New Moon Summer Retreat, Glastonbury: Saturday 6th April, 2024

View from the Gables Studio
A beautiful, safe and held space. This enabled me to go to a deep place to explore and hear exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you so much. Awesome.

Join us for a relaxing day in the beautiful space of The Gables Studio overlooking Somerset countryside where you will have the space to relax, reflect and re-align with your natural energy and creative flow.

Tune into the wonder of the New Moon, renew your energy, open your heart and release any blocks that are holding you back. Re-align and cleanse yourself of outdated habits, whilst also setting some clear intentions for the way ahead.

Limited spaces to ensure maximum comfort and space for all.

Combined with the New Moon and the seasonal energies, this is a time of renewal, healing and heart-opening.

It is a time to tune into nature and Mother Earth for the birthing of new intentions as well as to enjoy a release and cleansing of that which no longer serves your highest good.

 A wonderful experience, magical! I feel I can now move forward with and in Harmony, thank you.

Our day together will include:

Tune into the wonder of Summer and who you are! Renew your energy, cleanse yourself of outdated habits and open your heart.

Testimonials:

Alex has a warm and grounding presence that made me feel I was right where I needed to be, in safe and considerate hands.  I instantly began to relax and unwind. Her facilitation of the group felt secure, skilful, beautifully natural and full of heart. What a combo! In that glorious container I found myself letting go more and more across the day, and not having to worry about a thing. The storytelling in the afternoon was an unexpectedly nourishing experience, and the gong bath took me to an expanded yet integrated and balanced place I truly did not see coming. I was genuinely blown away, and got much more from the retreat than I was expecting to.
I attended theAutumn Equinox retreat in Glastonbury and I cannot recommend the experiencehighly enough. Alexandra creates such a beautiful and peaceful space whereeveryone is warmly welcomed and nourished. We were a group of 9 who met asstrangers but parted as friends thanks to the lovely container of space thatAlexandra created. There was time for reflection, yoga, shared lunch and deeplyrelaxing story-telling and gong bath all in the glorious Glastonburycountryside. This type of experience is such a wholesome gift to give yourselfat significant turning points in the year. I can't wait for the next one!
Alexandra is a highly experienced, sensitive and intuitive practitioner. We had never experienced a gong bath before and this was an amazing day. We came away feeling completely relaxed and “in tune”. It is extremely healing and beautiful and we would recommend it to anyone, for any reason.
Simply wonderful. The feeling in the room was open minded, calm and beautiful. I loved your storytelling! I loved watching the characters you create and the meaning to the stories. To end with a gong bath was perfect. I always love your gong baths and never have the same experience twice. This leaves me a blank canvas every time to let my mind create it's own journey. Most importantly, you are simply wonderful at what you do. To be with someone who is completely real, open and so so gifted at what they do is such a blessing. Thank you.
