I have been involved with martialarts for nearly 40 years. I hold a black belt in Judo, studying and teaching Tai Chiwith the Tai Chi, Qigong Feng Shui Institute. Tai Chi Qigong is also a martial art that has been in existence for thousands of years.
This style incorporates a series of 18 gentle flowing movements that flow gracefully from one move to another and can improve both physical and mental balance, increase strength, flexibility
and coordination and opens a path to our spirit and our subconscious. Qigong keeps you in the present and clears away the clouds of your thoughts.
It's fun too.
As a bespoke offering for The Elements Retreat I will be offering a Walk, Talk andTai Chi experience. This is where we walk through Nature practicing mindfulness and the techniques to keep you in the present moment
Then in a place of tranquility we will practice Tai Chi Qigong.- Qi meaning energyand Gong meaning cultivation.

Retreat 'SEE, BE, ME' Workshop with Leah McKeague
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 theycan 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.

Walking Prayer with Alastair Cuthbert
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

Hidden Parts Workshop with Fay Burnett & Ollie Biggs
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.

Theta Healing with Hayley Reid
Theta Healing involves entering a theta brainwave state, which is a deeply relaxed state similar to deep meditation/hypnosis. In this state, clients access their subconscious mind to identify and change limiting beliefs and negative patterns. This allows for healing on multiple levels, including physical ailments, emotional trauma, and spiritual growth.
During the one to one session you will sit in a relaxed position with your eyes closed. This allows you to go into a theta brainwave - a very relaxed and meditative state. This facilitates the work through the subconscious mind where our core beliefs and feelings are held.
Benefits:
-
Physical Healing: It can aid in physical healing by addressing underlying emotional or psychological causes of illness.
-
Emotional Wellbeing: It can help release negative emotions, trauma, and fears, promoting emotional balance and resilience.
-
Spiritual Growth: Practitioners often describe experiencing a deeper connection to spirituality and a greater understanding of their life’s purpose.
-
Self-Improvement: ThetaHealing techniques are sometimes used for personal development, helping individuals achieve goals and improve relationships by changing subconscious beliefs.
