community healing
We used to gather by the fireside in the community. However, our way of life has shifted to a more disconnected existence. We often need to seek spaces to come together and experience ritual, love and connection in a community without judgment or competition.
I started Ellasfield to create a cosy and inviting space where people can come together, connect, and grow surrounded by caring individuals. Many of us didn't grow up in environments where expressing sadness or strong emotions was okay. We had limited opportunities to navigate grief within a supportive community, and we often grew up in environments which lacked a deeper appreciation for our connection to the earth and the role of rituals in our lives. At Ellasfield, we encourage everyone to explore these feelings and experiences together in a loving atmosphere.
For over 18 years, hearts have united at Ellasfield, nestled in the beautiful West Sussex countryside. Whether you have visited occasionally or are a steadfast supporter of everything Ellasfield, we are truly grateful for your presence. To new friends, we warmly invite you to join us!
Get ready to dive into an extraordinary journey of connection! Whether you're attending a vibrant event, joining a transformative women's circle, enjoying a personal healing session, or participating in your private cacao ceremony surrounded by the beauty of nature, every moment is infused with magical energy. Together, we cultivate trust and embrace the potent healing vibrations of Mama Cacao, Mother Earth, and our horses, as well as the wonderful bond we share with one another.
Are you looking to explore something new and deepen your connections with spirit and your loved ones?
Let us assist you in creating a warm and memorable birthday celebration or a meaningful hen do. You can enjoy a lovely day with us or even book Ellasfield House for a cozy weekend retreat with friends. These gatherings provide a fantastic opportunity to celebrate, share stories or support one another through life's ups and downs!
By the fireside, you will deepen your connection with cacao through gently guided ceremonies, offering a profound opportunity to reconnect with Mother Earth and her rhythms. Embrace a variety of wellness experiences, including cacao ceremonies, individual or group equine sessions, shamanic healing, restorative and kundalini yoga, as well as invigorating sauna and cold water immersions.
Engaging in heartfelt rituals and ceremonies allows us to reconnect with the sacred aspects of life. These powerful moments will enable you to set new intentions while surrounded by a supportive community. Through sharing and deep listening, we nurture meaningful connections and foster lasting relationships that uplift us all.
Sharing in a community in authentic, heart-centred spaces empowers us to share our life's light and dark aspects. It enables us to recognise and appreciate the best parts of ourselves through the eyes of another. The validation and affirmation we receive from being seen by one another makes healing in a community incredibly powerful and meaningful, where deep healing can occur.

A clients perspective..
I find it astonishing how much my life has changed over the past 18 months since first going to Ellasfield. I have learnt so much about my authentic self with a deeper understanding of who I truly am and which path to follow to continue learning and healing.
I remember the first time I attended a day retreat at Ellasfield, I was so nervous, I didn't know what to expect.
As soon as I arrived, I felt at ease. The setting is truly stunning and extremely inviting. I was greeted by beautiful Kim and made to feel welcome, like I had always been a part of the gathering, and my nerves fell away instantly. Everyone attending on the day, and everyday ever since have been so friendly and supportive, all on our own journeys at different times and places, but all coming together to be held and heard, even though we meet as strangers.
I look forward every month to the full moon gathering and attend day retreats when I can, majority of them, I attend alone which is something I would never have thought I could do before. This alone has been so empowering.
I have worked with Kim on a one to one basis also, healing aspects of myself that had troubled me for so many years, icannot believe the changes in myself over a short period of time and am truly grateful.
Ellasfield is a magical place I come to to relax, unwind, release, be heard and offer an ear to others. Sometimes I'm quiet and just want to arrive and be in my own thoughts and sometimes I'm more vocal, the beauty of Ellasfield is you can be exactly who you are at that moment, there is no expectations or judging, just the time and space to "BE" as you are.
Ive never known sisterhood before, now I do, and wow, its so powerful! Thank you Kim for allowing us to share your space, your knowledge and wisdom and making such a profound difference to my life, forever grateful.
