Walking into peace afternoon retreat

Join us for a deeply nourishing afternoon retreat designed to guide you back to the sanctuary within. ‘Walking into Peace’ is a gentle yet powerful journey that weaves together sound healing, voice activation, somatic gentle movement, and guided meditation.

Held by Saira and Siobhan, two dear friends and soul sisters who are joining together to bring you this immersive experience. We invite you to soften, release, and reconnect with your inner wisdom through the resonant tones of shamanic drum, gong, crystal bowls, the voice and sacred instruments. You’ll be guided through embodied practices that help regulate the nervous system, open the voice, and awaken the heart’s natural healing energies.

This retreat is an opportunity to:
– Rest deeply and reset your energy
– Reconnect with your intuitive voice
– Experience the healing power of sound
– Cultivate inner safety, spaciousness, and emotional clarity
– Gently walk into the peace of your own heart and find your way home

No previous yoga experience is needed—just an open mind, a willingness to receive, and a desire to return to yourself.

Let this be your invitation to pause, breathe, and remember who you are.

Siobhan is a deeply passionate, heart led soul who’s intention is to work for the highest good of all.

A journey back to the sacred garden of our hearts… to find our true, unique essence.

My experience at Saira's retreat was amazing. I've been on several of Saira's retreats and they are all wonderful, so thoughtfully planned, down to the smallest details, to make sure that everyone feels so welcome and cared for. I would highly recommend Saira's retreats and hope to go on many more! Thank you Saira xx

My experience on Saira's retreat was truly extraordinary. I came all the way from the US for this unique experience. Saira is a gifted facilitator and healer, and through her kind, wise and humble nature, she created safe space for a group of strangers to find connection with one another and within themselves. Great care was taken to ensure that everyone's dietary, energetic and emotional needs were honored and I felt very cared for throughout the experience. I am so grateful I made the journey!

I have just returned from a retreat run by Saira and feel like I have been restored and replenished! Everything was well planned and organised with amazing food and facilities. If you are feeling undecided about attending a retreat alone I can reassure you that you will be made to feel welcome and looked after whilst you are there. Everyone is important in Saira's eyes and she has time and space for everyone who needs her attention. She's very caring and knowledgeable in all the activities she offers so you feel safe and nurtured. You'll not be disappointed.

Saira is the real deal - her retreats are profound, intelligent, passionate and safe. I have been on two so far and hope to join many more!
