REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS RETREATS 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"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.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"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).“

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"The whole experience was wonderful. Relaxing, inclusive and welcoming"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"As a naturally introverted person, attending these types of events alone always brings a bit of anxiety with them. The way Maddy structured the day and also the pre-event communications and conversations made me feel like I was walking into a room with loads of friends."

 

ABOUT YOUR HOSTS 

MADELEINE - FOUNDER OF HOOF & PAW, HEALER, CANDLE MAKER, RETREAT AND CIRCLE FACILITATOR 


With a lifelong, unique talent for weaving together the creative and the spiritual, it is no surprise these two worlds met in the form of candles! For the last 8 years, Madeleine has truly perfected the art of creating beautiful, high-quality candles, that not only smell great, but hold specific energy, released when the candle is lit. In 2024, Hoof & Paw Women’s Circles began, still integrating the creative and spiritual, but introducing a new layer, CONNECTION. Madeleine has a gift for creating safe, supportive spaces that foster authentic and honest connection, whether that be inside her Women’s Circles, on her Retreats or inside her private WhatsApp Community.

Kate Cheer, founder of Star Alchemy, created her approach through her own journey of balancing business and family life, which eventually led to burnout and a need for a more sustainable way of living. This turning point took her across Thailand, Bali, New Zealand and Australia, where she explored movement, meditation, breathwork and natural healing, reconnecting with her body and restoring her energy. Today, her work is calm, grounded and accessible, guiding others back to balance through gentle awareness and small, meaningful shifts.

Relaxing and wholesome day

After going through a stressful time the retreat day was just what I needed. It felt like a very safe and welcoming space, a great mix of relaxing in the beautiful sunny grounds enjoying the food and tea and also meditating, getting creative and a tarot reading that was spot on for me.

I really enjoyed the day and had the first restful nap and good night sleep I’d had in a long time - thank you ☺️🌸💕

Amazing, relaxing and reflective

Love attending Maddie’s retreats its such a safe space to be in. Maddie facilitates these spaces with kindness enabling each person present to explore and reflect at their own pace. I have really benefited in having the space to experience life through a different lens and this has lead to true reflection and curiosity about my needs and my pathway. I feel much more grounded, positive and forward looking at the end of the day, whilst also feeling very chilled, always guaranteed a good nights sleep after too

Wow what a lovely day!!

The whole day of the retreat in March was absolutely fabulous!
I attended it as a birthday treat with my daughter and what a lovely way to celebrate 😍
I must say the venue was also gorgeous you couldn’t have held it anywhere prettier.
The food was excellent with so many choices available we were definitely well looked after.
The day seemed so relaxed but very fulfilling with such lovely things to do like the flower pot painting and seed sowing so we could return home to see results springing to life from our day!
The tarot reading was spot on for me from Natalie so thank you so much.
The circle and meditation was so healing and lovely I can’t wait to do more with your Madeleine!
A truly wonderful day with wonderful people who were all so kind and friendly 💕

The Perfect Spring Equinox Retreat

I attended the Spring Equinox retreat in March and it was the most wonderful experience. First of all the venue was beautiful and we were lucky to be blessed with sunshine all day, the catering was also fantastic with lots of options and plenty to go around (Not a soggy sandwich in sight!)

Moving on to the retreat itself, Maddie had organised it so well that the whole day could not have been more perfect and it felt like it was over way too fast, even though it was 6 hours long!
We painted, planted, set our intentions, ate and chatted. Then there was the added bonus of having 1-2-1 tarot readings with Natalie (who is AMAZING!) which was fascinating.

I left feeling so uplifted and ready for the new season, with the biggest smile on my face.
I will be recommending H&P to everyone and will definitely plan to come along to another one!
