Upcoming retreat

JUST BE

A women’s rest retreat

Sometimes we need a few days away from daily life. A few gentle days to step away from the noise and demands of everyday life and come HOME to yourself. Come HOME to your heart.

A space to rest. To breathe. To sleep deeply. To be nourished and cared for. To reconnect with ourselves, nature, and softer rhythms.

JUST BE is a gentle women’s rest retreat here at Home House Homestead in the Norfolk countryside — a retreat for women longing for space to simply be, without pressure, agenda, a schedule, or expectation.

Looking for a private or accommodation-led retreat rather than a scheduled date? Visit Retreats or browse Stays.

Space to

  • Rest and sleep deeply
  • Walk in nature
  • Read beneath the apple trees
  • Journal, pray, or meditate
  • Share stories around the fire
  • Enjoy wholesome homemade food
  • Sing, move, create
  • Or simply do nothing at all but sleep and eat

Optional practices may organically arise throughout our days together: movement, breathwork, prayer, dhikr, music, creativity, storytelling, and quiet reflection. And maybe none of it may arise depending on the needs of the group. Everything is invitational. Everything soft.

This is not a retreat about fixing yourself. It is a space to soften, exhale, and come HOME to yourself.

There is also an invitation for less online use and more presence, connection, nature, and real rest during our days together — an opportunity to put your phone in a box for your stay if that feels like something you’d like to do as an intention. You can of course have it at any point for women concerned about children, families, and people they care for.

This retreat is for

  • The woman who is tired, worn out, and needs a rest
  • The woman longing to exhale
  • The woman craving simplicity, slowness, nature, warmth, and meaningful connection
  • The woman who works long days and never stops
  • The woman who spends all her time looking after her family and loved ones
  • The woman who wants to be with other women in an organic, natural environment with no agenda other than to just be together
  • The woman who longs to slow down enough to listen to her heart and deep inner wisdom

Bespoke retreats

Bespoke retreats for women

I offer bespoke, in-person retreats for women at Home House, for those who feel called to come and work with me more deeply.

Held in a peaceful and nurturing setting, these retreats are an invitation to slow down, soften, and enter into a deeper process of healing, rest, and reconnection.

Each retreat is created around your individual needs. Your time here may include Sufi healing, breath and bodywork, hijama, massage, sacred sound, as well as space to rest, be in nature, and simply be.

You are welcome to come alone, or with a sister, friend, or small group. Retreats can be held as quiet, restorative stays, or as more guided and immersive healing experiences.

Upcoming event

Garden of Sound

A sound healing experience

Ana and Amanda are beyond excited to be bringing you this event.

Set at Home House, a beautiful English old flint house nestled in the countryside, surrounded by a mature and abundant garden, this gathering invites you into a space of deep rest, connection, and subtle transformation.

Ok, so, we start gently: Amanda will lead a fascia flow and Ana will guide a nourishing breathwork practice — all easy joyful practices to enliven your sense of vitality. From this pleasant sense of connection, you will be guided into a live sound healing journey.

If the weather allows, we will lie together in the gorgeous garden — picture evening light, a rich soundscape of voice and instruments, and the evening song of birds in springtime. If not, we will gather inside the warm, intimate space of Home House and be deeply held in soft candlelight.

Garden at Home House

The soundscape

Voice, prayer, and living instrumentation.

Ana and Amanda weave together voice, prayer, and instrumentation into a living, intuitive sound journey. Together, they create an evolving soundscape using piano, harmonium, crystal and Tibetan bowls, drum, ukulele, guitar, and voice — a meeting of elements: earth, water, fire, and air; of classical and intuitive.

Closing the evening

After the journey, you will have a space to ground and connect. You can enjoy the garden and connect to the Earth, or share and connect with the other participants. For those who choose to stay on, we will be offering a nourishing soup and homemade bread, prepared with love, which you can enjoy around the fire.

This evening is for you if

  • Your heart needs to be nourished
  • You want to be held in a safe and loving container to just be
  • Your body and nervous system needs to reset and re-energise
  • You are in need of healing in a gentle and organic way
  • You want to experience what harmony in community feels like

A quiet, powerful collaboration and a space to receive.

About the hosts

Amanda

Amanda brings a lifelong devotion to music, beginning with classical piano at the age of four and continuing into formal studies in music and voice.

After almost two decades away from piano and voice, she rediscovered them through her healing and medicine songs inspired by Native American tradition — songs still sung today in Forrest Yoga ceremonies all over the world.

She has landed on the Sufi Path of Love, bringing the transmissions of Sufi prayers and sacred divine qualities that radiate healing into the heart and soul.

Ana

Ana has always had an intimate relationship with music and a natural musical ability. She also lost her voice for over a decade, rediscovering it through ancient Romanian songs and deep connection with nature.

She channels sounds from nature and melodies that move through her heart and soul, offering an intuitive soundscape aligned with the timeless musical essence that flows through humans.
