Reclaiming Lilith - The Sacred Feminine Astrology Workshop
In astrology, Lilith is the forbidden, outcast, scorned woman that lives within you. Lilith is a mythical archetype that has traversed so many cultures across the centuries, and in every story of Lilith she is known, celebrated and feared, for her defiance of the abiding order - the patriarchal and exploitative. In Lilith you will find the rawest expression of your power ready to be unlocked. Current patriarchal society (in all its forms of repression, division and exploitation) operates when our innate feminine power is shamed. Whatever the gender you identify as, the feminine power of Lilith can be understood as an archetype, a balancing yin energy that we all have buried within. This workshop is for everyone; male, female and beautiful non-conforming souls.
This Halloween, if you are looking for a thrill, instead of horror films and jump scares why don’t you find something truly terrifying… the most empowered version of you?
Learn the sign of your Lilith placement, it’s house placement, how it influences the rest of your birth chart and speaks to your greater purpose.
Join us online, Sunday 2nd November from 7pm to 8:30pm with a coven of other witches as we delve into your untapped magic.
Astrology Club with The Planet Body

This is a space for us all to gather and connect to the movements of the cosmos. Everyone is welcome from complete beginners to seasoned astrologers. Lauren shares her insights on recent astrological movements and what to expect from the coming month.

An in-depth analysis of current astrological events and planetary movements with Lauren.
Space to share your thoughts, feelings and recent experiences in a sharing circle.
Journalling prompts for reflection on the month past and prompts in preparation for the month ahead.
Light embodiment practices to support you in accessing your earth - planetary body connection.

Why an in person gathering?
Lauren is a somatic and embodiment practitioner as well as astrologer. She believes that astrology can and should be an embodied practice to be felt and experienced in our human bodies. She feels that there is no point in intellectually understanding the movements of the cosmos if you cannot apply this wisdom to your everyday life, in your human body. Also, in community we can grow and learn from each other and feel better fortified to ride the cycles and seasons of this life.
What to bring:
Curiosity, an open heart, a journal and pen, maybe some little snacks, and most importantly a respect for the power of the cosmos above.
Porthcawl - Astrology for Beginners
Join Lauren for this introductory workshop that will support you in understanding the basics of astrology: decoding the heavens above.
In the workshop you will receive learning resources and your personal birth chart (printed for you to keep).
From here we begin to uncover the wisdoms of astrology so you can better understand yourself, your past and the journey ahead.
We will learn how astrological energies are moving us all collectively through the sun, moon, planets, and stars. Uncover what you’ve always wondered about your life in love, family, work, spirituality, and friendship.
Winter Solstice Retreat with Lauren and Jen
Join Lauren and Jen for a moment of pause and nourishment in this festival period to honour the Winter Solstice.
Traditionally a time of stillness and solitude, the Winter Solstice commemorates the shortest day of the year and our collective journey towards lighter days. In this moment of darkness we are given the opportunity to come into rest and reflection. The Winter Solstice offers us a moment to sit in relationship with nature’s cycles and our own personal growth cycles to see all that we have journeyed and that which is yet to come.
In Chinese Medicine and the Teachings of Tantra, Winter is ruled by the water element: the most nourishing and essential substance for life. This element is the seeker of truth, willing to dive into the stillness to see what is being called for. It stores much of people’s reserves of energy. That’s why rest is crucial in the winter.
And under a Sagittarius New Moon we are held in the duality of fire and water, darkness and light. Called into our beliefs with an even greater conviction, we are being shown that it is sometimes necessary to meet the darkness before we can step forward into the light.
Why should I come?
Come and dive into you, for you and through you in to sense and feel what you are yearning for from the wisdom of the teachings of Astrology, Tantra and Chinese Medicine and the wisdom of your body. A place to BE and share with others and work with the energy of the Winter on the earth and the planets above to reconnect, restore and reflect on purposefulness, sense and being.
A day where you are always welcome exactly as you are, with whatever is there to authentically meet you.
A day to dive into the reminder of our innate cyclical nature and connect to the elements of the season.
Inclusive of somatic yoga movement, shamanic dance, yin, guided cacao ceremony, mantra, soundscape for deep presencing, embodied practices and journaling for intention setting with the energy of the. Underpinned by tantra and the teachings of Chinese medicine. Guided by the Sagittarius New Moon.
What will the day include?
- Cacao ceremony and light bites
- Sharing circle
- Astrology
- Somatic Ecstatic Dance, Embodied Yin and Tantric Yoga
Saturday 13th December, 2pm - 5pm

Waves of Peace - Yoga and Brunch
Join The Planet Body (Lauren Ellis-Stretch) and Susy Walsh Wellness, with brunch by plant-based chef Kelly Mason, for this half day retreat embodying the many aspects of 'peace' in honour of International Peace Day.
Through movement, connection and sound we'll seek to cultivate tranquillity, calm and balance within, with an intention of allowing this to ripple out to the collective. Together we'll hold space for unity and hope, within and without.

Then Lauren will get our bodies moving with a 'Shake the Dust!' practice, a cathartic, heart-expanding practice that blends yoga, pilates, body-weight movements and more, all set to an energising soundscape to uplift and inspire.
Then we'll flow into a deeply relaxing crystalline sound bath where we can allow our peaceful intentions to meet with sound waves and reverberate out into the universal consciousness for the benefit of all beings.
Whether you want to use this retreat to foster a more internal, personal sense of peace or whether you want to use your yoga practice to contribute to help ease suffering across our global community, this is space for you to show up as you are and just be, with no expectations. We hope you can join us!
