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
"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."

“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!”

“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.”
