Sauna Ritual

Whether you’re a seasoned sauna lover, or it’s your first time, this is a great opportunity for a guided deep sauna experience that focusses on connecting more to yourself and nature.

Expect a blend of traditional herbal sauna whisking with softened bundles of branches and modern embodied awareness practices for a relaxing and immersive sensory session.
• Guided sauna session
• Herbal steams and pirtis (leaf whisking)
• Optional self-guided swims to cool down

Embodiment coach and sauna master Emilie will take you through rounds of steamy sauna with options for a dip or a pause to cool down between. She’s excited to be offering this at the beautiful sauna at Vallis Farm, a place where people can truly be in the elements and embedded in nature.

Meet at 7.45pm to gather, land on the land and prepare to enter the sauna together at 8 for 60 minutes. Early booking recommended, limited spaces available.

“Emilie the sauna master took me through a whole hour and it was incredible. The best wellness experience I’ve ever had and I’ve done A LOT.” - Sasha Ford

Rest & Reset

Rest & Reset

Rest and Reset

Woman as we enter the womb of the wintering, let yourself be held in the most exquisite space.

Reclaim those parts of yourself you've buried in order to survive.

The woman who lies underneath the tired.

This day is offered as a reclamation of the self.

We all need spaces as women just to be, to feel, to come home to ourselves.

What we will do

Held on Friday 13th November at the beautiful Vallis Farm,.

10:30 we’ll start promptly with an opening circle around the dining table, with tea and introductions.

11:00 we have the incredible Natalia holding a breathwork session for 90minutes

11:30 –12:00 Integration with crystal bowl sound bath

12:00 - 13:00 Vallis Farm is providing lunch from their seasonal vegetable soup, artisan bread, refreshments and a sweet treat throughout the day.

Daniella will also have her archetype teas available to drink and purchase.

1pm-2:30pm Daniella will hold a womb journey, using the shruiti, the sacred sounds of the womb and drum, inviting women to journey into their own womb garden, clearing and purifying the pelvic bowl either with a yoni steam for those who want to or with visualisation.

14:30 - 14:45 integration

15:00 - 17:00 optional additional bolt-on swim and sauna for those who want to have more time for integration

The power of coming together as women and holding an intention for healing, clearing and reclaiming is amplified when we connect as one, to our hearts, our wombs and our soul. Inviting the truth of who we really are to come home, to take up space - this is how we reclaim her.

When a woman lights up, she inspires another to shine. Its Time. Join us

Daniella Carrozza

Daniella is the founder of La Luna Devi and a guide in feminine embodiment, cyclical living, and sacred mothering. Her work weaves together earth-based ritual, womb wisdom, and the remembrance of the Divine Feminine.

Daniella has held space for women for over 20 years as a herbalist, massage therapist and shamanic womb massage therapist. Holding women's circles for the past 10years, she is devoted to helping women reconnect with their inner authority and intuitive knowing, and to restoring the lost threads of feminine initiation—particularly through rites of passage.​

As a mother of four, Daniella brings a deeply lived understanding of the complexity, beauty, and responsibility of raising children in these times. Daniella has been holding circles for girls for the past 4 years and has been a multidisciplinary holistic practitioner for over 20 years. In La Luna Girls, she holds gentle, grounded, and sacred spaces for the next generation of girls to feel seen, protected, and connected—to themselves, to the earth, and to the lineage of women who came before them.

Natalia

Natalia Goodheart is a conscious connected breathwork coach and energy healer based in Frome, Somerset. Her work isn't about fixing or teaching. It's about creating a space where people can remember who they already are, and she sees herself as a witness to the shifts that unfold. Drawing on the felt sense, the nervous system and the body's own intelligence, her breathwork sessions invite you to slow down, soften and listen inward. She works people 1-2-1, in person and online, and in community group settings. For this retreat, Natalia will guide a breathwork session on coming back to the self: a chance to arrive in your body, let go of what you've been carrying, and meet yourself with gentleness.

Morning Chorus Bird Walk with Rob Frith

Morning Chorus Bird Walk with Rob Frith

Morning Chorus Bird Walk with Rob Frith

Join us for a relaxed and informative morning at Vallis Farm, timed to coincide with the early bird activity without the pre-dawn start.

We’ll meet at 7:30am at the farmhouse entrance. After a hot drink to get us going, we’ll head out on a guided walk around the farm with ecologist and bird expert Rob Frith, exploring the land and listening to the morning chorus as it builds.

Rob will help us identify the birds we hear (and hopefully see), explain what’s happening ecologically at this time of year, and share insights into how the farm supports wildlife. With a bit of luck, we may also spot barn owls that regularly hunt over the fields.

After the walk, we’ll return to the farmhouse for a cooked breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients, including eggs from our rescue hens. We’ll eat together around the table, with time to ask Rob questions and chat more broadly about birds, farming, and the wider landscape.

The morning will wrap up at 10:30, leaving you well fed, well informed and hopefully feeling a little more connected to the land around you.

This is one of two Morning Chorus Bird Walks on Friday 23rd April and Friday 14th May.

Cost: £30 per person

A thoughtful, unhurried way to start the day, for anyone curious about birds, ecology, and the rhythms of a working farm.

And why not extend your experience by spending the night in one of our Shepherd’s Huts?
