Rediscover yourself in the sacred landscape of Avebury, a World Heritage site of stone circles, ancient avenues and long barrows. This Wild Soul Retreat invites you into five days of women-only exploration and transformation in a place where Eline has held her own ceremonies for many years.
This retreat blends movement, nature immersion, ceremony and quiet reflection. It offers a grounded way to nourish your body and spirit, and walk in kinship with the ancient land at this powerful turning of the year.
5 days and 4 nights in The Farm, a wonderful retreat within the ritual landscape of Avebury
Rooms include private and shared options; preferences are welcome, though final allocation supports the group as a whole.
3 home cooked meals daily, plus snacks and tea, prepared with local and organic ingredients
Morning Qi Gong with Eline to reconnect with your body, reflect in movement and integrate your journey
Afternoon outdoor adventures, to immerse yourself in the ritual landscape and walk in the footsteps of the ancestors
Time for personal reflection and connection in small groups
Option to spend a night in West Kenneth Long Barrow in ceremony (you can decide this during the week)
Depending on interest Eline can arrange for a hot tub, sauna and 1:1 body-work (payable directly to practitioner)
This midsummer retreat invites you into a living dialogue between movement, nature and ceremony. Each day unfolds in a gentle rhythm: mornings of embodied awakening through Qi Gong movement and self reflection, afternoons of land-based exploration and evenings of circle work and ceremony.
A retreat to rest, root and re-image rather than learn lots of new things. Create the inner spaciousness needed for your transition and renewal, within the sacred landscape that holds us.
Avebury is one of Britain’s most evocative ancient landscapes. Once a place of pre-Christian ceremony and still alive with contemporary pagan practice, its curves, meandering lines and chambers echo the great womb, inviting us to come home to the body of the earth, and the earth of our bodies. Here, the turning of the seasons and the energy of the land are palpable, opening portals between worlds and times.
The Farm in Avebury is a beautiful retreat venue with converted stables arranged around a peaceful landscaped courtyard. Each space blends comfort with quiet, contemporary simplicity.
Powered by solar energy and air-source heat pumps, the site produces more energy than it consumes and aligns beautifully with the Wild Soul ethos of honouring ecology and community.
Rooms at The Farm include a mix of private and shared options. The retreat uses a single flat price.
You can share preferences and essential needs (medical, access, or safety-related), and I will do my best to take it into account, though room types cannot be guaranteed.
This includes four nights of accommodation, indoor/outdoor spaces for practice, all meals and Eline’s full tuition for sessions and ceremonies throughout the retreat.

I’m a movement anthropologist and founder of Wild Soul Centre, with a lifelong passion for movement, nature and embodied spirituality. For almost twenty years I’ve walked and worked in ancient ritual landscapes like Avebury, Orkney and Carnac, weaving movement, mythology and ceremony into pathways of reconnection. I look forward to sharing these lands and practices with you.

June is usually a beautiful time in Wiltshire, but we will be in the UK, so rain is possible all year round.
