Retreat Ovierview
Retreats with Spirit host three different types of retreats at Sunny Brow Farm.
​
Our Spirit Medicine Retreats offer you opportunity to explore your own authentic spirituality & experience a wide range of sacred practices. The sessions & treatments create stepping stones into presence, supporting you to release blocks, beliefs and emotions that are preventing you from connecting with your authentic self. This retreat offers you a space for ‘sacred pause’ and a chance to cultivate loving awareness as you come into presence.
We run these retreats at both midweek (4 nights) and weekends (3 nights) in May and September.
​
We also offer a set of spaces for women called Spirit Woman. Our Spirit Woman 'Retreats' are 3 days weekend in either June or November, and 3 or 4 days in March. They are facilitated through cacao ceremony, ritual, and yoga to nourish and support you. These are also suitable for anyone new to yoga, or to spirituality and cacao. Our Spirit Women 'Initiations' are 4 days long in either June or November. They are powerful ceremonial spaces created for women to offer a deep dive into Self and Spirituality. We recommend that you have previous experience of retreat, ceremony, and/or deeper spiritual self-exploration before booking one of these.
​
Our Spirit Earth Lodges include learning spaces as well as ceremonial ones. They are rooted in Earthy spiritual practice and the Medicine Wheel. These are powerful, deeply healing retreats as the whole week allows us to keep opening and unfolding into more of who we are. There is a sweat lodge ceremony at the heart of the retreat midweek in Autumn.
Our Spirit Earth Winter Lodge retreats are in January and the lodge experience is created through ceremony and ritual. These retreats allow you to take the next step into your Earth Spirit Practice.
​
SPIRIT MEDICINE
Join us and step in to a space for healing, connection & self reflection. Our Spirit Medicine Retreats offer you opportunity to explore your own authentic spirituality & experience a wide range of sacred practices. The sessions & treatments create stepping stones into presence, supporting you to release blocks, beliefs and emotions that are preventing you from connecting with your authentic self.
This retreat offers you a space for ‘sacred pause’ and a chance to cultivate loving awareness as you come into presence. ​At the core of this retreat is the wisdom of embodied awareness and the knowing that the path of being present with our internal experience brings us the insights, creativity and peace to be who we are born to be.
​
When we come to presence, we naturally experience increased awareness of our thoughts, feelings and emotions. Here at Sunny Brow, we offer you space to honour and welcome all that you feel. Allowing deeper awareness of the whole of you, brings a special form of empowerment and peace. As we step into acceptance of both the pain and the beauty of us, we can embody an authentic way of navigating our lives, and our humanness.
​​
SPIRIT WOMAN
Calling all wise women, wild women, healers, Earth spirit dreamers & women who dance with the moon. Come join us for ceremonies, journeying, moving beyond your wounding, embracing your body, freeing your voice and sitting in sacred sisterhood. Spirit Woman retreats and initiations offer you a space to hear your Self and to realign with your essence. Birthed with deep awareness of Gaia, woven from myth, and steeped in magic, these retreats offer you a powerful way to come home to all that you are.
​
So often, women have received the message that the unique journey of womanhood is best hidden. Together we will celebrate all that makes us whole and honour our femininity as a sacred gift and bring the magic of our experience to the light.
​
The 4 day initiations include one-to-one sessions, ceremonies to honour and empower, ritual to recognise the mysteries of the feminine, connection with the Earth, deeply nourishing yoga, time in circle, and a little creativity. Each one is different and follows the energy of the time of year and what is rising through the collective. June dates include a sweat lodge ceremony .
​
The 3 day retreats include plentiful, yoga, cacao ceremonies, shared circle time, ritual massage and meditation. They are lighter than the initiations but will also take you on a soulful journey to your find and be within your fullest potential. They are positioned just before the initiations in case anyone feels called to do them both together. They make a lovely pair of incredible transformative spaces for a whole week experience.
​
SPIRIT EARTH LODGE
Inspired by the teachings of the natural world, our Spirit Earth Retreat offers you a way to embrace the Earth’s cycles and the wheel of the year. A chance to journey in community to honour the Earth and your body. A time in circle with Spirit, our Earth relatives, the ancestors, and your guides and guardians to support you to be free. Using ritual to welcome crossroads and gateways: tending to the body through yoga and movement practices, so that you can reawaken that which has been forgotten or even repressed. At the heart of the retreat, is the intention to enchant our lives and to heal rifts within our spiritual selves.
Suzy-Anne and Natalie draw on their Earth-rooted spiritual practices to co-create dynamic spaces where we can all explore what it means to be incarnate on the Earth here and now. Expect ritual, sacred ceremony, cacao, breathwork, transpersonal & yin yoga, movement, connection practices in nature, drumming & sound, healing herbal teas & elixirs, crystal healing, journeying & ritual massage.
This retreat is for you if you are interested in exploring and experiencing new ways of becoming present through your connection with the natural world or if you are curious about developing your spirituality through the mysteries of creation. Our practices will include spaces for you to develop and deepen your relationship with your guides & guiding energies. At the heart of these retreats, is the process of our embodiment – so expect deep healing and emotional release.
Our beautiful January retreat sits in-between Epiphany and Imbolc, two very significant times of year. The energy of the light returning and the spark of life in nature are significant for the retreat. A perfect time to come into quiet space within in conscious community, to seed new intentions and allow the time of year to support your own awakening.
The Autumn retreat sits near the Equinox within the cycle of Harvest Moon an abundant time of year to be with the gifts of Mother Earth and gather your own harvests. Equinox marks the point where light & darkness are in close balance which opens a gateway into closer relationship with peace. This time of year brings a grounding energy after the vibrancy of summer to allow you to a come home to yourself and to the sacredness of the Earth.
Midweek - A Gaia sweat lodge is included in our midweek Autumn retreat. This is a powerful embodied spiritual practice for rebirth. Please message for further details if you wish.
