Blended Roots ~ The Retreat ~ 16th - 19th January
In collaboration with Jax Bull. We are so excited to invite you to join us at our soul-nourishing retreat for women* of dual/ mixed heritage. We welcome you to a space where the stories of our rich and diverse backgrounds intersect, creating a sense of connection and belonging with others who have walked a similar path.
For many of us of dual heritage/ mixed race women, navigating complex identities has been challenging, often leaving us feeling that we are 'walking the edges'.
During our retreat we will offer a sanctuary where you will experience what it is to be in a majority, where your life experiences are not only validated but celebrated. If you have ever sat in a circle as part of a majority you will know how soothing it can be to your nervous system, for Jax and I it has been one of the greatest gifts ever.
Surrounded by other dual heritage/ mixed race women, you'll have the opportunity to share experiences and challenges uniquely understood by those with similar backgrounds. We will explore, honour and celebrate our cultural roots. This is the place where you are seen in 'just the right amount of you'.
This retreat offers a supportive and nourishing environment where you'll leave feeling stronger and more confident with a whole new community of women walking by your side.
Limited to just 12 women(*). We extend our warm welcome to women from the queer, non-binary, and trans community.
We can't wait to welcome you. Please take your time to have a read of the magic we are creating for you and enjoy the photos (it's even more beautiful in real life!)
THE VENUE
Nestled amongst 18 acres of stunning countryside in Dorset, the Haven offers the perfect setting to connect, rest and replenish during our luxury 5 star retreat.
The Haven is a private country estate offering luxurious bedrooms, living and dining spaces, a cinema room, natural heated swimming pool, and treatment room.
Outside enjoy the rolling hills of the Jurassic coast. A truly idyllic location to spend a long weekend amongst those with 'Blended Roots'.
THE EXPERIENCE
A sacred space where ritual meets ceremony to create a magical experience just for you. Within the embrace of community, we will gather in Circle to enjoy into the restorative practices of Yoga Nidra and Breathwork.
Embodied movement, music and dance become our liberation, our expression and our JOY!
Evenings will invite us to come together around the mesmerising fire pit or in the comfort of the cosy lounge to share stories, sing songs, and laugh under the stars.
Saturday night is our surprise and gift to you - we can't share anymore than that just yet, but it promises to be extra special!
SLEEP
Experience pure luxury with a variety of unique, beautifully designed rooms to choose from. Each room is equipped with Egyptian cotton sheets, memory foam pillows, and mattresses for maximum comfort and relaxation. Enjoy the convenience of en-suite bathrooms, complete with your choice of rainfall showers, baths, or a combination of both.
All rooms are spacious and shared with one other.
Take in stunning views of the Dorset rolling countryside and sea, right from the comfort of your room.
FEAST
One of the highlights of your retreat will be the incredible food prepared by Djamila from 'Feasts Done Good'. Djamila's passion for creating nutritious and delicious dishes shines through in every meal she prepares. She creates with her own 'Blended Roots' in mind using only the freshest, natural ingredients to nourish you from the inside out. This is Soul Food.
All meals are vegetarian/vegan ~ other dietary requirements or allergies can be catered for.
WHO ARE WE?
We are Tanya and Jax, the visionaries behind 'Our Blended Roots,' a community born from our shared journey of healing and connection.
We walk with the rhythm of one black and one white parent and our shared experience of what it is to exist in a body of 'both'.
From early on we were united by a deep sense of purpose and a calling to co-create and curate sanctuaries of love for others with similar stories to ours. We know firsthand the gift it is to find places where our stories intersect.
We draw upon our diverse skills in ceremony, ritual, rest, breath-work, circle facilitation and dance, where, 'blended' stories are honoured, wounds are healed, and our 'both-ness' is celebrated. We are magic and so are you.
