Mabon: Air Element Retreat – Swansea

Earth Roots – Ostara Retreat
Anchoring into Body, Safety & Heart-Centred Leadership
Hosted by Ty Enfys Shamanic Activations & Shamanic Activations Academy Ltd
About the Event
The roots are calling. Will you listen?
As the wheel turns to Ostara, the Spring Equinox and celebration of Earth’s awakening—we gather to honour the element of Earth: the ground beneath our feet, the soil of belonging, and the roots of safety and strength.
This 3-day retreat is an invitation to root deeply into your body, restore nervous system balance, and awaken your natural leadership through connection with nature, ritual, and heart-centred practice.
Here, you’ll return to stillness. To safety. To the clarity of your own grounded presence.

🛏️ The Location – Down to Earth Project Residential Centre
Our retreats now take place at Down to Earth’s Little Bryn Gwyn, an eco-built roundhouse retreat centre set in the heart of the Gower Peninsula, one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of South Wales.
Built entirely from natural materials, this stunning circular space invites you to slow down and reconnect. Its timber beams, lime-plastered walls, and soft natural light create a calm, grounding atmosphere that holds ceremony, sound, and stillness beautifully.
The venue offers a spacious ceremonial hall, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, and plenty of outdoor space to wander, breathe, and reconnect with nature. There is ample parking on site for all guests, and the centre is easy to reach from Swansea and the surrounding area.
Accommodation is shared and community-focused, spread across nine bedrooms with 22 bed spaces in total:
Bedroom 1: 1 single bed
Bedroom 2: 2 single beds
Bedroom 3: 3 single beds
Bedroom 4: 1 double bed
Bedroom 5: 3 single beds
Bedroom 6: 1 double and 1 single bed
Bedroom 7: 1 double and 2 single beds
Bedroom 8: 3 single beds
Bedroom 9: 1 double bed
Tucked within rolling fields and open skies, Little Bryn Gwyn captures the essence of balance between earth and air, a place where ancient landscapes meet modern sustainability. Here, you can rest deeply, breathe fully, and rediscover what it means to feel at home in your body and the world.
🌍 This Is Your Invitation
To root.
To ground.
To belong.
To walk barefoot with Earth and remember your body’s wisdom.
You won’t float here.
You won’t burn here.
You’ll root.
You’ll forage.
You’ll breathe.
You’ll listen.
And maybe, just maybe, you’ll leave with your nervous system steadier, your heart braver, and your leadership more embodied.
