The Strawberry Moon Evening Retreats
An intimate evening on a private island, on my houseboat on the Thames.
This is an evening to step off the treadmill of giving to everyone else and have some time that is just yours. To slow down, check in with yourself and notice where you actually are, then let the week ease out of you.
We gather the weekend the Strawberry Moon rises, the first full moon of summer and a time long linked to letting go of what you have outgrown and making space for what is next. As the sun sets over the river, the near full moon rises low and golden over the water to meet us.
For the ones who feel it all, and rarely get held.
The evening flow
4.30pm. Optional early arrival. Come and enjoy the river before we begin. Chai and ceremonial cacao served for anyone who would like to arrive slowly.
5.00pm. Opening ceremony. We gather as the light softens and settle into the evening together.
5.40pm. Coming home to yourself. A guided practice to help you arrive, slow down and tune in to how you are really feeling, with nothing to fix or figure out.
6.30pm. The most releasing and soothing part of the evening. We use somatic energy release, tapping and gentle flash EMDR to build nervous system resilience and release the tension and bring you somewhere softer.
7.00pm. Pause. Fifteen minutes on the deck with warm drinks and snacks. No phones, no agenda. Just the water and the lowering sun.
7.15pm. The honest conversation. The truth underneath the polished version. Why your path wants to exist, and the gifts that flow through you so easily you have stopped noticing them.
7.55pm. The release experience. A gentle, effortless release as the sun sets over the water. Your clear next step often arrives here on its own.
8.30pm. Closing ceremony under the moon. On the deck, beneath the rising Strawberry Moon. A few words spoken from somewhere that has genuinely shifted.
9.00pm. Ends.
You leave with
The noise turned down enough to hear yourself again. The week released from your body. One clear next step you trust. And the memory of an evening that belonged entirely to you.
What to bring
Your journal. A blanket for the deck. Comfortable layers, as it cools on the water after sunset. An open heart.
