SUMMER SOLSTICE
The Summer Solstice, falling on the 21st of June this year, marks the longest day of the year—a time of abundance, light, and celebration. It’s a powerful turning point, inviting us to honor all we have grown and manifested over the past six months.
Our retreat takes place on the 29th of June, allowing us to connect with the Solstice energy in a more peaceful way. While Avebury is a deeply magical place during the Solstice, it is also incredibly busy. By gathering a week later, we can experience its' beautiful energy in a quieter, more intimate setting.
So come stand still with me, with us, in meditation, in the sun, in creative flow and take a moment for you. To honour and celebrate yourself. You deserve it ;)
This is currently a rough guide of what to expect on the day, more information will be revealed closer to the time as I work with the energies that come through.
Date: Sunday 29th June
Time: 10.30pm - 4.00pm

AVEBURY STONES & SILBURY HILL
Avebury is home to the largest stone circle in the world, a place steeped in ancient mysticism and powerful earth energies. Unlike Stonehenge, which is more structured and enclosed, Avebury welcomes us to walk alongside and touch the stones. I personally prefer the energy and feel of the Avebury stones. To me they hold a gentle but powerful feminine energy. Soft, nurturing and calming.
Believed to be over 4,000 years old, this sacred site is said to be the gateway to increased high vibrational universal energy. The placement of the stones run along the earth's energy grid lines, specifically, the Ley lines of St Michael and Mary (which also run through other sacred sites). The energy of the earth and power of the stones combined, create a beautiful portal of energy.
A magical place where the realms of fairies and dragons also reside.
Surrounding the stones is Silbury Hill—the largest prehistoric mound in Europe. Its' purpose still remains unknown but many call this the White Pyramid of Wiltshire. Dating back to around 2400 BCE, the same era the Egyptian Pyramids were thought to have been built.

ABOUT YOUR HOST, MADELEINE and REVIEWS
It's safe to say that looking back on my path so far, it was pretty clear I'd end up doing something in the spiritual realm. Weaving in my love of creativity (it's seems clear now I'm doing it, it's not always been so clear!). My love of art and being creative has flowed through me since a child, I graduated with a degree in textile design and followed on to manage art galleries, hosting various exhibitions and events. I loved it! I've also been consciously part of the spiritual world now for 20 years. Having dipped in and out over the years, I've always come back to it stronger each time.
The last 8 years I've been known for the creation of my candles. Candles which can hold specific energy and release that energy into our spaces when lit. I've been on a mission to create a ripple effect through the candles. Lighting us up and in turn lighting up others too.
My mission hasn't changed much, it's still very much at the core of why I do what I do. For a long while I've wanted to offer more and unsure of what that would look like, last year it all slotted into place. Energy work, reiki healing, clearing, rituals, journalling, creativity, crystals, candles, magic, mindset, higher realms and CONNECTION.
2024 was the year of connection. I began hosting monthly (sometimes bi-monthly) women's circles, a place of connection, support and empowerment. I've watched magic unfold amongst amazing women. The Summer Solstice will mark a year of hosting monthly women's circles. I feel so honoured to be able to create these spaces.
Last October I hosted my first retreat day with some incredible women (or should I say witches). What a day we had!
REVIEWS FROM THE AUTUMN DAY RETREAT
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Attending the Hoof and Paw retreat was more than I could have hoped for. Being my first retreat, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness going in, but from the moment I walked through the doors, I felt completely at ease. The setting was peaceful, and the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming—it instantly felt like a safe space to unwind and be myself. The meditation sessions were transformative. They led me to a level of calm and clarity I hadn’t experienced before, and I feel like I’ve discovered a new part of myself, maybe even a new calling. The food deserves a special mention. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared and tasted amazing. Including the homemade cakes and unlimited hot drinks and water. This retreat has left me feeling recharged and grateful. If you’re looking for a place to reconnect and find peace, I can’t recommend Madeline enough. Thank you for such a beautiful experience!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“A True Sense of Belonging. What I’ll remember most about the Hoof and Paw retreat is the deep comfort and sense of belonging I felt. From the moment I arrived, everything—from the setting and the warm atmosphere to the people and experiences—made me feel like I was exactly where I was meant to be. It’s rare to find a place where you can truly unwind and feel understood, but Madeline created that kind of space for me. I left feeling refreshed, connected, and grateful. For anyone seeking peace, healing, and a real sense of community, this retreat is a gift.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"That everything was so caringly and lovingly curated for us. Loved the open fire and our circle. Loved the meditation (would have liked a bit more). Lunch together around the table was special. The SPACE in our itinerary, lack of pressure (l learned the most from this. The luxury of quality time, less is more).“
