The Day

Nourish & Create: A New Year Retreat

£98.00
Saturday, January 24th, 2026

Begin the new year feeling grounded, energised, and inspired. This intimate day retreat blends uplifting movement, mindful stillness, nourishing food, and the joy of hands-on creativity. With small group sizes (max 9 participants), you’ll enjoy a deeply personal experience designed to refresh body, mind, and spirit.

The Day

8:45 am — Arrival & Immune Booster

Arrive to the peaceful surroundings of Ash Farm and settle in with a warming immune-boosting drink to gently awaken your senses.

9:00 – 10:30 am — Movement with Katherine: Pilates + LBT
Begin with an hour of Pilates to stabilise, mobilise, and activate deep supporting muscles, improving alignment and easing into the day.
With the body warm and centred, transition into a 30-minute LBT session to build strength and heat through low-impact, accessible movements. A balanced, revitalising start suitable for all levels.

10:30 – 11:30 am —Nourish & Create: Build-Your-Own Lunch Jar

A relaxed, hands-on food demo where you’ll learn how to prepare a balanced, flavour-packed lunch jar to enjoy the next day. We’ll explore a simple, delicious dressing and layer it with fresh, vibrant ingredients for a nourishing meal on the go.

This interactive session is designed to inspire confident, mindful eating — showing you how easy it can be to build a wholesome, beautiful lunch in minutes.

11:30 am – 1:00 pm — Yoga & Mindfulness with Hilary

Slow down and soften into a grounding session with Hilary Westlake.
Move through a calming yoga practice designed to unwind the body, followed by a peaceful 30-minute mindfulness session to cultivate presence, clarity, and inner ease – the perfect way to engage and relax before lunch.

1:00 – 2:00 pm — Seasonal Buffet Lunch

Savour a beautiful plant-based lunch prepared by the Ash Farm kitchen.
A vibrant spread of mixed salads, homemade crackers, hummus varieties, olives, seasonal vegetables, marinated tofu, and wholesome sides — all served in a relaxed, communal style. Take your time and nourish yourself fully.

2:00 – 2:30 pm — Digestive Mindful Walk

Enjoy a gentle stroll along Ivy Chimney Lane, allowing the body to digest and the mind to settle. Mindful prompt cards are available for inspiration if you’d like them. Walk quietly or chat naturally — simply follow what feels good.

2:30 – 4:30 pm — 

Pebble Art Workshop: Relax, Create, Meditate

Unwind and tap into your creativity with a calming Pebble Art session. Over two hours, you’ll explore your own designs, experimenting with shapes, patterns, and colours on smooth pebbles as you let your thoughts unwind.

All materials — pens, paints, and inspiration ideas — are provided, so you can simply relax and enjoy the process. This workshop is a mindful, meditative activity, helping you slow down, focus, and express yourself in a playful, stress-free way.

By the end of the session, you’ll have your very own pebble creation to take home — a tangible reminder of your peaceful, restorative retreat experience.

4:30 pm — Closing Tea & Farewell

Return to the café for a grounding herbal tea and a small sweet treat. Leave feeling restored, inspired, and proud of the piece you created — ready to step into the new year with clarity and creativity.

Recent testimonials

Pebble snood

I now have 3 of Sian’s snoods and each one is a work of art. Each time I wear them people comment how beautiful they are and they are also supremely cosy. My newest is the petrol blue/orange pebble snood and it is gorgeous. Thank you so much Sian, I LOVE IT!

The recipients adored your teddies. As indeed I do. They are quirky unique and truly beautiful. I am just hoping that I will become a grandmother soon- an excuse to buy more! As it is – my sofas are graced with your stunning cushions- they will have to do for now 🙁

Thanks also for your speedy responses and lightning quick delivery- so professional. I would not hesitate recommending you and your wonderful work to one and all. Thanks Siân.

I first discovered Sian’s work at a craft festival a few months back in Cardiff where I purchased one of her pebble infinity scarfs that I absolutely fell in love with. More recently I bought a pair of her wrist warmers, which arrived today, and again are absolutely perfect. I love the style of Sian’s work which I find very unusual but also not too in your face, so it’s easy to pair anything she makes with any outfit! Sian sent me progress photos as she was making my gloves which I really appreciated and this added a very personal touch. Will definitely be buying more of her beautiful things in the future! Highly recommended X

Claudia D’orito

I’ve just bought another two strata snoods/ neck warmers which have become my must have gift for friends and family. I wear mine all the time. They are very practical and versatile, not to mention stylish and surprisingly warm. If you are out and about a lot you too will become addicted.

Kathryn Mcconachie, Cardiff

So beautifully soft and warm. Dangerous to visit the workshop though Sian as I now have a VERY long wish list
Thank you I’m delighted with my new jumper and scarf. Xxx

Sian Swales, Tenby

Hi Sian I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I was to receive your beautiful travel wrap in the mail a few weeks ago. It was a complete surprise as it was a gift from my sister Eleri. As I unwrapped it I fell in love with the colour, laver, and only realized the versatility of the piece as I tried it on. It is so soft and cosy and drapes beautifully. I’ve already worn it with my jeans and boots instead of a jacket and with a dress to a formal function. It’s my new favourite piece, I love it. Thankyou!

Catrin Prevost

I just received my beautiful aqua and navy poncho – thank you Sian! I’m absolutely thrilled with it. Beautifully made and so very soft. I may just have to order another one in a different colourway!!! Xx

Alexia English

Sian has made my beautiful contemporary cushions to match my gorgeous navy velvet sofas and I am absolutely thrilled with them. They add just the right sophisticated touch that I was looking for. Fab! Thank you so very much. I can’t wait to order more for the other sofa now xx

Caroline Williams

I bought some gorgeous cushions from Sian to go in our guest room. Her communication about the order was clear and quick, the cushions are such a beautiful design and the colours are just exactly what I wanted. They were even hand delivered and packaged beautifully. Thank you Sian!

Rose Wood, Cardigan

I Love the blanket I purchased from Sian. The combination of traditional Welsh design with the softness of the wool, is perfect for cold winter nights. Also so versatile as it compliments both traditional and contemporary living styles.

Caroline Edwards

Sian sells beautiful alpaca yarn and products from west wales. My purchase was smooth, communication excellent and delivery quick. I would recommend this company.

Caire Williams

I bought the most striking lampshade from Sian. it’s a real statement piece and I absolutely adore having this gorgeous creative piece of art in my home at a price I could actually afford. thank you Sian – until the next purchase.  x
