Heroine’s Path May Retreat
16th - 18th May
Devon
THIS YEAR’S WEEKEND RETREAT IS SET AT THE OPENING TO SUMMER. ..
Amidst the ecstasy of the blossom, and the sun’s growing light.
May is where we recommit in devotion to ourselves, which in turn is a devotion to life, to community, to new growth and to this valuable world on which we stand.
We thread between
Environmental Arts Therapy, Somatics, Breathflow, Dreaming and Community Ritual.
There will be song, rest, silliness, and connection with others. There will be trees, the great forest, grief and love.
The weekend is contained in a group of 9 participants only, and 3 practitioners, to ensure everyone is heard, seen and held.
This is deep transformative work in a potently held space.
Join us to make a Sustainable change collectively,
and individually in this wild and beautiful life.
DAY VENUE : Saturday and Sunday
During the days we will welcome you into the stunning and wild space of The Deer Wood; a wild forest with a beautiful roundhouse ideal for falling into the full nourishment of the practices.
ADDRESS : The Deer Wood Trust, Devon TQS
Accommodation Friday and Saturday night
for Friday & Saturday night is at Bigbury Camping Barn TQ7 4AR
This is dormitory style accommodation where we will live, sleep and eat alongside one another. It is not luxurious, but communal, supportive and real.
There also happens to be a hot tub overlooking the sea.

Practitioners
The Heroine’s Path is run by three practitioners. A circle of women, holding a circle of women.

Laura
Laura has been a registered Art Psychotherapist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) since completing her MA at Goldsmiths University in 2007.
In co-founding The Heroines Path 7 years ago, she found herself taking her practice increasingly outside.
This path led her to make a life changing move to South Devon and retrain as an Environmental Arts Therapist in 2021.
Laura has been honoured to be able to learn directly from the pioneers of this movement, Ian and Marianne Siddons-Heginworth since moving and was a part of their first Circle of Trees group.
She runs her own Circle of Trees group in South Devon, with their blessing.

She has travelled extensively and sought out many ways to transform her pain into her power. From a shy, scared girl with no confidence into a woman deeply connected to the cycles of existence, her voice and her womb space, she now leads women into finding their way home.
Home to the power that lies within. Home to their bodies and home to each other. Jade works 1-1 with massage, energy clearing and sound and also womb connection ceremonies as well as leading group immersions and circles for women.

BRING A FRIEND/KIN
In our experience, the work we do has far flowing ripples and part of its magic is being witnessed by one another. This is how we rewrite the isolated feeling of our times
If it is calling to you feel free to pass this on to any women you feel might be interested. This is a powerful process of belonging to move through with your trusted loved ones, colleagues and kin. Who would you bring?
How to join
Spaces are limited to join. If you would like to be apart of this group please fill in the form to request a space.
Feel free to ask any questions on your message.
“I felt nurtured and supported throughout, this helped me to open to the practices and go with whatever arose.”
”I feel so blessed and privileged to have found my tribe in you three amazing ladies and indeed all the beautiful souls who were there for our gathering to welcome in Beltane. Some strong connections and bonds were forged between us as a group that cannot be broken by distance.”
Is it for me?
We hold women who hold others.
We give you space to breathe, integrate, be , Feel.
A safe container.
Come if you need holding, come if you yearn for belonging, a voice, some joy, some peace and some release….
Come if you need to rewrite culture for yourself, your community, the world. Come if you yearn for slow sustained healthy change.
Transformation can be held in the softest containers because it is there that we feel safest to thrive.
“Thank you so much for a wonderfully special, magical and nourishing 3 days. Thank you for creating a space which shone with love and kindness where I felt so safe and held and a space where I could be me! I will carry this time in my heart”
“I just wanted to share how much I enjoyed the Heroine's path retreat. I loved the way the practices wove together. I have continued to feel grounded and more connected this week, to my true self and the natural world”
Do you crave more courage?
Do you need to find your Inner Fire?
Do you need more balance for the Fire you have?
Do you find it hard to act on your needs?
Do you yearn for deeper connection to your heart?
Are you looking for a way to tangibly connect to the natural world?
Are you longing for belonging with the land, the planet, the stars, with community?
Do you sense restrictions deep down within you that feel like they are holding you back?
Do you yearn for practices to uplift?
Do you wish to work with the cycles of healthy maturing so that you can step forward into a deeper more profound experience of every cycle of womanhood?
“So what is the point of this reclamation and focus, this calling back of what has been lost, this running with the wolves?
It is to go for the jugular, to get right down to the seed and bones of everything in your life, because that’s where your pleasure is, that’s where a woman’s Eden lies, that place where there is time and freedom to be, wander, wonder, write, sing, create and not be afraid.”
