Birth to Rebirth: Warm Water Breathwork Retreat
DATE: 16th - 20th July 2025
Ready for a deep soul journey? Ready to let the consciousness of water and the consciousness in your breath unite, to hold you in a sacred space? Join Kerry Veitch and Pablo Castro for a time for healing, connection and growth, as you are guided back to source, back to the essence of who you are and what you have come here to experience.
In this five day retreats we invite you to slow right down, to feel the magic in full body presence, to be able to explore deep rooted, pre-verbal and somatic imprints. We’ll be exploring your birth patterns, pre-natal and in the time shortly after birth. All held within your system.
Warm Water Rebirthing is a gentle yet profound form of conscious connected breathwork which induces an altered state of consciousness. This allows the body to process emotions, energy, and birth patterns on a somatic level.
In this experiential retreat we honour the birthing energy as a sacred process, knowing that it will guide us perfectly to rebirth and a new awareness. The power of the breath, a safe space, and tuning into divine feminine energy allows for that transformation.

A four-night, Late Summer Retreat
Wednesday August 27th to Sunday August 31st
Yoga and Alexander Technique
with Anna Goldbeck-Wood and Tim Soar
“I feel amazing!”
2024 participant, on the last morning of our Fforest Barn Retreat
Tim and Anna are skilful, attentive teachers with forty years of teaching experience between them. They form a close and complementary team, to support you in your physical practice as well as whole-self enquiry.
Our retreat offers three whole days filled with group classes for different aspects of Yoga, Alexander Technique, and animal and evolutionary movement. There will also be scheduled time for everyone to be offered a full length one-to-one Alexander Technique or Yoga lesson, and for exploring the locality on your own, or taking a well-earned rest.
You are invited to arrive for tea from 4:00 on the Wednesday afternoon. Departure is after breakfast, on the Sunday morning.
Anyone with some experience of either Yoga or the Alexander Technique, and an interest in the two disciplines together is very welcome. There are four group sessions each day, two Yoga practices led by Anna, with the last session of each day devoted to Yin Yoga practice, and two sessions with Tim, looking at Alexander Technique, fundamentals of movement and coordination, and sequences of animal movements designed to facilitate healthy ranges of spinal movement. Tim and Anna teach together, and assist in each other’s sessions.
No great level of expertise or experience is expected, yet teachers of either discipline who may be curious about the other, or who seek to be held in space that offers subtlety and nuance, are very welcome.
