Chia Seed & Date Energy Bombs

Ingredients

1 cup of medjool dates (soft)

2 tbsp of chai seeds

1/2 cup of ground almonds

1 tbsp of flax seeds

2 tbsp of cacao powder (chocolate substitute) 1 tbsp of coconut oil

2 tbsp of almond butter

Method

Measure out chai seeds, almonds (can be grounded in a blender if bought whole, or buy ground), flax seeds (not essential) and cacao powder (chocolate sub') into a bowl.

Soften dates in a mixer or I melt them to make them squishy in a pan on the hob with the coconut oil, this process is a lot easier than in a blender - it can take a while to get all the goodness out of the blender and around the blades.

Once squishy after a little stir add to bowl of ingredients then add the almond butter.

Mix until the mixture comes together, then get your hands in and make balls in your hands. Put them in the fridge to set! Done!

Store in an air tight container. Makes about 14 bombs! Enjoy!!

Ode to the Beach

 Ode to the Beach

My reminder to pause, to reset, to ground

To listen to the ocean, to bask in her glory, to give myself time - to be.

I need the stillness, the solitude, the space - to grow, evolve & be MORE. I cannot be MORE without this. It is my place, to disconnect to give in to the divine & all she is sharing with me.

Being here is a gift, an opportunity.

The peace is always waiting for me.

I look out to the wide ocean & wonder what’s out there, a constant movement of eb & flow. The pull & push of the waves. The wide space of emptiness.

The water makes me feel alive, invigorated, re-awaken to a new me, a new day. The magic water seduces me, it captivates me.

They’re maybe odd people around, but I feel its just me & the beach, & it’s like I have come home.

The colors of the ocean - navy, pale green with flecks of the dark seaweed draw me in, the white ripples that come into the shore mesmerize me.]

It’s right that I should host my next retreat by the ocean. 

To breathe in her power & soak in the salty, fresh air.

Connecting to my Earth & Water element is what makes me whole, and I want to share that wholeness with those that need that break, that pause & re-set moving into 2024.

To cleanse away the past year & bring joy in - fully.

Embracing a new place - unspoiled & tranquil.

To flow & move along with the tide.

To have fun & emerge back into life full of a bright shining light - cultivated by nature, serenity & wonder.

Come back more fulfilled, blissed out & ready to embrace the year fully.

The beach does some thing magical to me, & I want to share that with you too.

Relax in comfort, yet delve into nature.

If your soul is craving space to breathe & reconnect. This is for you.

Because this retreat is about re-setting, grounding & re-charging - expect a mud cleanse on the beach! A massage, delicious local food & margaritas on the beach, Yoga overlooking the ocean, a comfortable bed, & shower in the open air! 

All included, all to bring a wonderful balance of bliss & joy your way.
