What is Freedom Dancing?
Freedom Dance is moving the body with no particular structure, it is a way to get fully in touch with your feelings without judgment, to tap into Joy, sadness, bliss, and everything in between, it is a dance of life and all that life offers us, when we dance with it all, the energy has a channel, the body being a beautiful instrument for this.
Headphones will be provided.
​
What are the benefits of a Cacao Ceremony?
Cacao is a sacred, heart-opening medicine that has been used in ceremony for thousands of years by tribes in South & Central America. The ceremonial grade cacao that we use in our retreats and events is unprocessed and alive in spirit, with soft feminine energy and powerful healing effects. On a physical level, cacao can help us form new pathways in our brain to release serotonin & dopamine, bringing feelings of joy and bliss; it's also full of beneficial minerals such as magnesium, copper, zinc & iron which nourish our bodies. On an energetic level, cacao helps to open the heart and release blocked emotions & stagnant energy.
​
What are the benefits of wild swimming?
One of the most notable advantages of wild swimming comes from being immersed in a large quantity of very cold water. This increases our white blood cell count and simultaneously stimulates the lymphatic system and boosts blood circulation.
Coldwater therapy, as it’s known, causes blood to flow away from the skin’s surface towards the organs as a means of conserving body heat. This process in turn boosts circulation, flushes out waste matter and delivers fresh, nutrient-filled blood to both the brain and vital organs.

YOUR IN-HOUSE CHEF
​
I have always had a passion for cooking and as my own healing journey has unfolded, nutrition has played a key role in my wellness. I like to take inspiration from all over the world and endeavour to bring back tips and recipes from my travels too. I have also begun to grow my own veg and learn about foraging over the past few years; I hope to bring some of this goodness to the offerings for this special retreat and will aim to source good local ingredients where possible too. Seeing people enjoy a good nutritious meal I have created brings me a great sense of fulfilment and joy and I can't wait to share it with you all on Estellas retreat
