Join Ros&Rose Retreats (Sophie Rosalyn & Rachel Rose) in the heart of Glastonbury for our Spring Equinox Retreat – a journey of renewal and balance.
As the earth gently tilts toward longer days and warmer light, the Spring Equinox invites us to pause, reflect and realign. This sacred moment of balance between day and night marks the perfect time to shed old energies and plant seeds for growth, healing and transformation.

Hatha Yoga is a spiritual, mental & physical practice.
The Hatha Yoga system is made up of several ingredients!
During this practice, we explore asana (postures), pranayama (breath control/extension), dhyana (meditation) and savasana (rest). Hatha Yoga is accessible by all and allows us ways to cultivate, stillness, strength, freedom, ease and growth, physically, mentally and spiritually.

Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) is an ancient, guided meditation practice, where lying down, you will follow my voice and listen to the instructions. No movement is required.
During this practice, the body rests and mind sits in a state between awake and asleep. This is when we make our Sankalpa, a vow to our higher self, resolve or heartfelt intention. Is is a short forward directed statement that can bring about positive changes in our lives. When the mind is resting, it is ready to receive your resolve.
Yoga Nidra is deeply restorative and some of the benefits are:
- A full Yoga Nidra practice is only 25 minutes long, but it can feel like a full night’s sleep!
- It helps to release and unlock tension in the body.
- Clears & relaxes the mind.
- Reduces stress.
- Promotes focus, calm & clear thinking.
- Can support and provide relief from anxiety and depression.
- Soothes the nervous system and aids in a deeper sleep

“Reiki” (pronounced ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life energy’, and is a system of natural healing originally developed by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It works to restore the body’s natural energy flow, by channelling energy that exists in the universe.
How is it Offered?
Rachel acts as the channel for universal healing.
During Reiki, healing energy is transmitted, through the hands, sometimes with light touch or with hand a short distance from the body to stimulate your own natural healing resources.
How it is Experienced?
Pleasant sensations may be felt, warm & tingling, pulsing or sometimes cooling. You may not feel any sensations. Every experience is unique to the individual and the healing energy is intelligent, moving to wherever it is needed most.
Some of the Benefits
- Soothes pains, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
- Provides relief from difficult emotional states, stress and anxiety.
- Can help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
- Increases healing & recovery pre and post-surgery.
In some cases, such as terminal illness there can usually be great benefit and enhancement of the quality of life, bringing a sense of peace and acceptance during the time remaining.
How will I Feel?
Most people feel very relaxed and at peace after Reiki treatments, although Reiki can also stir up emotions as part of the healing process.
Reiki is incredibly powerful because it works on all levels; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Hypnosis is a totally natural state which most people experience several times a day unconsciously eg day dreaming is a light form of hypnosis. We automatically go into hypnosis any time we become deeply relaxed or highly focused on a given activity – when driving, reading or watching TV for example. This relaxation allows the conscious mind to rest and go into a neutral state – by doing so it allows communication with the subconscious mind directly.
This process is powerful because the subconscious mind can create positive changes. Through this communication with the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can help you to release repressed feelings and negative beliefs that restrict your ability to achieve your potential to live life to the full.
What does it feel like?
There is no universal ‘hypnotised feeling’, because everyone’s experience of hypnosis is different. The general feeling is of a deeply relaxed state and you will be completely aware of your surroundings at all times. You may feel light (or weightless), or you may feel very heavy (as if sinking into your yoga mat). Most people find the experience very calming and relaxing, giving them a sense of peace, comfort and wellbeing.
A sound bath takes place while you are lying or sitting comfortably with plenty of blankets and support. I will then play a range of instruments that are tuned to different frequencies and scales that aim to ease you into a meditative state. Each instrument has a unique sound and will be felt and experienced in different ways to each individual, It is an immersive journey through sound.
The crystal harp has a sound like no other sound therapy tool we have heard before. It has a fluid, ethereal and almost magical quality with deep & delicate resonate vibrations each time it is struck. The sounds then continue to ripple through the air, like the motion of gentle soothing waves kissing a shoreline under the light of the silver moon.
The mysterious Celtic Moon harp is made from certified 99.8% pure quartz crystal and is tuned to 432hz, a frequency used in specialist sound healing instruments. The scale is D and can encourage a deeper connection with both your emotions and inner wisdom or intuition, it offers you deep relaxation and comfort while it is played. It can be played to a group or individually over the body allowing you to feel not only the sound but the vibrations of the harp directly.
There are only one or two people in the UK with a similar instrument.

What are The Akashic Records?
The Akashic Records are essentially a giant energetic database which holds every thought, word, deed and vows of every living being, good, bad, and ugly, in all times; past, present, future. These are held in a non-physical plane of existence within the etheric realms.
Healing with the Akashic Records helps clear your records of specific energies that are no longer useful and ultimately through this healing, we are healing the ‘Soul’. It is your intention and energy that are key factors in making this connection and through the heart that you will get the best results. This can result in deep transformational work.
Rachel will gently guide you through a special meditation where you will access your Akashic Records where you can:
- clear soul contracts that are no longer serving you
- clear blocks through all previous lives and your present life
- clear repeating negative patterns from this lifetime and previous lifetimes
- release old emotional trauma
- clear Past Lives not serving your highest good and much more!

A Cacao Ceremony is a spiritual ritual that involves drinking ceremonial-grade cacao whilst offering a beautiful opportunity to connect with yourself on a deeper level. Cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine that helps to connect us with our intuition and higher selves and can aid emotional healing. It’s packed full of natural goodies to help calm your mind and body promoting relaxation. It’s like a hug for your soul!
Cacao is the rawest form of chocolate you will find containing genuine nutritional benefits and you will be enjoying ceremonial grade cacao which ensures the purest quality and authenticity of the heirloom bean. Every person may have a different reaction, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Cacao is a gentle facilitator. It inspires spirituality, exploration, creativity, healing and transformation.
Cacao is a powerful plant teacher and has been used in sacred healing ceremonies for centuries and has many benefits: 🍫known as a heart opener, it increases blood flow into the emotional and spiritual heart centre🍫helps to lower blood pressure🍫high in antioxidants that help balance blood sugar levels🍫gently energising and calming🍫enhances spiritual experiences🍫improved blood flow to the heart & brain🍫promotes relaxation due to high magnesium content🍫It can help promote creative flow as well as emotional flow🍫Powerful when coupled with intention to clear emotional blockages you may currently be facing.
Contraindications
Whilst Cacao is pretty safe to drink, like a lot of things there are a few contraindications to be aware of. If you are on MAOI based anti-depressants, cacao naturally contains Tyramine which is contraindicative of your medication. Cacao is not suitable for anyone with serious heart conditions, low blood pressure or anyone on blood thinning or blood pressure lowering medication, as it is a vasodilator. It is also not suitable for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you have any contraindications to cacao, please inform me so I can offer you a replacement heart-opening plant medicine tea instead.
Allergies: Cacao is made with 100% pure cacao, water and coconut milk. If you have any allergies, please inform me in advance so I can offer you a replacement heart-opening plant medicine tea instead.
