Your hosts:

This retreat is run by Kira from Moon and Mind, a professional wellbeing coach, positive psychology practitioner, tarot reader and wellness event facilitator with 15+ years experience of coordinating and hosting events and groups, and most recently a masters in applied positive psychology and coaching psychology. Kira is passionate about authenticity, equality, community, and nature, with a balanced approach of easy-going optimism, passion, experience, knowledge, and quite often, silliness. She is an avid cook also, with a recent instagram page called @thebrightonvegetarian, to share recipes and Brighton veggie restaurants. She will be your main point of call for the retreat.

She is assisted by the wonderful Jasmine Newsome-Stone - a yoga and movement facilitator of self-inquiry, here to guide you not just through a series of asanas but also on your path toward wholeness, toward a deeper understanding of yourself. Whilst teaching the physical practice of yoga, Jasmine ultimately wants you to walk away feeling empowered, with tools to help you live more curiously, compassionately and confidently through this world. In her sessions, you’ll find an embodied, inquisitive approach that encourages exploration rather than perfection. You won’t hear her telling you you’re “doing it wrong,” because Jasmine feels strongly that yoga is a practice of self-discovery, not a one-size-fits-all experience.

Charity donation:

The Farm also operates with a social mission, aiming to extend

its impact beyond retreat participants. While attendees benefit

individually, a portion of proceeds from each retreat supports

African Vision Malawi, a non-profit founded by my mother. This

charity supports orphans and vulnerable people in rural Malawi,

one of the world's most impoverished nations. Since 2005, African

Vision Malawi has been fostering health, education, and

self-sufficiency in the region. For further details, please visit the

website: www.africanvision.org.uk

The farm's retreat venue started with my wonderful brother Sam, who has worked tirelessly over the last few years to create something magical. Our parents bought the farm in the late 80's which has been a constant development, and a place of awe, wonder and freedom for us every year throughout our childhood and into our adulthood. It has been our family home every summer since then, and we now want to share the magic with you! Please check out Sam's website - www.retreattothefarm.co.uk for more information and also his fantastic retreats!
