12th April - Indian Head Massage with Stephanie Hughes

£50.00

Saturday 12th April 2025
9:45am-2:00pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.

Indian Head Massage is an ancient therapy, and it is still common for daughters, mothers and grandmothers to sit and practice this ancient therapy in India today.

It’s a hugely popular treatment in Stephanie’s home clinic, and the great news is that it is relatively easy to learn the basics!

Due to our fast-paced lifestyles, many of us carry tension in our back, neck, shoulders and head. This can lead to: tension headaches, migraines, jaw clenching, back ache, eye strain, and even IBS type symptoms.

Throughout this workshop, Stephanie will show you some of the techniques she uses during Indian Head Massage to help improve:

  • Circulation.

  • Promote relaxation.

  • Lower blood pressure.

  • Release tension and toxins so that you can share this therapy at home with your loved ones.

What's more, we will also touch upon self-massage and some acupressure points for your self-care toolbox for when you’re feeling stressed.

Participants will need to bring:

  • A large bath towel.

  • A medium sized towel.

  • A small cloth.

Oils and other materials will be provided.

This workshop will be hosted within our brand new and beautiful Conservatory space.

9th May - Finding Balance From Within with Emma Garland & Lucie Platt

£50.00

Friday 9th May
10am-2pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.

Mindfulness, movement, breath and relaxation.

Life can be a challenge and sometimes unexpectedly so. We often find ourselves balancing many things: work and life, happiness and stress, relationships and time.

Finding that balance is a skill in itself and finding that balance in ourselves is key to health, happiness and longevity.

Senior Yoga Teachers, Lucie and Emma, are bringing you this very special Retreat Day Away at the magical Walled Garden School; giving you the space and time to explore and find your balance from within.

Yoga allows us to gain a greater awareness of our bodies and most importantly our needs. At stressful times we can surrender these needs for the sake of time and others' needs and often push down our bodies' signs and symptoms for our own needs.

In this special Retreat Day, we'll explore various postures to listen to our bodies' needs; gaining a greater awareness of finding that balance between effort and peace.

Yoga is a fantastic tool for helping us understand and listen to what we actually need.

 
 
 

Timings

10am: Welcome and workshop begins

1pm: Lunch from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop

2pm: Time to say goodbye

All equipment, food and and drink throughout the day is provided.

About Emma’s Session

Emma's session will focus on more challenging postures; not necessarily in terms of advanced postures, but key foundational yoga postures and movements that require a little more focus and technique to exert a little more effort and energy. We'll move slowly and mindfully through these flowing postures and explore how our powerful breath can allow us to explore and find balance between effort and peace. This valuable skill can extend into life, providing an opportunity to tune in and listen to our body's needs, through every day life and for all the challenges life throws at us!

About Lucie’s Session

Join Lucie for an extended slow flow and Yin yoga session, designed to cultivate balance within both body and mind. This deeply nourishing practice invites you to move slowly before settling into longer-held postures, allowing the body to soften, release and find stillness. Through gentle stretches and mindful breathing, you'll create space to ground, restore and reconnect with yourself. This session will leave you feeling balanced, calm, nourished, and deeply connected; a perfect pause for reflection and renewal within your day.

The wildflowers of Hawarden Estate.

In amongst the stunning setting of the Hawarden estate, around the old castle, the old woods and the meadows are some wonderful wildflowers that call this area home. From the beautiful to the sublime we will explore the grounds to discover some of the best wildflowers that Hawarden has to offer.

From natives to aliens we will learn how to identify some of the commoner species as well as learn about their history, folklore and place in the eco-system. We will even take in a few of the interesting 'weeds' from the formal planting (but don't tell the gardener, he won't appreciate us looking at the more interesting 'weeds'!).

This event will be a gentle stroll around some of the more hidden parts of the estate with the aim to totally immerse ourselves in the pleasure of the summer wildflowers.

17th August - A Celebration of Summer Wildlife with David Winnard

£45.00

Sunday 17th August
10am - 1pm
Your ticket includes a breakfast pastry from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop.

Join us for a pleasant stroll through the grounds of the historic Hawarden Estate to encounter a variety of interesting wild species that call Hawarden home. From birds and insects to plants and mammals, we will seek out some of the wonderful wildlife of the summer months.

On this walk we will see how different species fit into the landscape and the overall ecosystem, from understanding how a single flower species can be host to a variety of insects and fungi, to looking for evidence of what birds have been breeding.

