Latest News from Something Kind of Woo
A sold-out Wiltshire wellbeing retreat which brought people together to mark the peak of the Lionsgate Portal is set to return for a third year in 2027.
Louise Muir-Sage, Reiki practitioner and founder of Something Kind of Woo in Royal Wootton Bassett, welcomed 28 people to The Barn at Great Moorleaze Farm in Wanborough on Saturday 8 August for her second annual Lionsgate retreat.
The day gave people the chance to step away from everyday life, with a guided meditation from Sam SoulSong, Yin Flow and a sound bath with MindBodySoul with Jazz. Guests could also have henna tattoos and tarot card readings, while Louise brought Something Kind of Woo to the event with a pop-up shop.
“I was absolutely thrilled to sell out for the second year,” said Louise. “When you plan something like this, you have an idea in your head of how you want people to feel, but seeing everyone there, taking part and giving themselves permission to properly switch off was really special.”
The Lionsgate Portal is recognised within spiritual practices each year and reaches its peak around 8 August. Louise created the retreat to give people a welcoming space to explore the occasion through meditation, movement, reflection and spending time with others.
This was the second year Louise has run the retreat, following the success of the first event in 2025.
“There was such a lovely atmosphere throughout the day,” she said. “Some people came with friends, others came on their own and there were completely different levels of experience. You don’t have to know anything about spirituality to come along. You can be completely new to it and just enjoy having some time for yourself.”
Attendee Ami Thompson said “It was a beautiful day where I could switch off and relax. I loved learning about the Sunstone crystal and have carried it with me since. The meditation and sound bath felt amazing, and the day inspired me to take action with my own business too.”
The success of this year’s event means plans are already underway for its return on 7 August 2027, with 10 people who attended this year already securing their place.
“For people to finish the day and tell me they want to come back next year is probably the biggest compliment I could receive,” said Louise. “This was only our second Lionsgate retreat, so to know we’ll be coming back for a third year and already have people booked feels amazing.
“I’ve got plenty of ideas for next year. I want to keep the parts people have really enjoyed, but also make sure there’s something different to experience each time.”
