Elemental Being 2025
Fri 18th - Mon 21st April, 2025
Totnes, Devon
Join us on the Elemental Being Retreat for a tender-brave exploration of our interbeing with all that is.
Four empowering days in community to liberate your Elemental Being!
A fully-inclusive and deeply nourishing journey over a long-weekend from just £250.
As we move towards Beltane, we will celebrate the full spectrum that life offers, weaving together therapeutic practices, archetypal explorations, the 8 Cs of internal family systems, elemental ceremonies, yoga, dance and more.
Through the magic of the group container, we will connect more joyously to ourselves, each other and the natural world.

“Where to begin!! The cacao ceremony was so rich, soulful & at times incredibly confronting. I felt a deep connection to myself that I truly thought I'd lost. I also worked through some personal shadows that needed releasing, to do that with the support from this group was so powerful. Also the final practices I found particularly moving. What a beautiful exercise in expressing self love. Megan's knowledge always blows me away, and Bendy's kind heart kept the space so soft & nourishing. Grateful is too small of a word” - Chelsea, Bristol
Why come?
To meet our different parts with curiosity and compassion, to connect to the richness of our bodies and the deep wisdom that can be found there, to unlearn the bullsh*t and remember our truths, to touch into our unique gifts and the profound power of community.
This will be a gentle yet brave, welcoming yet challenging, soft yet strong space for you to be held, and from that loving place, explore your edges. All workshops are also optional, with free time each day.
“I can say whole heartedly that I have come away a better person and it has catapulted me into improving and changing my life even more than before. Becoming better for myself and those that I love. Going on this retreat is one of the best decisions I have ever made.”
The Space
When not in the shala, you can enjoy the chill out areas with sofas and bean bags, peaceful gardens or the sauna. Only a short trip away is the colourful town of Totnes and the River Dart, ideal for wild swimming. The retreat space is surrounded by the glorious Yeoland, with altars to the different elements across the landscape.
The Support
I will be leaning into my experience of holding space for people for the last 15 years, including working with severely traumatised people in my NHS role as a clinical psychologist, running workshops and retreats, delivering training and supervision, and teaching yoga.
Bendy will be assisting the retreat, bringing with her a wealth of experience in holding space for others through her roles in hair, make-up, TV and also as a yoga teacher. Shell will be serving up three delicious meals a day, plus snacks and drinks. You can see her incredible creations for our last elemental retreat here. Already drooling thinking about being fed by her each day again!
The retreat is not a space for individual therapy, but attendees have found the journey over the four days and the loving-holding of the group to be deeply therapeutic and transformative.
“I cannot recommend this retreat enough. Megan holds space so beautifully and the days are crafted so carefully to journey you through the elements, connecting you to nature and your heart, through your body. I really loved the barefoot elemental walk and cacao dance ceremony. I felt free to be myself. Writing this is making me realise just how much we did as there’s so much more I could say! What took me most by surprise is how connected to the whole group I felt in just a few days that it was difficult to leave. I am so grateful for this experience and definitely recommend you take the leap and go on this wonderful journey. I am already booked on to Elemental Woman! If I was to sum it up in one word it would be: joyful” - Amy H, Bristol
A fully inclusive four day adventure from £250 (flexible payment plans available).

With love

“It was absolutely amazing. I thought the balance of movement, reflection, learning, talking in big / small groups, activities, quiet time, noisy time, fun time, sad time and DANCING was brilliant”
