October 6th-12th 2022
So many of us have had our lives turned upside down in the past two years. We've been forced to loosen our grip on what we thought was a given: routines, relationships, resources and much more. We've questioned what's really important to us, what we really need to thrive and live a life of meaning and fulfilment.
Whilst this may have been a challenging time (to say the least!) we're also ready to live again. Really live. We see this upheaval as an opportunity to reset, recharge and restart our lives from a more authentic, more meaningful place.
We are ready to relight our soulfire.
Are you?
During our time together, you will have the time, space and guidance to go inward and locate that spark you may have felt has been missing in recent months- or even years. In our beautiful, warm cocoon in Madeira, you will be supported with a small group of likeminded soul seekers, and receive intuitive coaching from Thea Anderson, and cosmic insights from Cat Rose.
With energy restored, enthusiasm regained and your soulfire blazing, you will be ready to return home and live the life you've been meaning to live.
The Island…
The Portuguese island of Madeira is a stunning green gem in the North Atlantic Ocean. Only 300 miles from Africa, it boasts a subtropical climate all year round with the average daily temperature in October being a very pleasant 22 C (75 F) with an ocean temperature of 23C (great for a dip!). It has dramatic and rugged mountainous scenery, beautiful pebbly beaches, botanical gardens and plenty of art & culture.
You will be staying in Camara de Lobos, a pretty fishing village backed by cliffs, just metres from the sea and 5 km from Funchal, the island’s harbourside capital full of culture & great food.
Why Madeira?
In 2022, we came to Madeira as our first trip away from the UK in two (long) years & fell in love with the island. The island proved to be a restorative haven for both of us, and was where we realised our combined gifts, plus thus magical setting, could be the perfect way to help others to find - at least in part - what was lost during the pandemic. Immediately we got to work on creating what we feel is the perfect retreat for those who are feeling ready to turn the experiences of the past few years into the kindling of their soulfire.

You do not need to have any pre-existing astrology knowledge though to enjoy this retreat.

Where you’ll stay
You’ll be staying in a stylish private villa with swimming pool located in the picturesque fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, only 150 metres from the sea, beach, cafes & restaurants. There are tropical fruit trees, aromatic herbs and lush vegetation in the garden to relax & unwind in.
Twin rooms are shared with only one other and have a private bathroom (some photos show some double beds which will be spilt into twin single beds).
Enjoy breakfast and one other meal (we will go out for lunch or dinner each day*) so you can experience the delicious local cuisine each day.
Enjoy a wonderful mix of inspiring group time and free time to play, relax and explore the island!
* Allow a little budget for this.

What is your soul fire?
It’s that spark of authentic ‘you’-ness that you bring to the world. It gets you fired up & often lights up the lives of the lucky folk around you.
You’ve probably be taught, like most of us, to down play your worth & not step fully into your power. We also know that the reality of your actual life is complicated with real world responsibilities & a lot going on. Like all of us, you just feel tired some days.
So, this is an opportunity to STOP, really stop (go on let those shoulders drop), breathe in the salty sea air, get a new perspective (literally from the top of a mountain), soak in some sun and have inspiring conversations with lovely like minded others.
To reset, re-charge, rest & yes, relight that soul fire in stylish beauty on a magical island.
Each day, we’ll be guiding you on a journey inwards—to take stock & remember who you are & want to be & bring to your life. We’ll connect you with your amazing soul essence, your unique astrological make up so you receive a big boost of confidence through care, reflection about your lovely self (a self that’s been SO busy doing your life lately) and feel more faith in your path forward in life or perhaps find a new one. You’ll get answers, insights, spiritual support, space to process, emotional empathy and well….a big burst of nourishment for YOU.
No one can keep those wheels spinning without a dose of LOVE in the tank…self love, love from a special island and from us!
Through play, purposeful coaching exercises, peaceful spaces, astrological insight, soul meditations, scrummy food & magical sights let us take you home to yourself & make down to earth plans for your life on the other side of the retreat, that feel truly aligned with who you are.
You have a purpose on this planet. Let us help you re-connect with it and the joy that’s possible in being your beautiful soul self.
We will be going on a powerful (& fun) journey together
We have come up for a soul fire theme for each day.
