Retreats & Workshops

I have been running various retreats and workshops for a number of years now in the UK, NZ, the USA and Europe. More recently I have concentrated on facilitating retreats from my studio space Aroha in Herefordshire, UK.

Women’s Nourishment Day Retreat - Sat 31st May 2025

A Day Retreat in the Heart of Herefordshire

Step away from the noise and into the stillness.

Join us for a soul-nourishing day retreat nestled in the rolling green hills of Herefordshire. Surrounded by nature’s quiet beauty, this is a space to slow down, reconnect, and come home to yourself.

We’ll begin with a meditative countryside walk, allowing nature’s rhythm to guide you into presence. Then ease into a heart-opening yoga flow and grounding meditation, gently softening the body and calming the mind.

A nourishing, wholesome lunch will be served to support your energy and well-being, followed by an afternoon of carefully curated workshops designed to deepen inner stillness, inspire reflection, and awaken the heart.

Whether you’re seeking rest, reconnection, or simply a day to breathe deeply in good company - this retreat is an invitation to return to what truly matters. It’s a day out of your busy schedule where you can take a much needed pause, learn something new and leave feeling inspired and rejuvenated.

Testimonials

"Be prepared for the magic carpet ride of your life!  However, working with Anne Loyd is no mere flight of fancy; through a series of exercises, meditations and visualisations, Annie will unlock the realms of your soul’s deepest desires and then give you the means by which to birth them into reality. Through a combination of compassion, tough love and many years of experience, Annie will walk side by side with you along the way. Blocks, resistance, avoidance and procrastination will all be addressed and by the end of the course, you will have a toolbox of techniques to enable you to continue your journey with mastery of your gifts as the Captain of your Ship and ultimately, the Director of your Life."

Annabel, Actress, UK

“Anne Loyd is a miracle worker. She carries out her work in a kind, humble, and gentle way, always speaking from her heart… which naturally enables you to do the same. Rather than explaining concepts in abstract and complicated terms, Anne teaches from her own experiences, and in turn creates a natural dialog with a feeling of mutual understanding and compassion.

Anne is determined to help everyone who seeks her guidance to reach their full potential. Simply being in her presence feels like being wrapped in a warm hug… and sometimes that’s all you need.”

Laura, Photographer, L.A

"I attended the beginners pendulum course with Annie. I had previously played around with a necklace getting a yes or no answer to questions but not really sure what I was doing. Since doing the 4 week beginner course, I now know using a pendulum is so much more. Clearing your pendulum, tapping into your divine energy and using the charts provided in the course is a powerful tool whether it be to answer your own questions, healing, health issues, decisions or balancing your energy,  The list is endless. It was such an enjoyable online  course with a lovely group of people. Love Annie's knowledge, her interaction, warmth and sense of fun in navigating the mystical pendulum. This was a great course for the novice...wanting to know more about the mystic entry of the pendulum”
