Summer Solstice Retreat
A Retreat for Radiance, Vitality and Nourishment
At the height of the year, when the sun pauses at its peak and the land is in full bloom, you’re invited to gather on the earth, in the yurt, by the sacred fire, and under the wide open sky for a nourishing Summer Solstice Retreat of ritual, rest, celebration, and connection.
Summer Solstice is a threshold.
A moment where light reaches its fullest expression.
A time to stand in your own fire, to receive the sun’s energy, and to remember the abundance already present in your life.
Together we’ll honour ancient midsummer traditions in a grounded, heart-led way, celebrate with kirtan and sacred sound, move and rest in equal measure, and root ourselves in gratitude and reciprocity with the land.

Embracing the essence of Summer
In summer, life is abundant. Flowers open fully. The days are long and golden.
And something within us is invited to expand into fullness too.
This retreat offers space to soak up, store up, and stabilise the energy of the sun — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — so that it can nourish you through the rest of the year and into the darker months ahead.
Let the warmth of the sun, the crackle of the sacred fire, and the rhythm of community remind you:
You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to shine.
You are allowed to rest in the fullness of what already is.
What to expect …
Yurt Life A bright, welcoming home base to land, gather, rest, and reconnect. The yurt will hold our group sessions, sound journeys, sharing circles, and quiet integration time, while the land itself becomes our wider temple for celebration and ritual.
Embodied Movement and Dancing under the Sun
Through playful movement, gentle embodiment, and free dancing on the land, we’ll let the body express the joy, freedom, and aliveness of midsummer.
Kirtan and Sacred Song An uplifting kirtan devoted to the energy of the sun and the heart, held by Premanjali. Through voice, rhythm, and repetition, we’ll connect to joy, devotion, and collective harmony.
Sound Healing, Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra. Deep rest to balance the brightness. Spacious, restorative practices allow the nervous system to settle, integrate, and receive, held by Premanjali.
Solstice Sunrise & Sacred Fire Vigil We’ll rise early to greet the midsummer sunrise from the venus hill with a clear view of the horizon, joining countless others across the land doing the same. The night before, we gather in vigil around the sacred fire for singing, storytelling, silence, and shared presence as we tend the flames together and honour the turning of the sun.
Creating the Solstice Altar Together we’ll create a living altar that grows over the days with flowers, yellow candles, and sun-associated symbols. You’ll contribute to a shared space honouring abundance and nature.
Nature Connection A barefoot, sensory nature connection experience to slow down, listen, and reconnect with the living land through presence and gratitude.
Systematic Constellation with Kathi A guided constellation process exploring what may be in the way of fully stepping into your vitality, confidence, and inner fire energy — and gently releasing what no longer serves.
The Sauna Experience Be bathed in nourishment with our wood-fired sauna ritual, complete with body scrubs, veniks (birch or oak leaf bundles), and optional cold plunges.
Nourishing Food Enjoy wholesome, seasonal meals prepared with love, featuring produce from the Leela Gardens and our local organic farm, Goldhills.
Holding space is …
Louise
Louise lives at Leela and supports people to reconnect with their true, authentic, and lovable selves. A transformational coach and mindful living guide, she brings warmth, embodiment, and creativity to her offerings. Rooted in a deep love of the natural world, she weaves ritual, circle, and manifestation into her work, creating spaces that honour both depth and lightness. She loves to work in tune with the cycles of nature, crafting rituals and experiences that nurture both presence and joy.
Kathi
Kathi will be offering constellation work during the retreat, supporting participants to explore and release what stands in the way of stepping fully into their fire energy. (Full bio to come.)
Premanjali
Elise & Charlie Premanjali are a husband-and-wife duo from the UK, devoted to sharing sacred music rooted in devotion and connection. The name Premanjali means “an offering of divine love,” reflecting the intention behind all they create and share. Blending Elise’s vocals, guitar and harmonium with Charlie’s melodic hang drum and uplifting percussion, their sound weaves together ancient mantras and original English lyrics. They offer kirtan concerts worldwide that are both contemporary and timeless, where each song unfolds as a musical prayer, creating a deeply immersive and heart-opening experience. Their music invites inner stillness, joy, and a deep sense of connection — awakening the spiritual heart through sacred sound.
Can You Gift Yourself This Moment of Fullness?
Come and stand in the sun.
Come and rest in the abundance already here.
Come and sing, move, sweat, pray, laugh, and be nourished by land and community.
Together we’ll celebrate the Summer Solstice — honouring the peak of the sun’s power, burning away what’s in the way, and setting intentions for the season ahead rooted in patience, nourishment, and trust.
