A women’s retreat led by Poppy Altmann, and Ruth Tudor and her herd at Trealy Farm

Poppy Altmann is an experienced Family Constellations Facilitator with 20 years experience as a homeopath. Her particular areas of interest are around the processing of emotions through embodiment practices, and also attunement, both as a facilitator and a participant. In her spare time you’ll find her spending time with her two adult daughters, kayaking or walking by the Thames, practising yoga, horseriding or dancing 5Rhythms.

Ruth Tudor is a qualified and experienced psychotherapist and trainer with additional specialisms in body therapy and equine assisted psychotherapy. She is also a writer and a farmer. She loves to dance, eat well, hang out with horses and humans, and go on pilgrimage.

Join us in the beautiful setting of Trealy Farm in Monmouthshire, for a Beltane weekend of deep diving into our ancestral past while held by the powerful combination of the herd at Trealy farm in the Chinese year of the Fire Horse, 2026

In the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Horse represents:
Strength and endurance: moving forward even when the road is hard
Freedom and independence: living authentically, guided by instinct
Momentum and rebirth: change that isn’t quiet, but powerful. Connection to spirit — horses are seen as messengers between worlds
