SPIRITUAL ACCOMMODATION
Capel Seion
You will stay in an architecturally converted Grade 11 listed chapel. Dating back to 1806, the interior has been designed to retain all its sacred features, with light-filled open spaces, perfect for group gatherings. The Chapel stands majestically in the heart of the village of Aberffraw overlooking the estuary and the gateway to Anglesey’s finest coastal walks. This delightful space offers stylish king-size rooms with ensuite bathrooms and twin bedrooms sharing a bathroom.
HEALTHY, SUMPTIOUS, PLANT-BASED NUTRITION
Complementing your weekend of wellbeing, we will include a full vegan menu and refreshments. Our retreat chef Catherine Humphrys from Wildings Vegan Kitchen, is passionate about fresh produce. She delights in making dishes sing with flavour and colour and she has some special treats for those with a sweet tooth. The weekend is all about discovering new ideas and Catherine will share her passion with tips and techniques on making nutritional vegan food, even on a budget.
Catherine Humphrys from Wildings Vegan Kitchen is our private chef for the weekend!! She has spent the past 40 years creating and enjoying plant-based food and has been working as a professional chef since 2019.
Wildings Vegan Kitchen was established to meet the growing demand for home-cooked vegan food in North Wales, where she has lived since 2007. Having been purely self-taught, she then trained at Demuth’s cookery school in Bath, UK where she learned so much more about making not only food bursting with interesting flavours and textures, but food that looks beautiful on a plate. We are so excited to have her join us!

CHAKRA BALANCE
WATCHING YOU STEP INTO YOUR POWER IS A PRIVILEGE
to witness and reinforces my belief that EVERYONE (Yes, YOU too!)
holds phenomenal potential within them to heal their minds and bodies
with a few simple insights and tools and live their best lives.
Growing up beside the Eco Village, The Findhorn Foundation in Scotland, I was introduced at an early age to the practice of energy healing. Two, kind souls from the Foundation took me under their wings and helped me discover the power of the energy within and around us.
I was introduced to Reiki and this was nearly 40 years ago long before it was used in the NHS and a well know healing modality
I continued to explore other natural practices of healing and qualified as an aromatherapist, reflexologist and Reiki Master. In my more mature years I studied yoga, breathwork and meditation and now teach classes in Cheshire. However, being witness to the journeys of many clients has been humbling and inspiring. Most find me when nothing else has worked, they feel stuck, afraid and are sometimes fighting for their health, and ultimately their life. I look forward to meeting you!
DANI
Owner of Periscope Programmes
“Blow open possibilities life is for living!”
I am an academic hippy who loves connecting and supporting people to notice where they are and where they want to be because it blows open opportunities to do things differently, life is for living right!
Starting out as a youth and community worker, careers advisor, teacher, lecturer, researcher in social mobility and now a private facilitator in universities, health and prisons my focus is to support positive outcomes for people and organisations. For teams to become more efficient and individuals to become happier through examining their focus, supporting promotion, career change, riting outputs and time with family, friends, themselves. I now balance an ability to intuitively apply various tools and models with the spiritual grounding and love of the outdoors.
I can't think of a better space for us to notice where we are, play with potential and consider what's possible, than the gorgeous Isle of Anglesey.
