Melt is a retreat that feels like a special moment in time.
Melt is a retreat that feels like a special moment in time.
It’s five days at the end of the year where women come together to work on themselves, but also to rest, have fun, and properly hunker down.
Woven in-between the deep somatic workshops, is space for cosy fires, long chats on the sofa, sauna time, walks in nature, endless cups of tea, and quiet time to drop the mental load so you can rest. The rhythm of the days allows your nervous system to genuinely restore while still being invited into depth and transformation. There’s a sense of togetherness at Melt that feels both rare and deeply healing. The blend of nervous system rest, female connection, and meaningful somatic work over the five days creates something truly special. Each day is an invitation to connect and come back to your Womanness.
It’s an experience that stays with you long after it ends.
The time together is designed to help awaken your inner wild woman.
The themes and workshops have been designed using my own journey, thing’s I’ve learned from the 100s of hours I’ve spent working with women and meaningful chapters from the book ‘Women Who Run with the Wolves’. All this combined creates a space where we truly start to reclaim and rejoice in our true feminine power.
During the retreat, we have 3 key themes, each theme is linked to the innate power of the feminine. Love and Shadow, Letting Go & Initiation, Sacred Sexuality & Righteous Power.
Whether you are new or seasoned to this work, all is welcome! This work will meet you exactly where you’re at.
Plus it's an all-inclusive retreat meaning you pay the amount, turn up and relax into it. I've got everything else covered to ensure you get five days to put yourself first, rest, nourish and reconnect back to yourself.
“I’m finding it hard to even put into words how special last week was. It took me on an invaluable journey that’s really hard to describe. It helped me feel things I needed to feel, have compassion for myself but also other’s. The space she creates is so safe, like a warm bubble” Carla

You want nervous system nourishment alongside meaningful depth.

You want to end the year feeling more rooted, connected, and resourced.
You want some intentional time to come inward.
You resonate with what I teach and your feeling called to spend some time working with me, exploring these beautiful themes.
“The retreat really was everything I expected in terms of the workshops, themes etc and feeling safe and held in the hands of Lydia as a practitioner.
However the depth of experiences, connection as a group of women and the ultimate recharge I felt as a result of the retreat was beyond my expectations!”
Sam
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for another week that has helped heal my heart in ways you have no idea! At these retreat’s I learn so much about myself and women.
Once again this has been healing in profound ways so thank you, thank you, thank you”

MELT is a deep and nourishing space, but it won’t be right for everyone.
This retreat may not be for you if:
You’re looking for a fast-paced, high-energy experience
You’re wanting a rigid schedule or constant activity
You’re not open to slowing down or being with your inner experience
You want a big cathartic experience or intense emotional release everyday
MELT is about presence, nervous system restoration, safe edges, honouring your sacred yes & no and embodied connection.
The invitation is to move at the pace of the body, not the mind.
MELT is facilitated with care, consent, and deep respect for the body.
Throughout the retreat:
You are always invited to explore your safe edges, never pushed.
Choice and autonomy are honoured at all times.
There is no expectation to share, perform, or go beyond your capacity.
You are encouraged to listen to your body and take space when needed.
The work is gentle yet deep, grounded, and paced to support safety and integration.
What arises is met with compassion, presence, and containment.
“5 day’s felt like years worth of therapy.
So powerful”
Katie
“What every woman is missing from their life!
Lydia holds such a gorgeous, human, open and vulnerable space for women to connect and share their vulnerability.
This retreat awakens your curiosity, your connection to yourself and others, and your divine feminine. I’ve learnt so much about myself in 5 days surrounded by other beautiful souls.
It has reignited my inner curiosity, joy and playfulness which helps the dark things inside feel that little bit lighter. Highly recommend”
Emma
“The sexuality day went far beyond anything I expected. I started the day feeling nervous, mostly fear of the unknown. But the space Lydia held, along with the trust we built as a group allowed every bit of that fear to melt away.
I assumed this day would be focused on things like sex or self-pleasure, but it was so, so much deeper than that. It was an invitation to explore sexuality through an entirely new lens. Awakening the sacred energy held in the pelvis, releasing shame and truly reclaiming my body was liberating in ways that are hard to put into words.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so alive”
Charlotte
“As someone with body confidence issues, I never thought I’d come away from the retreat accepting and celebrating my body the way I have done. I really want to take this appreciation for my own skin home with me and in to my future!
Please please do it. You will only benefit from such a beautiful experience, and you’ll meet women who expand your emotional horizons. You will come away with a full heart and a new perspective, and it will positively shape your life and your outlook. You deserve this” Georgia

Yes. MELT was created knowing that many women who come are feeling burnout or feeling some nervous system fatigue. The pace is slow, the structure is spacious, and rest is actively encouraged.

Due to the nature of retreat planning and venue commitments, all retreat bookings are non-refundable.
However, I understand that life can change unexpectedly. If something arises and you’re no longer able to attend, I will actively support you in finding someone to take your place. This may include sharing the space within my community or waitlist, where appropriate.
If your place is successfully filled, your payment can be transferred to the new participant. While I can’t guarantee that a replacement will be found, I’ll do my best to support the process with care and transparency.

The retreat includes somatic practices, breathwork, dance, bodywork, guided reflection, and moments of stillness, alongside time for rest, connection, nature, and integration. Nothing is forced or expected - the work is invitational and body-led.
