Sound Of Your Soul
Wales Retreat
8th- 11th JulY 2027
We warmly invite you to me and immerse yourself in the magic of Mother Nature for a deeply nourishing and transformative retreat of sound, connection, ceremony and remembrance. Set amongst the beauty of the Welsh landscape, this is an invitation to step away from everyday life and reconnect with the wisdom of your own soul and the natural world.
Through the birthing of your very own deer hide drum, voice activation and exploration workshops, animal spirit journeys, cacao ceremonies, breath practices, immersive sound journeys, guided meditations and shamanic-inspired practices, we will open the space for you to discover your unique expression through sound and prayer. Gather around the fire for ceremony, journey to the waterfall for a beautiful herbal flower bath and water blessing, and experience the joy of drumming, singing, dancing and sharing in community.
There will be space to explore, to release, to listen, to play, to be witnessed and to express yourself freely, surrounded by the beauty and embrace of the natural world. This is more than a retreat; it is an opportunity to remember who you are beneath the busyness of everyday life, to reconnect with your instincts, awaken your voice and rediscover the rhythms that live within you. Together, we will celebrate the beauty of being human, the power of community and the simple yet profound truth that we are not separate from nature we are nature.
MAKING YOUR OWN DRUM
Drum Birth Ceremony
You are invited to journey into the gentle medicine of the Deer Spirit to slow down, listen deeply, soften, and remember the sacred connection between all living things.
During this special retreat, you will be guided through a sacred drum-birthing ceremony, where you will lovingly create your own deer-skin drum.
The drum is more than an instrument. The drum is a living reminder of the heartbeat of the Deer Spirit.
As you birth your drum, you will be invited to place your prayers and intentions into its creation. With every touch, every knot, every beat, you will weave your own energy into the drum.
And when the drum is played, its heartbeat carries your prayers outward.
The heartbeat of the Deer ripples through the circle, through the Earth, and into the hearts of those who listen.
MEDICINE OF CACAO
Cacao Ceremony
Come gather with us around the sacred fire for a heart-opening cacao ceremony—a time to slow down, connect, celebrate life and remember the deep bond we share with one another and with Mother Nature.
With the beautiful medicine of cacao, we will gently open the doorway to the heart, creating a sacred space where we can soften, breathe and connect with ourselves and each other.
Around the altar of the fire, we will enter a prayer circle, offering our gratitude and intentions to our ancestors, to Mother Earth, to humanity and to all living beings.
Through song, dance, prayer, meditation and celebration, we will allow our hearts and bodies to move freely, creating a collective energy of love, gratitude and joy.
As we gather together, our individual hearts become one heartbeat. We will offer this energy outward, sending our prayers, love and intentions into the world—to those who need them, to the Earth we call home, and to future generations.
SOUND JOURNEYS
Heal & Release Through Conscious Breath Sound Journey
Our breath is one of the most intimate connections we have with life.
Every moment, we breathe in the world around us and breathe something back into it.
Through a guided breath and sound journey, you will be invited to explore the relationship between breath, body, vibration and awareness.
Using conscious breathing, sound and guided practices, we create space to soften the body and quieten the busy mind.
Sound surrounds you. The breath moves through you. The body begins to release.
And you are invited to simply experience yourself rather than analyse yourself.
A journey inward. A journey through breath. A journey back into the body.
CLEANSING CEREMONY
Herbal Flower Bath & Water Blessing
Immerse yourself in the ancient beauty of a Flower & Herb Bath Ceremony and Water Blessing—a sacred ritual inspired by traditions carried through generations and across many cultures, where flowers, herbs allies, water, intention, and prayer have long been used to cleanse, restore, and bless the body and spirit.
On an energetic level, flower and herb baths have traditionally been used as a form of purification—to clear stagnant or heavy energy, restore a sense of balance, strengthen intention, uplift the spirit, and mark a transition into a new chapter. Through the healing presence of water and the plant allies, you are invited to slow down, receive, release, and return to yourself feeling refreshed, grounded, open, and renewed.
Your bath is lovingly prepared with an intentional blend of flowers and herbs, each chosen for the qualities and symbolism they have carried through generations of traditional herbal and earth-based practices
SPIRIT ANIMAL MEDICINE
Animal Spirits – Allies On Your Journey
Nature is full of wisdom, and the animal world offers us a beautiful doorway into exploring our relationship with the living world.
Throughout our journey, we will invite you to connect with animal spirits as allies, exploring their qualities, instincts, symbolism and teachings.
What might the owl teach us about listening? What can the deer reveal about gentleness and sensitivity? What might the wolf awaken within us about instinct, belonging and connection?
Through guided journeys, reflection and sound exploration, we will deepen our awareness of the natural world and the subtle ways in which nature can inspire and guide our own journey.
We will invite you to listen not only with your ears, but with your whole being.
Held in the embrace of mother nature, this retreat brings together the rich ceremonial traditions and wisdom of Ruben, a Mayan-Aztec sound therapist, and Hollie Prema, whose practices are rooted in shamanic, Pagan and Wiccan traditions. Together, they weave their different cultural pathways into a beautiful tapestry co creating an invitation of deep transformation and remembering of our connection to Mother Nature.
Meet Hollie Prema
Hollie Prema is a herbalist, Traditional Tantra Yoga Therapist, shadow work facilitator, sound therapist, artist and shamanic practitioner rooted in the Pagan Wiccan lineage. Her work is guided by a deep and enduring relationship with Mother Earth, the natural world and the sacred interconnectedness of all life.
At the heart of Hollie’s offering is ceremonial prayer — a space to slow down, listen deeply and reconnect with the wisdom of nature, spirit and the self. She weaves together ancient practices, ritual and artistic sound therapy to support others on their own spiritual paths, creating spaces for reflection, healing, connection and transformation.
Along her journey, she has also received prayers, medicine and teachings from Indigenous people and communities across the world. With deep respect and reverence, she carries these experiences into her own practice, allowing them to inform the ceremonial spaces she creates.
Hollie creates immersive experiences that invite participants to reconnect with the rhythms of the Earth and the wisdom held within their own bodies and hearts. Her work is not about following a single path, but about remembering our connection to something greater. Hollie sees all of life as one family, one tribe, one consciousness expressing itself as a multidimensional uniques expressions. Hollies believes that nature can be a profound teacher and guide when we take the time to re connect.
Her retreats offer an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life, return to the natural world and explore the deeper layers of who we are. Through spiritual practices, ceremony and prayer, Hollie holds a space where participants can meet themselves with greater compassion, presence and openness.
“May all prayers be effective.”
Meet Ruben Yonton
A Nahu ritual artist born in central Mexico, from the ancestral territories of Anahuac today encompassing parts of Mesoamerica and Aridoamerica his work explores art as a vehicle for healing, transformation and collective reconnection.
Drawing upon Indigenous Mexican ritual traditions, he develops therapeutic artistic practices that adapt ancestral knowledge to contemporary European contexts. Through archetypal symbolism and community based ritual, his work creates spaces for spiritual, emotional and physical well being, inviting participants into shared processes of healing and self discovery.
Rubens practice is grounded in the understanding the the evolution of consciousness emerges through the integration of lived experience. Rather than viewing consciousness as fragmented he sees it as an inherent quality of all existence, with the boundaries that separate individuals arising from limiting forms of identification and conditioned perception.
