About the event
Come and spend a special day reconnecting with your body, your creativity and yourself.
Set within the beautiful surroundings of Chester House Estate, this warm and welcoming day retreat invites you to slow down, breathe, move and enjoy being fully present in your body.
Through gentle guided dance and movement, creative activities, nourishing food and moments of rest and connection, you’ll have the opportunity to explore movement in a way that feels good for you — with no experience of dance necessary.
Together, we’ll celebrate the wisdom and stories held within our bodies, discover new ways to express ourselves, and explore simple somatic movement practices that can help you feel more connected to your body and mind.
This is a day to move at your own pace, be curious, be creative and enjoy the pleasure of moving with others.
Come as you are. Leave feeling nourished, inspired and more deeply connected to yourself.
Your Day
Expect a gentle and varied blend of:
Guided dance and movement
Somatic and body-awareness practices
Creative exploration and self-expression
Time to rest, reflect and connect
Delicious, nourishing food and refreshments
A warm, supportive and welcoming atmosphere
Whether you already love to dance or simply want to discover new ways of moving, this retreat is an opportunity to explore what your body can do — without pressure, performance or expectation.
Led by Tina Heeley & Lucy Knight
The retreat will be facilitated by dance and movement practitioners Tina Heeley and Lucy Knight, two highly respected artists with extensive experience across the arts, health and therapeutic sectors.
Together, Tina and Lucy bring a unique combination of dance, movement, somatic practice and therapeutic expertise, creating an experience that is both joyful and deeply restorative.
Their approach is about meeting you where you are, inviting curiosity rather than judgement, and creating space for movement, connection and discovery.
