Casa Pachamama Retreats
Casa Pachamama is a sacred resting ground for those longing to reconnect — with themselves, with nature, and with something greater.
The land is more than just a field. It is a prayer, a practice, and a living invitation to return — to the Earth, to your body, to the truth within.
Tucked among the hedgerows of Somerset, our land holds a soft, spacious field where rest becomes possible and the inner voice can finally be heard.
We are a small, non-profit community rooted in three values:
🌱 Wellbeing of the individual
🌿 Wellbeing of the community
🌍 Wellbeing of the Earth
Our retreats grow from these values — quietly, gently, without fanfare. This is not a programme or a package. It is a place where you can come home to yourself.
A Place to Rest and Remember
Here, people are invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and listen inwardly.
There is no single path and no required way to “do it right.”
Your healing might come through silence, stillness, prayer, yoga, journaling, gardening, tears, laughter, or simply lying in the grass beneath a wide, forgiving sky. All of you is welcome.
We believe that healing begins with learning to listen to your true needs — without shame, without rushing, without apology.
Sometimes that listening sounds like:
“Do I need to rest or release? To be alone or held? To cry? To eat something nourishing? To sit with this ache I’ve been avoiding?”
Here, you are supported in exploring those questions with honesty and tenderness.
Let the Land Meet You Where You Are
Here, your emotions are not interruptions — they are invitations. Each feeling carries a certain energy, and the land offers a wholesome, grounded place for that energy to move.
There is always a task that matches the truth of the moment:
-
If you feel soft, loving, or peaceful, you might plant seedlings in gentle, tidy rows.
-
If you’re carrying anger or fire, you might clear a patch of weeds or dig earth with purpose and strength.
-
If you feel creative or inspired, you might build something simple and beautiful.
-
If you’re tender or fragile, you might water young plants, walk slowly through the orchard, or sit with a tree and breathe.
-
If you’re restless, you might gather wood, move compost, or help shape a new path.
Nothing is “wrong” here.
Every emotion has a place.
Every feeling can become part of the land’s healing — and your own.
How We Hold Space
Casa Pachamama retreats are held by Amanda — a guide who draws from yoga, Buddhist teachings, meditation, shadow work, energy healing, land-based spirituality, and deep intuitive presence. She offers a quiet, grounded field in which people can soften, unravel, and remember who they are.
Each retreat is shaped around you: your intentions, your rhythms, your truth.
About the Land
The land itself is a teacher — wild, imperfect, generous, and real.
Once a traditional farm, it now grows food, forest gardens, compost, birdsong, and human transformation.
This land is not a commodity.
It is kin.
And it meets you exactly as you are.
Here, healing doesn’t happen to you — it rises from within you, rooted in soil, season, breath, and presence.
What We Offer
We don’t offer fixes or formulas.
We offer space.
Time.
Soil.
Silence.
Fire.
Simple food.
A safe place to feel what is true.
Here, you don’t have to perform, produce, or pretend.
You can simply be — tender, tired, joyful, grieving, open, curious, or undone.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
Our Quiet Invitation
If you are seeking a deeper way to live — slower, more sacred, more connected — you are welcome to enquire gently about a retreat.
Come home to the Earth.
Come home to yourself.
Come home to what you truly need.

🌿 Your Journey with Us: A 4-Step Process
Every healing journey is unique — but here’s how we hold you through it.
At Casa Pachamama, we don’t offer rigid programmes or fixed paths. What we offer is space, presence, and a gentle structure that supports your own natural unfolding. Whether you come for deep transformation or quiet reflection, here’s what your stay may look like:
01
Welcome & Intention-Setting
“What do you truly need right now?”
Your journey begins with a grounding welcome ritual — a quiet cup of tea, a conversation, and time to explore your current needs. Together, we tune in to your body, heart, and spirit to co-create a rhythm for your stay. This might include practices like rest, movement, silence, land tending, or inner emotional work.
02
Your Personalised Rhythm
“Follow what feels true.”
We gently shape a daily flow that supports your intentions — offering a balance of rest, grounding activities, and soulful practices. This might begin with deep rest and slowing down, then move into grounding work (like barefoot gardening or meditative walks), followed by a phase of emotional exploration or shadow work, and finally a time of integration through gentle yoga, creativity, and connection with the land.
Rest is not optional here — it’s sacred.
You are encouraged to nap, pause, and move slowly as part of your healing.
03
The Journey Unfolds
“You’re not alone.”
#As you walk your path, we check in regularly — through short reflective conversations, or simply holding space when needed. You might spend time in nature, join gentle communal activities, or receive energy work or intuitive support. The land is always here for you, and so are we.
04
Closing & Reflection
“Take what you need, leave what you’re ready to let go of.”
Before you leave, we gather for a closing ceremony — a time to reflect, integrate, and honour what has shifted. You may share insights, offer gratitude, or simply sit in silence with the land. You leave not with a to-do list, but with tools, clarity, and a deeper sense of who you are.
🌸 A Note on the Journey
Each stay is different — and that’s the beauty.
Some people need sleep and solitude.
Others need deep tears, laughter, yoga, or firelight.
There’s no “right” way to heal — only your way.
We’re here to walk beside you, every step of the way.
Echoes of the Experience
“I came to rest, but I left with a whole new way of being. For the first time in years, I remembered what it feels like to be safe in my body, in my breath, in my own company.”
— Rosa, retreat guest
“Casa Pachamama didn’t change me. It helped me remember myself. The land held me while I cried, and the quiet support helped me find strength I forgot I had.”
— Liam, silent retreat guest
“I arrived burnt out and disconnected. I left grounded, clear, and so much more connected to the Earth, my needs, and my truth. I’ll never forget the barefoot mornings in the garden.”
— Sophie, self-guided retreat guest
“This place felt like medicine — not in a loud or dramatic way, but in the way nature heals you slowly when no one’s watching. I let go of something I’d been carrying for decades.”
— Dan, bespoke retreat guest
“It was the first time I was invited to ask: what do I really need? And then… to actually honour it. That changed everything.”
— Ella, camper
