The Call Day Retreat
Join Dr Ifey for a mystical day retreat created to help you answer your soul's call. We'll harness the power of plant wisdom, mythology, ritual and intuitive practice to help you uncover and connect with the meaningful work you're meant to do.
Date: Saturday October 24th 2026
Location: Salt Studios, 421 Richmond Road
Time: 12:00 to 6.30pm
We'll come together as a small group (of just 10 women) to deepen your intuition, open your heart and get truly honest with yourself. By harnessing the power of plant medicine, ancient rituals and mythology, you'll get to silence the daily noise and connect with what you truly want and uncover what's blocking you.
Expect to experience a journey through a range of ancestral modalities for connecting to self and the wisdom of the Earth, including:
- Sananga and desert plant medicine ceremony
- Sweetgrass braiding and smoke blessings
- Cacao sharing circle
- Guided self exploration and reflection
We'll open up about what's happening in our lives and share the fears, challenges and hopes we normally keep to ourselves.
There are only 10 spots available for this intimate one-of-a-kind event. Save £28 with the early bird special by booking before Sept 13th.
Price includes drinks, snacks, free full size bag of cacao and sweetgrass and other plant allies to take home.
VAT, charged at 20% is included in the displayed price.
Facilitated by doctor, herbalist and plant medicine ceremonialist, Ifey Ihonor, you’ll be led through a journey of reconnection to self and Earth. The day will involve:
Sweetgrass smoke blessings
Individual blessings with sacred sweetgrass to welcome in the energy of change and connect to the wisdom of mother nature.
Sanaga ceremony
Sanaga is an Amazonian plant, traditionally used by hunters to strengthen their vision. It helps clear what you can't see, allowing you to move forward with clarity, strength and focus. It is applied as drops directly into the eyes.
Microdose of sacred heart medicine
Deepen your connection to yourself and your heart's true desire by working with a small dose of a sacred desert medicine that's renowned for softening the heart and bringing joy and clarity. This is 100% optional.
Cacao sharing circle with mythology
A space to share dreams, hopes and challenges as a group.
We'll also use mythology to understand the spiritual symbolism of where you are in your life, give you a new perspective and get honest about what's really standing in your way.
