St Nectans Glen Samhain Retreat 30th Oct-1st Nov 2026
"This retreat was wonderful - a deeply moving experience, which will stay with me for a long time. A big thank you to Ellie and Louise for their warmth and inspiration and for creating such a safe and supportive space."
Come and join us for a weekend in nature at the enchanted St. Nectan's Glen - where the sacred waters meet the lush woodlands.
As nature slows down and enters deep rest we invite you to do so as well. We will take time to honour the changing cycles within our bodies as well as the earth and reflect on all that we are harvesting as we move into our wise woman years
"From the moment we met Louise and Ellie in the car park to begin the retreat I felt held and supported. The whole weekend was an abundance of incredible energy. Louise, Ellie and the rest of the group had so much love to share. The yoga, spiritual teachings and waterfall dips were perfect and felt magical in the beauty of St Nectans Glen. As if that wasn't enough the accommodation and retreat space was luxurious and the food was chefs kiss amazing!!!! Thankyou thankyou thankyou"
You’ll be entering one of the UKs most Spiritual sites at Samhain, a magical time of year where nature begins to slow down and we can also take time for deep rest and reflection.
The veil is said to be thin around samhain, as it is with transitional times in our lives. If we can allow ourselves this time to rest, recharge and go within we can access some of the power and the magic that is accessible to us at this time.
Immerse yourself in the healing powers of yoga and meditation, participate in sharing circles, and enjoy delicious, nourishing food that celebrates the harvest season.
Experience the cleansing energy of the waterfall and the tranquility of the surrounding nature, as we honour the divine feminine through the wisdom of Elen of the Ways and Goddesses of yoga.
Samhain is a time to honour the cycles of life, reflect on the past and set intentions for the future. This retreat invites you to embrace this seasonal shift while also exploring your personal journey through this transformational phase of life.
Lets gather together to support and uplift one another in sacred circle.

About us
Louise is a much loved and inspirational teacher, guide and role model who is passionate about working with people’s life force through yoga, and for women to draw on this energy for a sense of connection and empowerment. She teaches beautiful yoga classes, full of inspiring and thought provoking stories, mantras and meditation.
"I have practised yoga for over 20 years and have experienced many good teachers and some great ones. The creativity, care and expertise with which Louise combined movement, story, music and visual input in her teaching this weekend is something that truly blew my mind however. I feel I have been shown yoga in a completely different light that speaks to me in a way I didn't even know existed nor that it would be so wonderful!"
Ellie is a reiki master, holistic health coach, womb wisdom practitioner and nurse. She has a passion for helping you to connect to the power that you already have within you to support your own health and wellbeing, letting this life force energy guide you in bringing your dreams and gifts into the world.
"Ellie has a way of guiding meditation with such lightness, that it becomes completely effortless to go incredibly deep. I suspect the ease she bestows on those in her care comes from a real mastery of her craft - the art of holding people"
They both feel there is something so special and transformative about St Nectans and have loved holding this retreat, tapping into some of the magic, power and healing of the place to create something uniquely suited to the needs of women ready to harness the light and energy that lies within, to bring meaning, purpose, or a sense of being to their lives.
