Weekend Day tickets
I am planning for you, a relaxing and creative long weekend designed for individuals, friends, couples or singles who would like to get together to learn, relax, share stories and eat great food.
Taking place in the wonderful Ceridwen Centre, West Wales. You are invited to come on your own, with a friend or partner to enjoy the company of others and to be part of a small group of people. The idea is to relax, indulge yourself a little and focus on yourself and the year ahead.
My aim is for you to leave, feeling refreshed, inspired and hopefully to have learned a new skill or two.
We have put together some lovely activities to inspire you.
Storytelling, yoga, mindfulness and sewing, with lots of time built in for you to relax.
Ceridwen is nestled in the West Wales countryside, down a winding road, you could be anywhere in the world!
My plan for us is this:
I will be booking the dairy which is a lovely large space for the workshops. Next to it is the Byre which has room for us to eat and gather and has a small kitchen and rooms upstairs.
Our team:
Ruth from Release your shooting star is a life coach and since 2016 she has incorporated Vision Boards into her coaching, both in 1:1 sessions and in groups.
Her passion for the use of Vision boards grew and in 2020 and whilst studying for a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, she conducted her research study into the impact of creating a Vision Board.
Ruth will encourage you to Creatively explore your life goals, values and purpose, Enabling you to take action towards making progress to help you to flourish in life.
On Saturday evening we will be sitting down with our great friend Pippa Davies, who’ll be sharing research for a forthcoming book ‘Age Like An Artist’, where she asks “can creativity help us age better”?
Nia, a yoga specialist, runs BeYou yoga from her studios in Cardigan is unfortunately away on her own retreat in Portugal but her sidekick Lou will be running a yoga/relaxation class for you to totally unwind on the Sunday late afternoon.
…and for those of you who wish to be creative Suzi will be working with you on sewing machines, working with Melin Tregwynt fabric to make a cushion cover, bag or purse.
Our food
Willbe prepared for us by the very wonderful and talented Liz Haughton.
