Somatic Yoga with Holly Sutcliffe

Join teacher and somatic therapist Holly Sutcliffe for 75 minutes embodied exploration of the body-mind. This monthly class is for those who want greater access to and awareness of their own body. It is not a work-out. You are unlikely to sweat. But there is great potential for things to shift in your body. Movement is mostly likely to be soft and gentle, with curiosity and consent embedded into cues. Book here

A Day in Clay - Make Your Own Altar | Day Retreat at Walmer Castle

Due to popular demand, A Day in Clay: Make Your Own Altar is returning to the stunning historic setting of Walmer Castle, Deal, Kent, on Saturday 25th July. This special day retreat is hosted by Ramsgate Pottery and is an invitation to slow down, get creative, and reconnect with yourself through the grounding practice of working with clay. Guided throughout the day, you'll design and create your own unique altar - a deeply personal piece to hold intention, ritual, or meaning. Your teachers Gillian Farrell and Vivienne Yankah are talented ceramicists and experienced facilitators who will support you every step of the way, whether you're completely new to clay or you already love working with it. Food Nourishment will be lovingly prepared by retreat chef Eleanor Yankah, who has studied at the College of Naturopathic Medicine. Expect vibrant, seasonal dishes, pressed juices, healthy snacks and home baked treats thoughtfully created to energise and sustain you throughout the day. The setting Walmer Castle is a Tudor fortress on the Kent coast with beautiful walled gardens and sweeping grounds. Your place includes full access to roam throughout the day - perfect for a wander between sessions or a relaxed alfresco lunch in the gardens.