Whilst this walk does not focus on one particular group of wildlife, it allows us to follow nature’s lead; if we find an interesting butterfly we will look at that, if we see some signs of mammals, we will work out what they were, if we discover a new wildflower for the estate then we will appreciate that. We let nature dictate what we discover (with a little help and instruction from your friendly nature guide, David).

This is the kind of walk where you set off not knowing what you may discover and come back with an experience of seeing nature in all its glory, at a beautiful time of year, in a stunning setting.

£45.00

Sunday 31st August
10am - 1pm
Your ticket includes a breakfast pastry from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop.

The flowers, fruits and fungi of Hawarden Estate.

This is the perfect time of the year to get to grips with the edible, medicinal and poisonous plants found on the estate.

If you are new to foraging, or know a little bit, then this walk will be perfect for you as we discuss the dos and don’ts of foraging (including what the law is) as well as delving into identifying some of the commoner plants and maybe some fungi that are present in the hedgerows and woods.

Expect to be finding fruits like blackberries and apples and nuts like hazelnuts and sweet chestnut, among the huge variety of other plants that have so much folklore behind them (like Mugwort - a favourite of your nature guide, David).

Not only will we learn how to identify these species but also discuss ways of how to preserve them, whether that is drying them or doing something more involved like turning our finds in to liqueurs.

We will forage in some of the wilder parts of the estate as well as look around some of the more formal bits of garden - not for the cultivated plants, but for some of the more interesting ‘weeds’ which often have many uses (just don’t tell the gardeners we are looking at their ‘weeds’!).

You will leave feeling confident to find and pick your own foraged plants from the wild.

9:45am: Meet, greet, walk and breathe through The Walled Garden.

In this restorative day for yourself; and maybe friends or loved ones, we’ll start the day with a hot drink, before heading off for a walk around the beautiful Walled Garden. We’ll take a walk up to the Old Castle, where we’ll enjoy some various breath work techniques, designed to warm us up from the outside in; whilst enjoying the breathtaking rural views from the top of the of hill. It’s an opportunity to discuss old habits and perhaps plant seeds for new habits to grow.

11am: Move, breathe and flow.

We’ll head back to roll out our yoga mats indoors, in the new Conservatory space at The Walled Garden School, whilst still feeling connected with the natural world.

We’ll enjoy flowing movement to expand our bodies and hearts. When we expand and open our chest, we can fully feel our inner power within. Our posture is greatly improved and we can allow ourselves to feel the finer muscles within our bodies that may need to be awakened.

12:30pm: Relaxation

We’ll cosy up under thick wool blankets and hot water bottles and be guided through a deep relaxation for the ultimate experience in self-care. These are the tools you can use to take with you to create new habits and routines to help you find a more balanced nervous system.

1pm: Refuel

Lunch from the award-winning Hawarden Estate Farm Shop is included. We’ll round up our restorative day with a hearty, warming lunch to fuel our bodies and minds and chat with like-minded new friends.

2pm: Time to say goodbye

All equipment, food and and drink throughout the day is provided.

What to Expect

Reflect and Review
We’ll start with a guided Life Review exercise, helping you evaluate where you’re at and where you want to go. This reflective process will give you insights into what’s working well, where there may be gaps, and what areas of your life you’d like to focus on.

Set Meaningful Goals/ Intentions
You’ll have the opportunity to identify and set 1–3 impactful goals for 2025 (or more, if you feel inspired!). Whether these are personal, professional, or a mix of both, the focus will be on creating goals that truly resonate with you.

Clarity Techniques
Discover a powerful clarity technique designed to simplify your vision and help you focus on what you truly want in your life.

Practical Tips and Pitfalls
We’ll share tried-and-tested ‘top tips’ for achieving your goals and highlight common slip-ups to avoid, ensuring you’re set up for success right from the start.

Plan for Action
Finally, we’ll work together to create an actionable plan, breaking down at least one of your goals into achievable steps. This will leave you feeling motivated and ready to take your first steps toward success.

Why Attend?
This workshop isn’t just about setting goals for the year ahead - it’s about connecting with others, gaining practical tools, and leaving with a sense of clarity, empowerment, and purpose.

A Supportive Environment
This session is designed for women who want to start the year with intention and focus, regardless of where they’re currently at. You don’t need to have it all figured out - this workshop is a space for discovery, planning, and encouragement.

Take this opportunity to begin 2025 with clarity and confidence.
