Retreat Within
Wed 4th Dec 2024
6pm-8.30pm
at The Croft Farm Escape
A night of calm
This is the perfect evening if you are looking to escape the craziness of the festive season and to drop into a space of 'BEING'. Winter is spiritually the season of hibernation, turning inwards, nurturing ourselves and reflection.
Based in the Forest Studio Cabin at Croft Farm you are held for the evening as we align to the energies of the upcoming winter solstice. An opportunity to slow down and make space for self-care.
Surrounded by candlelight and combining gentle yoga flow, yin, meditation and sound we will retreat within and return to the state of being!
We will close by sitting underneath the stars, wrapped up warm in a tranquil setting, enjoying herbal tea and a tasty treat surrounded by like minded souls.
Taking time to move into stillness, we will return to our outer reality, refreshed and renewed for the upcoming festivities and new year.
Spring to Summer Wanderings Day Retreat
May is my favourite month of the year, I love the abundance of nature and I have
noticed a lot of transformations come to fruition around this time.
The focus of this retreat is on traversing spring to summer, through a wandering and exploration of the body, mind & spirit. With a particular focus on the heart, we will be working on moving deeper into unconditional love and self love. With this in mind I have created a day that is a balance of nourishing, reflective, healing, relaxing and invigorating.
As always this day will be adapted to the energies who decide to join me. There will always be a bit of magic and mystery as we explore parts of ourselves we may have forgotten or lost for a while.
But ultimately this day is yours and I invite you to take part in as much or as little of the itinerary as you wish. The beauty is the day will be held in the gorgeous Croft Farm Escape where we will have the entire barn to ourselves. You are welcome to relax and chill downstairs in the lounge, drink herbal tea and enjoy healthy treats in the kitchen or find peace in nature exploring the beautiful landscape if you feel you want some downtime.
Booking is via my website. Select “Bookings” tab. Once booked I will send you an email with details about payment. For anyone that needs a payment plan (instalments) this option is available, please message me directly.
Indian Summer Retreat
I am delighted to announce that I will be running a two night retreat celebrating the closing of summer as we move towards the season of autumn.
This retreat will focus on deeply connecting inwards, reflecting on the lessons that came from the season of rebirth (spring) and the season of life/growth (summer). We will start to connect to the energies of fall as we shift through what no longer serves us and let go of what holds us back from our highest good!
Expect a weekend mixed with liked minded people, lots of delicious vegan food, juicy yoga, yogic philosophy, meditation, shamanic drumming, cacao, sound healing, ice baths/sauna and most importantly YOU TIME!! As you all know I encourage you to listen to your inner guru and my voice is simply a guide ✨
You can take part in it all or have as much chillout time as you need as you enjoy the beautiful countryside that surrounds us at Croft Farm or enjoy a good book in one of the many chillout zones.
All you need is an open heart to join this retreat! It's going to be magical ✨✨✨✨✨
Rooms are shared double or twin beds. There is an option to have an extra bed for three people. If you like to style it solo there are a limited number of gorgeous studios which will incur a supplement on the current price (subject to availability and POA).
Cacao & Rose Yoga Ceremony
An afternoon of heart centred yoga and healing!
Plant medicine has been used for thousands of years for healing the body and spirit. For many native tribes plant medicine is a very much a way of life for healing and supporting the body, mind and spirit.
Mother Cacao has been used in ceremonies of many American ancient tribes long before we learned how to make chocolate out of it. Its great source of health benefits has been proved by many cacao takers to nourish our physical and energetic bodies. As well as being jam packed with antioxidants, spiritually it holds you in a safe space to allow for gentle opening of the heart and moving stuck energy which is ready to gently be released. It's a true hug in a mug. We will also be working with the beautiful plant medicine of rose. Rose medicine helps to move us into a space of unconditional love for ourselves and all beings. But it also teaches us how to do so with discernment, firm boundaries and protection.
We will begin the afternoon with a gentle heart opening yoga practice followed by a beautiful and nourishing Cacao & Rose plant based drink. Here you will have time to set intentions, draw oracle cards and bask in its medicinal healing energies whilst being gently soothed by sound healing. We will finish with a guided restorative/yin practice to allow you to deeply relax, connect and be held by cacao & rose as the sun begins to set!
It will be a truly magical and healing afternoon.

Arm Balance & Inversion Workshop
This workshop is for the yogi who is looking to advance their practice to the next level, immerse yourself in a 2 hr fun and empowering workshop where we will give you the tools and guidance to begin or progress your arm balances.
Starting with vinyasa flow to warm up the body we will hold preparatory poses to strengthen our bandhas (internal locks), energise the arms and focus the mind. We will move onto arm balances such as bakasana (crow), parsva bakasana (side crow) and tittibhasana (firefly pose). Followed by inversions such as headstands and handstand.
You will have the time to explore and work towards your fullest expression of these asanas in a safe, supportive and fun environment. We will finish with yoga nidra to still the mind and induce an inner state of peace to end our practice.
Come and see the world from another angle!
Cocao Ceremony & Yoga with Aisling & Nicola <3
This Winter brings us a truly magical portal for awakening, one that will not happen again until 2023.
On Saturday 4th December the skies align in a Total Solar Eclipse and New Moon in fiery Sagittarius.
As one, we will step into this portal.
The frequency of the Total Solar Eclipse amplifies this portal's energies, gifting us a beautiful opportunity for heart healing and restoring balance to our souls, as always when we join together as one our intentions are strengthened. So, with this Total Solar Eclipse our intentions will be even more powerful! The New Moon at a Total Solar Eclipse has a depth and darkness to her that invites us to honour the death of the old whilst simply Be-ing in the space of the void.
In this space of the New Moon, Aisling and Nicola are co-creating an afternoon filled with the highest intentions and love for your healing, guided by the gentle yet transformational heart opening medicine of Mother Cacao and Rose. Cacao medicine allows us to connect together in harmony and connect to our expanded consciousness, our highest selves.
Raising our energy together in a Yoga Flow from Aisling, we will then fill our cups with Ecuadorian warmed Cacao blended with Rose and allow the beauty of sound healing and medicine songs to lift and expand us all. Twinkling candlelit Yin Yoga with Nicola will ground the energies as we draw towards the ceremony close.
Join us at Indee Yoga for Hemel Hempstead's first Cacao Ceremony, warming us in the Winter as we gather in uplifting movement and sound.
