About the event
Join me this November for three cosy nights in the Welsh Countryside. From Thursday the 12th through to Sunday the 15th, we will take time to slow down, connect to our practice of yoga, connect to the elemental nature around us, and to the community we are practising in.
Your Invitation
Winter is a season that quietly invites us inward. In nature, everything slows. Energy is conserved. Growth happens beneath the surface. Yet modern life rarely allows us to follow this rhythm. This retreat is an invitation to pause.
Over three nights, we will step away from the pace of everyday life and enter a slower rhythm shaped by yoga, nourishing food and time in nature.
Morning practices will gently awaken the body. Evenings will soften into restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra. In between, there will be space to rest, walk the land, sit by the fire or enjoy the sauna and hot tub overlooking the valley.
A few quiet days to reconnect with yourself.

FAQ
How do I get there?
The address of the venue is Wern-y-Cwm Farm, Llandewi Skirrid, Abergavenny NP7 8AW. Wern-y-Cwm Farm is nestled in the countryside just outside Abergavenny, so the final part of the journey requires either a car or a taxi. Below are the best travel options:
For those driving:
Approx. 2 hours from Oxford. Typically via the M4 and A449, then local roads to Abergavenny.
Train travel:
Train + Taxi
Train to Abergavenny railway station (3-4.5h from Oxford)
Taxi to the farm (approx. 10–15 minutes) (Taxis are limited at the station, so pre-booking is strongly recommended)
If you are looking to car share (driving or as a passenger), please let me know, and we can look at car shares between those attending.
When should I arrive and leave?

What do I need to bring?

Will the retreat cater for different dietary requirements?
Yes, I am a celiac, and I really care about making sure there is food available for any dietary requirements. Please do let us know ahead of time any dietary requirements so we can plan for this.
