Echoes & Embers
A Winter Retreat
Friday 14th - Monday 17th November 2025, Anglesey
Step into the Stillness of Winter
Do you feel called to gather around the hearth, a warming brew in hand, unwind, and reconnect with the wisdom of the winter season?
Join us for a transformative, sacred retreat where we will gather by the hearth, surrounded by nature, to honour the teachings of the past and prepare for the winter season. In this peaceful haven, there will be no rush – only invitations to reconnect with your roots, the land, and the guidance of your ancestors, as we match our heartbeat with the rhythm of nature.
Nestled in the peaceful village of Talwrn on the Isle of Anglesey, Hen Hafod is a beautifully renovated oak-framed conversion, surrounded by serene countryside. With a rich history dating back to the 13th century, it sits above a site of special scientific interest, providing a tranquil setting for our retreat.
Arrivals from 6pm on Friday, 14th November, with departure by 9am on Monday, 17th November. Sunday evening from 4pm will be dedicated free time, allowing you to settle and integrate your experience. An evening meal will be provided, but if you need to depart earlier, you are welcome to do so.

Here, we will honor those who have come before us, seeking insights and messages to guide our personal journey. What ancestral echoes will you hear? What ember will you find to carry you through the winter months, lighting the way through the darkness?
A Time for Deep Inner Work and Healing

It is a time to realign with your roots, reset your intentions, and embrace the quiet strength that the winter months bring. May the warmth of the hearth and the wisdom of the ancestors leave you with the strength, guidance, and light to carry through the long winter days.

This is not just a retreat; it is a sacred opportunity to reset, realign, and return to your roots. Will you answer the call of the ancestors?
Meet your Guides: Awen & Laura
Awen and Laura met many moons ago over a shared love of the wondrous and magical world in which we live. Kindred spirits from the start, they were drawn together by their reverence for nature, their passion for the sacred cycles of life, and their deep belief in the power of gathering in intentional, heart-led ways.
Both bring many years of experience in holding nourishing, transformative spaces – spaces where people are invited to slow down, reconnect with themselves and the Earth, and listen to the quiet wisdom that often goes unheard in everyday life.
Rooted in ritual, myth, and the turning of the seasons, their work is guided by intuition, compassion, and a fierce commitment to creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, seen, and supported.
Together, Awen and Laura weave a gentle, grounded container for rest, remembrance, and renewal.
