alchemy of self retreat
Two-day women’s empowerment retreat in Hampshire. Ritual, nature, self-reclamation, creative practices, & healing in a safe space.
A Soulful, Intimate Retreat
for Women Seeking Deep Personal Growth
In a world that constantly demands more from you, where do you go to reconnect, realign, and reclaim yourself?
Many retreat spaces feel overwhelming, too many people, too little space to truly breathe.
This is different
The Alchemy of Self Retreat is a small, intimate experience designed for just four women, ensuring you feel nurtured, seen, and held as you step into your personal transformation.
For two powerful days, you’ll be guided through practices that awaken self-worth, deepen confidence, and ignite your creative spark, without the pressure of navigating a large group.
Stay nearby or return home each night, giving you time for reflection in the way that feels right for you.
This is your invitation to step into a space
of renewal, self-discovery, & empowerment
It feels as if the container Tania creates sits outside of time and space, allowing you to step into a journey of self.
The space Tania holds is just beautiful. It’s a perfect cocoon where you feel so utterly authentic that you don’t hesitate to dissolve into yourself. It feels as if the container Tania creates sits outside of time and space, allowing you to step into a journey of self.
We have done so many activities, rituals and energy work. Plus, journaled, visualised, played in the woods, and created a nature mandala under the New Moon’s energy. So much has shifted for me.
I realised that the version of myself I thought existed was just a scrapbook of comments and reactions from others, one that isn’t accurate or true. And I also realised I have the power to throw that scrapbook away. I don’t need to live by that version of me; I can envision myself any way I please.

The Alchemy of Self is the art of turning life’s raw moments into pure gold. It is the sacred process of shedding what no longer serves, embracing what heals, & awakening to the power of our truest essence
This Is for You If…
✔️ You feel disconnected from yourself and long for deeper alignment.
✔️ You crave a supportive, nurturing space without the overwhelm of a large retreat.
✔️ You’re ready to set boundaries, honour your values, and step into your power.
✔️ You want real transformation, not just a temporary boost of inspiration.
A Sanctuary for Your Transformation
The Alchemy of Self Retreat takes place in The Alchemist Retreat, a cozy, nurturing sanctuary nestled in my home and private garden studio in the suburbs of Havant. This intimate setting ensures you feel held, supported, and free to be yourself as you embark on your journey of self-discovery.
A Sacred Space with Powerful Energy
Positioned on a ley line and surrounded by natural springs, this land carries a unique, restorative energy that deepens healing and transformation.
Honouring the Feminine Essence of Water
Havant is home to over twenty natural springs, each reflecting the grace and flow of the divine feminine. Water teaches us intuition, compassion, and creativity, guiding us back to our truest selves.
A Gentle, Four-Legged Companion
While he won’t be joining our sessions, my beloved dog lives here too. If you’re a dog lover, you may find his quiet presence adds an extra touch of warmth to your experience.
This is more than just a retreat,
it’s a sacred homecoming to yourself
One of the reasons I chose this space
is because I prefer a more intimate setting
“I’ve attended Tania’s workshops before and always loved the space she creates and how she makes me feel. This time, I wanted to deepen my experience, explore my blocks, and understand what was holding me back.
The retreat was incredible value, offering a perfect blend of deep, thought-provoking work and lighter, gentle exercises that allowed time to process. I felt truly supported and held throughout.
The journaling prompts encouraged deep reflection, and the silent counselling helped me release emotions that had surfaced. As a result, I slept well and woke up feeling much lighter, with a clear mind for the second day.
I’m leaving this retreat feeling grounded, empowered, and with a clear vision of my next steps.
One of the reasons I chose this space is because I prefer a more intimate setting, large group retreats don’t appeal to me as an introvert. This experience has been inspiring, empowering, and enlightening, and I feel ready for the next phase of my journey. “We have done so many activities, rituals and energy work. Plus, journaled, visualised, played in the woods, and created a nature mandala under the New Moon’s energy. So much has shifted for me.

I felt truly held, seen, and cared for
“I’ve always found it difficult to go through life unaffected by other people’s actions and emotions. Through this retreat of self-discovery, I’ve realised how deeply this is tied to my self-worth and perception of myself. It’s been incredible to uncover how these patterns were formed and begin to shift them.
Everything about this experience has been wonderful. The journal prompts, combined with the opportunity to share them out loud, felt deeply validating—giving my thoughts and emotions real weight. I no longer feel so alone.
The silent counselling was profoundly powerful, leading to some epic emotional releases. I feel lighter, like I’ve made space within myself to truly nurture my self-worth and integrate the techniques I’ve learned.
The activities were beautifully planned, perfectly balanced, and included time outdoors, which was so grounding. The physical space itself was warm, welcoming, and inviting.
Tania and Lee radiate such a calming presence, I felt truly held, seen, and cared for. The food was absolutely delicious, with plenty to eat, drink, and time to rest. Honestly, I would have paid double for this experience—it was such incredible value for everything we covered. I feel blessed to have been part of it.”

FAQ
What if I feel nervous about joining?
That’s natural. Most women arrive with butterflies. You don’t need to show up “ready” — just willing. From the moment you step into the circle, you’ll be held with compassion, and everything unfolds at your pace.
Do I need to share my personal story?
No. You’ll never be pushed to share more than you feel comfortable with. Some women speak, some don’t — both are valid. Transformation happens through the practices, rituals, and energy of the space, not performance.
Is this suitable if I’ve never done somatic or retreat work before?
Absolutely. You don’t need prior experience — just a willingness to explore. Every practice is guided step by step, trauma-informed, and gentle. You’ll be supported whether this is your first retreat or your fiftieth.
Will I leave feeling raw or drained?
The work can be powerful, but it’s never about ripping you open and leaving you exposed. You’ll be guided through safe release and then into grounding, integration, and nourishment. Women often leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected — not depleted.
What if I struggle with childcare, travel, or logistics?
I get it — life doesn’t pause just because you’re healing. This is a non-residential retreat, so you can stay nearby or return home each night, whatever works best for your family and commitments. If you’re worried about the details, reach out — we’ll help you make it doable.
What if I feel guilty spending money on myself?
Many women hesitate here, because we’ve been conditioned to put everyone else first. But investing in yourself ripples outward — into your family, your relationships, and your work. This isn’t indulgence, it’s reclamation. When you rise, everything around you shifts too.
What is provided at the retreat?
We provide all meals and refreshments throughout the retreat, including a light lunch, dinner, and plenty of nourishing snacks and drinks. Workshop materials, sacred tools for rituals, and all activities are included in the retreat price.
Is there parking available at the retreat?
Yes, there is parking available at The Alchemist Retreat for all attendees. Detailed directions and parking instructions will be sent upon booking.
Is the retreat accessible by public transport?

What should I bring?
Please bring comfortable clothing suitable for movement and relaxation.
For our woodland walk and any outdoor activities, we recommend sturdy, comfortable footwear suitable for walking in nature. Please keep in mind that the terrain can sometimes be muddy, so waterproof shoes or boots are ideal.
