(We can pick you up from King Henry’s Drive tram station — just 40 minutes by train and tram from London Bridge.)
📅 WHEN: Starting at 11am on 27th February – Closing at 6pm on 1st March
Over the past retreats, we’ve explored the many faces of Love through astrology — discovering our love languages with Venus, our emotional needs through the Moon, and our healing journeys with Chiron. This February, we continue the journey with two powerful guides: Mars and Mercury — planets that shape how love moves through us when things feel tender, challenging, or real.
While the themes we explore are meaningful and sometimes deep, the way we travel is gentle, human, and joyful. This retreat is held in a spirit of warmth, friendship, and play — with space for laughter, delicious food, movement, rest, walks in nature, and celebration. We gather not to “fix” ourselves, but to explore and understand ourselves more kindly and lovingly, together.
To fall in love, again, with our wonderful selves.
Astrology for Real Relationships - Understanding You, Me, and How We All Get Along
There comes a moment when we realise that the love we’ve been searching for in others is the love we must first offer ourselves—the love waiting to be unveiled within. Love is not something to seek or chase; it is our nature. It is who we already are.
When love feels distant, it’s not because it’s missing—it’s because, without realising, we’ve built walls to protect ourselves. Walls made of past wounds, disappointments, fear, and the longing to feel safe. While they may have once shielded us from pain, over time, they also keep love out of reach.
Rumi’s wise words remind us:
"Your task is not to seek for love, but to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
And here’s the missing piece: once we find these barriers, we don’t have to fight them—we embrace them within our loving awareness. Love doesn’t ask us to battle ourselves, destroy our fears, or force our way through resistance. Love asks us to be present. To meet our wounds with kindness. To honour our needs without shame. To recognise that what once protected us may now be keeping us from the very thing we long for.
This is the real path to love. Not an outward search, but an inner unfolding. A softening. A remembering. A patient, gentle process of opening our hearts again until love—already within us—can flow freely once more.
Before we can receive the love we long for, we must first understand ourselves—how we love, where we block love, and how to let it in. But more than that, we must accept ourselves as we are, right here, right now, and learn to fall in love with what we discover.
It’s okay to have needs. It’s okay to take space. It’s essential to care for ourselves. And when we honour ourselves in this way, something shifts—we begin to call in relationships that reflect that same love back to us, relationships that truly nourish our hearts and souls.
How Astrology Guides This Process
Love is not just about finding the right person—it’s about becoming the right person, the most authentic version of ourselves. In this quest, astrology is an extremely powerful tool for self-realisation—a mirror that reflects the patterns and unconscious forces shaping our connections, our gifts, and our blind spots. It reveals not only how we love but why we love the way we do. It shows both our challenges and our highest potential, calling us toward healing and growth.
Our birth chart tells the story of where we’ve been and where our soul is called to go. In this unfolding journey, our relationships are never random—they are karmic encounters.
Instead of simply asking, “Will this relationship work?” astrology encourages us to ask, “How is this relationship helping me grow?”. Relationships are part of our personal evolution—each one serving as a mirror, reflecting where we are stuck and where we are ready to expand.
Astrology helps us answer essential questions about our love life:
💫 What are my core needs in relationships?
💫 Where do I sabotage myself?
💫 What qualities am I meant to develop in love?
From this lens, astrology doesn’t just show us who we are—it reveals why we are the way we are and what we need to do to grow. It helps us take accountability for our patterns while also offering hope, showing us how to move beyond old wounds and into more fulfilling relationships.
What this retreat is about
At its heart, this is still a Love (re)Treat.
It is about the path of love — love for yourself, for life, and for the people you meet along the way. And it is about understanding how love is lived not only through tenderness, but also through action, truth, desire, and choice.
In this retreat, we explore Love through Mars and Mercury.
Why Mars and Mercury?
Mars shows us how love acts.
How we assert ourselves, set boundaries, express desire, protect what matters, or pull away when we feel threatened.
Mercury shows us how love is understood and communicated.
How we make sense of our experience, how we speak and listen, how we name needs, repair misunderstandings, and bridge our inner and outer worlds.
Together, Mars and Mercury reveal how conflict, communication, and choice shape our relationships — and how moments of tension can become doorways to clarity, intimacy, and connection rather than distance.
We gently look at the inner dynamics often called the victim, perpetrator, and rescuer — not as heavy or shameful labels, but as learned responses that once helped us survive and protect love.
Through astrology, reflection, self-encounters and embodied practices, we explore:
how you meet conflict in relationships and within yourself
how your relationship to anger, power, boundaries, and desire has been shaped
how thought, language, and communication can soften or escalate tension
how to distinguish real experiences of harm from limiting inner patterns that keep repeating
how to move from automatic reactions to conscious, heart-led choices
Conflict, communication, and choice are not separate from love — they are love in motion.
How we’ll journey
Our days are woven from many textures, creating a sense of ease, safety, and belonging:
Applied astrology and personal chart exploration
gentle yoga, breathwork, and meditation
movement, play, celebration and embodied inquiry
walks in nature, shared meals, rest, and downtime
optional self-encounters (through Franz Ruppert's IoPT method) for deeper inner exploration of unconscious dynamics
There is time to dance, to be still, to laugh, and simply to be together.
This retreat is as much about feeling held, nourished, and connected as it is about insight.
Why this retreat?
So many of us repeat unconscious love patterns, shaped by our past, our wounds, and even our karma. Astrology reveals the truth of your heart—your deepest love needs, your fears, and the lessons your soul is learning through relationships.
💖 What if you could break free from old patterns?
💖 What if self-love became your foundation?
💖 What if love wasn’t just something you waited for—but something you created?
This retreat will guide you back to yourself, using your natal chart as a map, yoga as a healer, meditation as the bridge to your soul and movement as a catalyst.
Retreat highlights
🔮 ASTROLOGY WORKSHOPS – Explore Mars and Mercury in your natal chart to understand how you act, react, communicate, and choose in moments of love and conflict. Discover your unique inner warrior — how you assert yourself, set boundaries, express desire, and speak your truth. We’ll also look at the current transits, including the powerful Saturn–Neptune conjunction in early Aries, marking the beginning of a profound new collective cycle of action, responsibility, and inspired choice.
🧘 EMBODIED PRACTICES – Gentle yet energising yoga, breathwork, and somatic practices to help you feel Mars in the body — releasing stored tension, awakening vitality and courage.

🌿 NATURE WALK & GROUNDING - Slow down, reset, and reconnect — supporting integration.
😂 LAUGHTER, PLAY AND LIGHTNESS – Because healing and growth don’t have to be heavy. Through play and shared moments of joy, we soften defences, open the heart, and remember our shared humanity.
💃 CELEBRATION & DANCE – A heart-opening journey into the body, inviting Mars’ life force and desire to move freely through music, movement, and connection — integrating passion with presence and joy.
