June is here and we have the last remaining spaces available for the Summer Solstice Day Retreat.

🌻Through the magic of botanicals, we’ll be working with the magic of nature to unlock the goddess within and the power you hold.

Expect:

🌺 Bespoke meditations working with the Summer Solstice and Goddess energies

🌺 Creative botanical workshop. Celebrate yourself and your journey so far this year. Allow yourself to bloom onto the paper in front of you like the Goddess that you are!

🌺 An immersive holistic 2 hour natural perfume making workshop with Kate Cheer. “Fragrance holds the power to heal, transform and transport us”
👇🏼

✨ Awaken Your Senses & Create Magic ✨

Step into a world of beautiful scents, where ancient wisdom meets modern science.

Why stop at one magical scent when you can learn to craft your own?

Discover the art of natural perfume making and unlock the secrets of scent. For centuries, our ancestors understood what modern science now confirms… fragrance holds the power to heal, transform, and transport us.

Your Magical Journey Includes:
✨2 hours of pure alchemy
✨Over 50 pure essential oils to explore
✨Your very own crystal-infused roller ball perfume to take home
✨E-book of perfume recipes for home creations
✨Herbal infusions & raw chocolate to nourish your soul during the session

Learn how bergamot lifts the spirit, how vetiver grounds the mind, and how your unique olfactory system can guide you to crafting your perfect personal scent. This isn’t just perfume making, it’s a journey into the poetry of plants and the magic that lives within you.

🌺 Buffet style lunch in their main restaurant with various different salads, hams, cheeses, baguettes, chutneys, vegan sausage rolls, cream teas and of course....something sweet (all catered for all dietary requirements).

🌺 Welcome drinks and pastries with plenty of refreshments throughout the day.

Cute prompt! It nearly got it right you know , apart from the coffee 😆

Here’s the prompt if anyone wants to try…

Make sure you attach a photo of yourself and then paste the below.

Paste yours below too 🥳

Please draw the character in the uploaded images, [INSERT NAME] in a loose, expressive sketchbook illustration style. Use a bright white background filled naturally with scattered drawings — full body poses, face close-ups, tiny doodles, handwritten notes, exaggerated expressions, chibi/deformed versions, outfit sketches, movement studies, and personality details. Make it feel messy, playful, and artist-driven — like an illustrator’s personal

Instagram used to be a place where we could just share photos for the sake of sharing photos. SO, here’s some of mine from the last week or so 🥰 I had a lovely birthday in my new home and I’ve also discovered I am excellent at musical statues 🤣

We had a magical women’s circle delving into the world of play and wonder through a very whimsical meditation and creative session ✨🌸 The next circle (same theme) is this Sunday by the way 2-4pm and I have 2 spots left.

I will continue to say this as well…if you have been thinking of coming to a circle and feel a bit nervous coming in your own, please know the majority of women do come on their own. It’s small groups of 8 for a reason and it’s a very welcoming and chilled environment. I like to think of it as hanging out with friends, who just happen to love anything a little bit woo (or a lot) and fancies balancing the nervous system with meditation and creativity. Reconnecting back into yourself and quite honestly, remembering how bloody magical and powerful you are!

You are more powerful than you know!

Madeleine 😘

For 9 years my business focused on using essential oils to create very specific blends for my candles which could shift the energy in your space and yourself.

This is exactly why I resonated so much with Kates work and her words AND exactly why I wanted ask her if she would do a workshop with us for our Summer Solstice retreat day!

Kate Cheer holds many strings to her bow and this 2 hour workshop for our retreat is just one of them. She is magic 🌸

In the afternoon of our solstice retreat day, Kate will guide you into the magic of natural perfume making. Creating a scent that will empower, heal and transport you! This journey will include:

✨2 hours of pure alchemy
✨Over 50 pure essential oils to explore
✨Your very own crystal-infused roller ball perfume to take home
✨E-book of perfume recipes for home creations
✨Herbal infusions & raw chocolate to nourish your soul during the session

Learn how bergamot lifts the spirit, how vetiver grounds the mind, and how your unique olfactory system can guide you to crafting your perfect personal scent. It’s a journey into the poetry of plants and the magic that lives within you.

This doesn’t really matter when it was written, if you find this and you’re reading it, it’s for you.

It’s not been edited- even though I desperately wanted to. Take what you need and hopefully as a gentle reminder that we don’t always need to have it figured out. I for one have realised that when I rest, is when the biggest ideas and plans come through.

Give yourself time to breathe, cut out the noise for a little while if you can 😘

Sending lots of love, Madeleine

A January reset with great company, plenty of tea, snacks, crystals 😍😆

The theme this month - RESET

We’ll do a short 20min meditation alongside little 1-2-1 reiki infusions from myself.

As well as all this, lots of chat and laughter 💕 it’s small groups of up to 8 and it really does feel like a group of friends gathering each time. Even if you don’t know anyone (most women come on their own) your cup will be well and truly filled by the end of it 🥰
