About The Retreat
Dates
3rd – 7th July
I’m incredibly excited to invite you to join me for another deep Shamanic Kundalini Yoga and Mystery School Immersion at the utterly divine 42 Acres in Somerset to celebrate the height of summer 2024.
Our Bealtaine Retreat in 2023 was such a highlight so I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to return to these epic lands and go even deeper into the building of the fire inside and continuing to work with the energy of the sun.
We will very much be focusing on the return to centre and to self. We will be working with all the light of the time and indeed be outside as much as possible in that beautiful estate there.
We will have two Shamanic Kundalini Yoga and Healing Sessions per day and the programme will be designed to fully support a homecoming to self, an unplugging to plug back in as it were and coming into a state to relax and allow the healing to happen.
We will have a workshop each day delving deeper in the mystery of this place and these traditions as well as Shamanic Rituals and Ceremonies.
Of course, we will have a trip to Glastonbury, to meditate and bathe in the white spring waters and we will make a pilgrimage to the top of the Tor.
As ever, but especially when in the fields of Avalon, I have very many plans for this offering but I also want to be really led by spirit and guided to allow the alchemy to unfold with this intentional coming together.
For the Celts, Avalon represented the land of the mythical and mystical. Avalon existed outside of the normal world but was accessible from it. And Avalon has long been associated with Glastonbury, indeed since the tombs of King Henry and Genevieve were found there. The history is so rich here and the energy so so powerful.
Your Retreat Leader and Host
Soul Adventures is a lifestyle, healing and yoga retreat company set up in 2006 by Trish Whelan.
Trish is a renowned Shamanic Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Shamanic Healer, Reiki Master Teacher and Sound Healing Therapist.
Trish Whelan has always been in the business of raising the vibe. During the 1990s and 2000s, Dublin-born Trish was a pivotal figure in the London music industry, running Nellee Nooper’s studio and label for over a decade and travelling between London and LA working with artists including U2, The Smashing Pumpkins, All Saints and Gwen Stefani.
As a big-hearted over-achiever in a hedonistic and high-pressure industry, Trish soon found herself called towards shamanism and the healing arts, studying reiki and kundalini yoga in the UK, India and the US. Her healing reiki-infused sounds recorded in Goa proved a hit, soundtracking Deepak Chopra’s TV series ‘The Happiness Prescription’.
In 2008, Trish was able to further unify her passion for healing with her love of music in running The Joe Strummer Music Foundation, which offers opportunities to aspiring musicians and support to valuable community music projects across the globe.
Profoundly conscious that all souls need to heal in order to vibrate at our highest frequency, Trish intensified her kundalini practice during these years and became a kundalini yoga teacher in 2012.
For the past decade, Trish has been based in the Balearic Islands, dedicating herself fully to shamanism and teaching kundalini yoga, offering transformational and intensely healing retreats in Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera, and further afield in Goa, Portugal and Ireland.
Trish’s compassion, connection, warmth, wit and wisdom have attracted a loyal tribe of clients that range from rockstars to CEOs. On top of her writing and broadcasting commitments, Trish currently offers a limited series of international small-group retreats every year, and develops bespoke healing programmes for private clients.
Venue
42 Acres is a rather unique place, set within 170 acres of wild spaces, ancient woodland and has a 7 acre lake.
Our yoga studio is in a gorgeous Mongolian yurt and that is where our circle will be. The food offering here is also spectacular, using Biodynamic and Permaculture principles. Wild foods are foraged and combined with locally sourced ingredients to create an unbelievably delicious and nutrient dense menu.
Healing is as always the priority here and leaving out of this experience with new tools to manage and thrive is some of what is on offer.
