Summer Solstice Retreat Pack
Chetham Farm Retreat, Bolton
Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd June 2025
Dear Beautiful Soul,
Welcome to the Summer Solstice Retreat 2025. This weekend is a sacred pause – a time to stretch out, breathe deeply, and remember who you are beneath the busyness. The light is at its peak, and so are you.
Here at Chetham Farm, we’ll walk barefoot, tune into the whisper of the land, and reset our intentions for the rest of the year. You’ll be guided gently by Rachel Earing and Susan Cain through a journey of energy healing, ritual, connection, and joy.
This pack contains all the details you need for the weekend, including what to bring and our two-day agenda. Allow yourself to arrive fully and let the light do its work.
With love & yawned-up wonder,
Rachel & Sue
