Testimonials
“I wanted the space and time to be able to tell you how deeply affected I was by the space you created, and how altered I felt being led by you and Shelley. It felt like a deep remembering, something I and I think all women are so in need of, a journey of vulnerability and empowerment at the same time. It was also beyond inspiring to me to be led by women who have followed their hearts and stepped into a calling of providing these spaces and practices. The sense of “ coming home” has not left me. I so look forward to the next workshop, and once again send the deepest thanks to you and Shelley for providing me with such a rich and beautifully led experience.”

“Shelley’s soul pours forth from her eyes , her heart. Gentle reassuring giving. Her breathwork session gave rise to huge emotion from all of us, but felt safe and so held. The joy too of her shaking session, feet rooted down to the depths of the earth arms reaching to the limitless sky. Inhibitions a thing of irrelevance , joy and laughter bubbling up as we moved shook and danced, surrounded by nature.”
— Juliet
"From the moment Rose's voice came into her virtual Soma practice, my body instantly surrendered. So much so, tears streamed down the side of my face. These tears were not that of sorrow, but of love for giving myself this moment of trust with a perfect stranger. I have a daily at home yoga practice, but Rose's voice authentically guided our group with her kind and articulated female energy. Her voice is a gift! It truly allowed me to release the tension I carry in my neck and lower back. Thank you, Rose, I'll be back for more of your beautiful energy and guidance."
- Karen
"Rose is a weaver of soft, shamanic and tender places. She transmits the deeply wild feminine current with full force but in the container of her enourmous heart it all becomes safe, exquisite and transformatively healing medicine. I know few people who are bold enough, raw enough, honest enough to visit the most challenging corners of humanness and bring back such nourishing medicine of empathy and holding for the benefit of others. You can trust her to be gentle with your heart. Always."
— Tiina
“I arrived on a sunny Friday afternoon slightly nervous not knowing what to expect and at the same time I had an absolute understanding that somehow I was not meant to be anywhere else. Every moment that unfolded from the very first moment I met Rose reassured me that I had been right to listen to my intuition. I felt so held in the space that Rose had created and so very safe. Physically safe as well as emotionally and spiritually. From Rose’s non-linear movement session, to Shelley’s breath work practice, every moment felt like it was sprinkled with magic stardust. The attention that was given to every detail was astounding and so very special. Rose’s ability to feel into the group and intuitively know what we all needed was magical. After a gruelling few years it was the miracle I had prayed for. Thank you so much Rose!”
— Nikki
“The retreat with Rose felt quite magical and significant. Before coming I felt curious about questioning my creativity from a more authentic place… the day offered so much wonderful rich spaciousness and unexpected revelations which, three days later are still speaking to me… I feel like I met a part of myself which I always sensed was there but didn’t quite know how to connect with. Rose created such a safe, relaxed space. Anything was welcome and it truly felt like a sanctuary in the busyness of my mind and living here in London . I highly recommend for any artist who wants to release more of who they truly are into their work and life.”

Alongside her work in film & television, she has studied and immersed in holistic modalities including the Non-Linear Movement Method® ; Ceremonial Cacao facilitation; Womb Ceremony facilitation; Shamanic Breathwork; Evolutionary Astrology, Shamanic Studies & Somatic Trauma Therapy for over 15 years.

Her retreats offer nurturing and exploration for creative beings. A re-wilding of the self, to inspire and ignite the creative fire. Weaving expression through the body, mind, soul and spirit through elemental teachings. Drawing heavily on lessons from the natural world and our relationship to it. Rose loves inspiring others to remember their truth and the original spring of their art, through listening deeply to life.
Shelley Blaze
Shelley is at the core of her work a "space holder." Whether as a breath and sound facilitator or in her everyday life, her passion is creating spaces where others can heal and grow. Her journey, shaped by challenges and valuable lessons, has brought her to where she is today. Shelley has always been drawn to exploring the deeper layers of emotions, behaviours, and how the internal world shapes the external reality. As an empath, she has learned to embrace her sensitivity, which she now views as one of her greatest strengths in the work she does.
Her path has led her through years of self-exploration, supported by incredible healers and transformative experiences. Throughout her journey, Shelley has felt a calling to help others reconnect with their true selves and nature. It is an honour for her to facilitate this process for others, and she remains dedicated to continuously learning, growing, and evolving—just like the energy that flows through all of us.
Ceremonial Cacao
Rose: In 2019 I went to my first Cacao Ceremony with Sorrell Robbins in Margate and I fell in love. I spent the next few years journeying at regular ceremonies in person and online with Sorrell, Rebekah Shaman and (the late) Keith Wilson of Keith's Cacao (who I also did Cacao Practitioner training with). From 2020 I started sharing cacao with friends, in groups, in ceremony, by the sea, in the forest, in the city, by the river, with drumming, with the gong, with silence, when in love or in pain.
I experience the pure ceremonial Cacao as a very nurturing gentle heart opener and a support in connecting deeper to creativity, imagination and life force. To help tune into the quiet voice within.
I share cacao in many ways, in individual ceremony and in groups, sometimes with drumming, sound bowls, breathwork or movement.
How to Prepare your Cacao for the Journey
You can make your Cacao up using the following quantities:
~ 42 grams (per 250ml) if you would like to take a ceremonial dose and 21-30 grams (per 250ml) for a lighter dose (or for those who are affected by caffeine)
~ I’d suggest not to take any other drink containing caffeine during the day of the journey, either before or after. And keep off any alcohol for the 24-48 hours either side of the Journey.
Medical Info
Please avoid cacao if you are on SSRI's or an antidepressants, heavily pregnant, have high blood pressure or heart problems.
Where to Buy
The cacao I work with in my sessions is from Keith's Cacao, Rebekah Shaman of Ritual Cacao. I choose these cacao's because of the ethical approach both have in how they personally source their cacao. I have a relationship & have journeyed & created with for many years with these cacao’s. More recently I have discovered Maria Cacao which I have brought into my practice.
Maria Cacao (in the UK you can buy from The Dream Of)
