise Physiologists, Strength Coaches and Students of all fields
together to experience thoughtless, fearless, relaxed movement; and to prescribe it; and
how to sell it.
Luke, Paul and the B2R team have been running CPD events around the world for the past 5
years, receiving British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) and Exercise and Sports Science
Australia (ESSA) accreditation. B2R created “Pain Clinic”, A 12 week self management
programme delivered via the Results Wellness Lifestyle app which is also undergoing trials
for approval to be accessible on the National Health Service (NHS) here in the UK.
Luke has also completed a Sports and Exercise Science Degree and has a vast interest in
exercise from Rugby, to Weightlifting, to Gymnastics, to Dance, to Boxing, to Capoeira, to
Strongman, just to name a few.
After having a daughter in 2022, Luke moved into a specialised study in the Afro-brazilian
martial art of Capoeira under Mestre Claudio Campos, in what Luke describes as the closest
thing to a ‘one stop shop’ of a practice that harnesses all that mentioned above; musicality,
flexibility, fighting, dancing, acrobatics, performing, singing, community, strength and
conditioning, flow……play.
Luke Published his first book in 2022 entitled “Stress, The Good and the Bad for Aches” and
Pains, a story-telling aid for clinicians in prescribing active care and guideline based practice.
In this workshop, Luke will be sharing an introduction to the magic that is Capoeira.
InnerDance with Carri-Anne and Kathryn
The Elements Retreat
InnerDance is not about following a set of steps or a choreographed routine. Instead, it’s an internal dance, an exploration of the body and mind, a dynamic flow of energy, insight, and heightened awareness. You may find you lie still for the entire experience.
Your experience begins by lying down in a relaxed position, closing your eyes, and immersing yourself in a carefully crafted soundscape. This sound journey will guide you into a meditative state, helping you reconnect with your true self.
As you surrender to the waves and frequencies, you’ll enter a state of deep relaxation. Your body may move spontaneously, or you may find yourself drifting into a dreamlike state, where your inner wisdom leads you on a path of healing, self-empowerment, and the reclamation of your inner strength.
Throughout the session, Carri-Anne and Kathryn will offer intuitive energy healing assisting you in clearing energetic blockages, releasing stuck emotions, and fostering a deeper connection with your inner self.
As the session comes to a close, you will be gently brought back to the present moment, likely feeling a renewed connection to your physical body and an expanded sense of awareness.
Please bring something to lie/sit on for the session yoga mat/towel/picnic blanket & also a blanket/something to be covered with, cushion optional & water.
From Burnout to Aliveness: ancient, ancestral technologies to balance the modern ones and keep us rooted, connected, human, and alive
with Kate
The Elements Retreat
What if burnout isn’t a personal failing or even something you can recover from through enough “self-care” and “work-life balance”?
What if burnout isn’t the problem, but rather the symptom - a soul-deep exhaustion from fighting to stay connected and caring in the face of dehumanizing forces?
Which means burnout recovery isn’t supposed to prepare us to go back to what was.
What if, instead, burnout is an invitation to a quiet revolution in your relationship with yourself, other humans, your ancestors, the natural world, and your connection to Spirit?
What if it’s the beginning of a journey to change the empire-driven, world-burning trajectory we humans seem to be on to one of more belonging, more sacred reciprocity and responsible stewardship, and more Aliveness?
Join Kate for a part-talk, part experiential exploration and re-imagining of ancestral ceremony; part storytelling session. Exploring: in an exhausting world, how do you reclaim your vibrant heart?
Hi! I’m Kate - an old soul and highly sensitive empath who spent years burning out by trying to numb my sensitivity and tame myself to fit in… which ultimately gave me tons of practice finding my way back to aliveness. Now I guide burned out pilgrims and seekers, witches and intuitives, compassion-junkies and quiet-but-fierce revolutionaries; who believe healing their overwhelm, disconnect, and exhaustion is how they’ll build a more loving and magic-infused world; and who know or suspect there’s wisdom in the animist cultural embers of a more indigenous Mother Europe which might help us be more alive today. Together, we journey into their shadows and the shadows of modern culture in order to de-armor their hearts; remember a deeper, wilder sense of belonging to the world; and reclaim the rich and sacred spark of their aliveness.
Bridges with Carla Barbosa-Harvey
The Elements Retreat
Bridges is a work that has been birthed from my personal work to make myself a conduit to achieve forgiveness of my shadow ancestry. It speaks of the other side of the ancestral bond. We know widly the search for ancestral connection and Reclaiming the gifts we carry. This work is to the ones who already made themselves a living offering to the earth and are ready to seek to be a conduit to process the darkness left as legacy from their ancestors transmuting it into light.
Many years ago, I received this message of how we are bridges between worlds. The mixing of blood, stories, and cultures allowed by the technological growth we achieved in the decades past has been intended by the spirits to facilitate this embodiment and equalization of us all as the human species. Just as we hold the gift of our ancestry, we hold the stamp as offering to mend and correct their undoings. This allows us to open a practice of empowerment, forgiveness, generational healing, and, most importantly, reconnection to the mother.
Oneness with Laura J Barker
The Elements Retreat
At this retreat, I would like to offer an extension of me… a workshop and transmission. A weaving of energy, essence, and divine remembrance that invites each soul to awaken their connection to the miracle frequency.
Through guided practices, heart-led connection, and quantum recalibration, we’ll dissolve the veil of limitation and activate the codes of infinite creation that live within us.
This isn’t just about learning, it’s about remembering. Remembering your vastness. Your magic. Your place in the great symphony of light.
Oneness.
We’ll explore how the miracle frequency is not just a concept but a living current, one that moves through the cells, stirs the soul, and even speaks through biology. Just as ATP carries light and energy within the body, the spark of life within every cell, so we too remember we are conscious vessels of light creation, moving in harmony with source energy.
In our time together, I’ll hold space for your expansion while anchoring in the collective field of possibility. Together, we’ll amplify the light, co-create from pure source energy, and leave transformed and connected. Not just as individuals, but as a unified field of awakened creators. This is the frequency of miracles.
My presence is both grounding and expansive, an invitation for each participant to meet their true self in sacred stillness and bold becoming.
