Event description

My Wild Spirit Shamanic Day Retreat

Saturday 7th February |10am – 4pm | £55

Welcome to this nurturing shamanic immersion day where you’ll be introduced to your spirit animal, guides, and the modern-day practice of shamanism. Through the journeying space — a guided meditation supported by percussion — you’ll meet your helping guides, explore movement, sound and stillness, and experience shamanic techniques with practitioner Shaney.

Expect a holistic day of energetic clearing, gentle movement, grounding and healing practices designed to help you feel connected to your own power, inner guidance and overall sense of wellbeing.

Shamanism is an ancient, earth-based practice pre-dating religion. At its heart is a deep respect for nature and a belief that wellbeing is strengthened through right-relationship with the natural world.

Meet your host:

Shaney Barton is a shamanic practitioner, healer and teacher whose work supports people to re-connect with wisdom, energy, and rich communication from the natural world.

“When we begin to notice nature’s aliveness, she speaks to us through the plants, the trees, the animals, the elements — and everything else in creation. This is a sacred act of coming home to oneself and to the wider web of life. This is where true empowerment begins.”

This retreat immersion is open to novices as well as those who’ve already met their guides or spent time in the journey space. Everyone will receive something meaningful from the day. We’ll explore how to pose clear, grounded questions to your guides so you can gain insight, direction and clarity around your life path and purpose.

If you’re new to shamanism, know that everything we do is held gently, safely and at your own pace. There is no pressure to ‘get’ anything or to have any particular type of experience. This work is simply an invitation to slow down, breathe, and listen more closely to yourself — with support, grounding and guidance every step of the way.

Please bring a mat, blanket and cushion with you, as well as a journal and optional eye covering.

Teas and coffee included.

Spring and Summer immersions will build on this initial session, so some prior experience is helpful for these more in-depth explorations:

My Wild Spirit Shamanic Retreat Day: Spring Equinox Immersion

Saturday 28th March |10am – 4.30pm | £60 / £65

Explore shamanic practices, the element of Air as we greet the East at this time of Spring, connection with in-season plant spirits, as well as shamanic creative crafting.

Shamanic Crafting:

We will explore feather magic, creating practical and powerful ‘smudging’ tools for smoke cleansing practices, so you may wish to bring a few found feathers with you, although there will be many available to choose from.

My Wild Spirit Shamanic Retreat Day: Summer Solstice Immersion

Saturday 13th June | 10am – 4.30pm | £65 / £69

Explore shamanic practices, gentle movement & the element of Fire, experience deep rest and rejuvenation with immersion in healing sound therapy, and heart-centred Cacao plant medicine journey.

Journey to connect with the medicine and wisdom of Cacao spirit, a heart-activating and healing plant ally, traditionally used in Mesoamerican cultures as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Relax into the healing frequencies with a restorative sound bath designed to decompress the nervous system and take the spirit on a gentle restful journey within.
