This is the second year running of Silence of the Heart, a very special day retreat that grows and expands with each time it is held. As two mystics, Nina and Jess felt inspired to create a space to honour the most precious jewel on one of the most sacred days of the year, Spring Equinox — an invitation to come together at the altar of the Heart. To dive into deep connection and devotion to this sacred space/site within. To learn to understand its language. Honouring the holy-ness of this space through silence and full embodied listening during a time of renewal, rebirth and fertility and what is being birthed through us. Rose and Cacao will accompany this opening and unfolding, facilitating sweet surrender and nourishment in our journey.
Sacred words, fire, poetry and sounds will also be one of the doorways through which we will dive/enter into the Silence of the Heart, and if silence is generous, there may be multiple sounds of music where we can dwell in love’s embrace.
Please note: Cacao in a ceremonial dose isn’t suitable if you are allergic chocolate, caffeine sensitive or on SSRI’s. You are welcome to join us if this is you, simply let us know so we can adjust the dosage.

About your hosts —
Jess is an artist, mystic and lover who enjoys the simplicity and profoundness of when we gather. A devotee to the at-one-ment of the womb. A seeker of higher wisdom and ancient re membrance and cultivator of truth, harmony and oneness.
Nina is a creative, mystic and guide sharing practices of wild and ancient wisdom in recognition of the inner peace and harmony that lies within. She hosts regular sacred spaces and ceremonies in her beautiful home in South London, where this retreat will take place.
Jess and Nina met in 2019 with an instant recognition as though they had known each other in lifetimes before and are grateful to be carriers of this sacred work through their collective/dual mission. This will be the third edition of Silence of the Heart, following an experience beyond words that unfolded on February 3rd 2024.
