Escape the demands of everyday life and join Katie for a restorative day of cacao, mindful movement and connection with nature, in the peaceful surroundings of the Yoga Studio.

Katie is a somatic dance leader, transformational coach, registered nutritionist, cacao ceremonialist and author. Blending modern science with ancient, earth-centred traditions, her approach helps release stress, restore balance and deepen our connection with the body.

The day begins with gentle movement and grounding practices, followed by a warming cacao ceremony inspired by the cycles of the moon and the body's natural rhythms. This leads into a guided somatic dance experience, encouraging freedom of movement, self-expression and renewed vitality.

After lunch, a nature-inspired movement practice invites you to connect with the elements and tune into your body's own wisdom. The retreat closes with a sharing circle, offering time to reflect and take the day's sense of calm and connection into everyday life.

Leave feeling nourished, grounded and renewed, with a deeper connection to yourself and the natural world.

No previous experience of somatic movement or cacao ceremonies is needed, just an open mind and a willingness to slow down.
