Womb of Dawn
Somerset, UK
6th-9th February 2026
currently open to join by invitation only
Womb of Dawn is a ceremonial retreat for women, held at the threshold between the depths of winter and the first embers of spring.
A timeless space of devotional listening – to the infinite waters of the Womb and to the eternal flame of the Heart.
This moment in the winter landscape is a turning point,
an invitation to re-attune to the frequency of creation.
Following a powerful year of shedding and release, this is the perfect time to attune to who you are becoming, and to listen to the unseen currents of desire that now yearn for expression, as spring awakens and a powerful new cycle begins.
Not only is this a seasonal shift from winter to spring, but a total paradigm shift — 2026 is a year that holds the frequency of beginnings, courage and treading new paths… so we too must evolve with this shift.
Creating space for newness, and seeding dreams to come.
Womb of Dawn is how we mark this new beginning in ceremony, in devotion, in the knowing that we are so supported even in the liminal spaces in between. Remembering the entire co-creation of existence.
Together we meet this sacred threshold, holding the wisdom of transformation in our hearts, and preparing the soil for beginnings to take root.
Womb of Dawn is held on 36 acres of wild Somerset land, in a recently renovated Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse.
A weekend of ceremony, presence, ritual, and sisterhood.
|| Essence of Womb of Dawn
This weekend retreat is a ceremony in itself, guided by both lunar and solar forces to invoke harmony, rebirth, and inner transformation.
Our journey begins under the soft, airy presence of a Libra moon, inviting balance, beauty, and gentle attunement for our landing on late Friday afternoon.
We then move into the potent waters of the Scorpio moon for the rest of the weekend — a deeply feminine, alchemical energy that mirrors the depth of the womb, the mysteries of descent, and the transformative flames held within.
A slow, mystical journey — an initiation into your own dawn.
Energetically, these days sit at a profound threshold.
We gather at the very end of the Lunar Year — a period traditionally devoted to clearing and preparing for renewal. We are also approaching the Mayan Days Out of Time, a mystical passage where time is said to dissolve, inviting us to release residue from the old cycle.
In the Celtic wheel, this moment is Imbolc: the quickening beneath the earth, the hidden flame rising, the first light of dawn after a long winter night. The sun itself sits at a cross-quarter point — halfway between Solstice and Equinox — marking an ancient turning toward the light.
Across many traditions, this window is known as a time of purification, visioning, and awakening.
The sap begins to rise.
The inner flame brightens.
Something stirs in the dark and moves toward life again.
This is the energetic field in which Womb of Dawn unfolds.
A space to release the old cycle, to tend the inner waters, to rekindle the heart-fire, and to step softly into the new emerging light.
|| The Wider Energetic Landscape
|| The Flow
A ceremonial journey from dusk to dawn — from the final embers of one cycle into the first light of the next.
Friday — Dusk Descending
A settling of breath and body as we open the space together — attuning to harmony, listening, and the quiet weaving of sisterhood. An evening of circle, ceremony, and fire-lit sound to ease us across the threshold.
Saturday — Sacred Waters
Meeting the gifts of the dark, the alchemical portal of the womb.
A yin descent into the depths of Self, honoring the gifts of winter.
Release, purification, and womb-centred remembering.

Embodied yin / movement, time in nature, water ritual, deep nourishment, 13th Munay Ki Womb Rite (healing transmission) — a day devoted to softness, surrender, and the healing currents that move through the cyclical nature of the feminine body. Attunement to the frequency of creation.
Sunday — Inner Fire
A day of awakening the dream within.
The fire held in Scorpio’s depths rises through breath, movement, and the pulsation of desire.

Our ceremonial weekend is held in a lovingly restored Grade II listed, 17th-century farmhouse, surrounded by 36 acres of wild land in the heart-field of Glastonbury, Somerset.
Privately owned by two artists, the home carries a soulful, creative, and mystical character — a truly exquisite, unique and one-of-a-kind sanctuary for our time together.
The frequency of the land and the house are so creative and so aligned to our re-attunement to the energy of creation.
