Autumnal Alchemy Activation

Join Aimèe & Tamara for a transforming & reflective retreat experience inspired by the seasons. Featuring a blend of nature’s elements and practices to guide you inwards and bring you home as we step into Autumn.

This retreat is right for you if you want to pause and create space to reflect on the journey to the present moment in the year and prepare your body and energy for stepping out of Summer into the Autumn and the start of the more inward months.

We’ll be gathering in nature, grounding, setting intention, tuning into the senses, pausing, reflecting and meditating with likeminded souls and enjoying the elements together to return to ourselves and charge our energetic batteries.

Held in a beautiful setting by two heartled sisters on their own healing journeys sharing the tools that are working for them! Come join us in the tranquil Wareham Forest for a day of renewal and harmony.

  • As part of our Autumnal Alchemy Activation retreat, we will immerse ourselves in the ancient Andean tradition of the Despacho ceremony, a sacred ritual of gratitude and intention-setting. We will begin our journey by wandering through the forest, collecting natural elements like leaves, flowers, seeds, and stones. These offerings represent our prayers, hopes, and connections to the Earth.

    During the ceremony, we will mindfully arrange our gathered items on a paper, creating a mandala that symbolizes the balance and harmony we seek in our lives. As we build our Despacho, we infuse it with our intentions, allowing the natural elements to carry our prayers to the spirits of the land.

    The Despacho ceremony is a powerful practice for aligning ourselves with the rhythms of nature and deepening our connection to the world around us. By participating, you'll experience a profound sense of peace, grounding, and renewal as you release old energies and invite new blessings into your life.

  • At our Autmn Alchemy Activation Retreat, we believe in nourishing body and mind with wholesome, plant-based foods. We prioritise the holistic well-being of our participants. Plant-based foods and abstaining from alcohol provide the essential nutrients and energy needed to fuel optimal performance and recovery, promoting endurance and vitality for our runners. So we partnered up with the incredible Kara who will provide us with delicious and nourishing plant-based snacks and dinner. You'll also get the chance to try living water provided by Aimée.

Meet your hosts

Host: Tamara - The MindFuelBody Coach

Accred. Hypnotherapist & Nutritionist & Ultra Run Coach

Hi, I'm Tamara - The MindFuelBody Coach

I'm an accredited Hypnotherapist, Nutritionist and UESCA certified Ultra Run Coach with over 5 years of experience in the field. As a passionate plant-based ultra trail runner myself, I specialise in empowering individuals to achieve their goals through a holistic approach that emphasises the importance of connecting with nature and the profound connection between the mind and body.

My holistic approach to health has taught me to awaken my inner alchemist. Through the grounding energy of trail running, the nourishing power of plant-based foods and the profound insights of hypnotherapy, I learned to connect with my true self and the natural world around me.

Working and running with all of nature’s elements - earth, air, fire and water - has helped me to unlock my full potential and transform to better version of myself. I aim to inspire others to discover their inner alchemist and support them on their transformative journey of self-discovery and growth with the help of connecting with nature.

Lots of love,

Tamara

Host: Aimèe Graham

Artist, Yoga Teacher, Sound Practitioner, Living Water Educator, Magic Maker

Hi I’m Aimée - I’m a creative through and through and believe I was born into this role as an Artist. I like to weave my creativity into everything I do and one of my missions is to ignite the creative in anyone I meet!

I’m all about expression and have explored this further since becoming a certified Yoga Teacher. Once upon a time feeling too ‘seen & not heard’ to show up in public spaces, to share myself, my voice or my story, I am now on a path of writing my own story that works FOR ME.

My yoga journey has empowered me to shift out of many of those comfort zones. Breaking into new versions of myself more fully, to inspire and empower others to do the same all whilst embracing our INperfectionism (a journey which continues for me if I’m being honest!)

I love feeling lit up by my mission and also to feel at peace, which for me is when I'm connected to nature. I'm happiest in the sun, amongst trees or in natural water sources!

Embracing my spiritual journey, I’ve recently been certified in Reiki 1 for continuing with my own self healing.

I’m all about Frequency and energy which led me to certify in becoming a Sound Practitioner, sharing the Ancient Tibetan Wisdom through Singing Bowls, both in sound baths, meditations and also Vibro Acoustic Massage.

In the last year and a half I’ve taken a pivot as I learn more about water than I ever thought possible! Bringing light to everything we’ve been told about this precious and sacred life source and the fact that we’ve been lied to about this beautiful element which is so much more powerful and life giving than we know.

This is now a big part of my mission. To share the truths about water, in a way that feels empowering to my people, to bring them truths that I wish I had learnt sooner.

Since this discovery I have built more trust with myself than ever before, invested more into myself than ever before and have started to heal myself in ways I’ve dreamed of for a very long time.

Without going into too much detail here, let’s just say by changing my water ALONE, I’ve completely cleared my body of 23 years of chronic ocular migraines!!

Finding out about the power of Living Water to help bring our bodies back into balance and homeostasis has been nothing short of LIFE CHANGING for me and I’m SO blessed, privileged and honoured to now help my people start to do the same.

I’m all about motivating people to look inwards to their own power and magic and am deep on my own journey of remembering true self and coming back to Sovereignty.

My business allows me to share the tools and practices that have been beneficial and life changing for me, my health, my growth, my communication and upleveling my abundance, as I choose not to be a gatekeeper and intend to ripple out the knowledge I have been fortunate enough to receive myself.

I am passionate about bringing people with me on my journey. The highs and the lows, in what has been a challenging and confronting ride of unravelling myself and rebuilding since a massive break up, break down and life reevaluation in 2020.

Perhaps naively thinking at the time that people and places could be ‘forever’ - couple that with the unravelling of the world as we knew it at that time - it certainly pushed me towards facing the resistance rather than avoiding change and has taught me boundaries, self respect, acceptance and the awareness of the power WE all have to rewrite our own stories whenever we need to for us to stand in our own integrity.

Integrity has now become one of my core values along with health, peace, trust, collaboration, community, sustainability, creativity, expression and freedom.

It has been a complete honour to meet Tamara and form such a strong bond with her with so much ease.

I am beyond excited to co-create events with this incredible and inspiring woman and I look forward to meeting and sharing magic with those of you who feel called to gather with us in the Forest.

Big Love,

Aimée x x

  • "I had the pleasure of experiencing hypnotherapy practice sessions with Tamara and I would highly recommend her. Her use of visualisations is extremely powerful and really encourages you to imagine your goals with a positive mindset. She always ensured that the hypnotherapeutic visualisations she used were tailored to me as an individual and she was completely open to suggestions and feedback if I felt like something wasn't working for me."

  • "Tamara is an excellent coach. She’s patient, reliable, flexible, and she’ll guide and help you to achieve even your most daring goals! She’s super friendly but effective.

  • “I highly recommend Tamara und her expertise. I was struggling with phases of low energy and fatigue, especially after workouts. I wondered if i could tackle this with an improved diet. I consulted Tamara and she sent me a detailed nutrition plan and guided me through, explaining why this could for work me, and gave me valuable tips on top I didn’t find anywhere else. I felt and feel so much better after adopting this new habits and nutrition improvements. Thank you so much for your support, positive energy and help! It was a game changer.”
