The Space-Holders

Rose Wicksteed

Rose is a muse of the creative path.  She has worked for the past 20 years primarily as a Casting Director in Film and Television.  Alongside this creative work, she has studied and immersed herself in holistic modalities including the Non-Linear Movement Method® ; Ceremonial Cacao facilitation; Womb Ceremony facilitation; Shamanic Breathwork; Evolutionary Astrology, Shamanic Studies & Somatic Trauma Therapy.

Spurred on by the transformational year of 2020, she immersed herself in a deep dive exploring the relationships between creativity, spirituality, the natural world and the artist: the dance between the different worlds she is a part of.  Rose has studied many spiritual teachings from buddhism to esoteric but she does not attach or follow any one spiritual dogma rather she prefers to draw on many teachings and share from a place of humility in how to listen to life, surrender to the flow, move into more authenticity and truth and create from the heart.

Her retreats offer nurturing and exploration for creative beings.  A re-wilding of the self, to inspire and ignite the creative fire.  Weaving expression through the body, mind, soul and spirit through elemental teachings.  Drawing heavily on lessons from the natural world and our relationship to it. Rose loves inspiring others to remember their truth and the original spring of their art, through listening deeply to life.

What people are saying:

Rose is a weaver of soft, shamanic and tender places. She transmits the deeply wild feminine current with full force but in the container of her enormous heart it all becomes safe, exquisite and transformatively healing medicine. I know few people who are bold enough, raw enough, honest enough to visit the most challenging corners of humanness and bring back such nourishing medicine of empathy and holding for the benefit of others. You can trust her to be gentle with your heart. Always.

Tiina

Shelley’s soul pours forth from her eyes , her heart. Gentle reassuring giving. Her breathwork session gave rise to huge emotion from all of us, but felt safe and so held. The joy too of her shaking session,  feet rooted down to the depths of the earth arms reaching to the limitless sky. Inhibitions a thing of irrelevance , joy and laughter bubbling up as we moved shook and danced, surrounded by nature.🙏🏽

Juliet

Rose’s wild artists day retreat in London was an absolute treat for my creative soul. Rose held the room with gentleness and generosity, creating trust and softness from the get go. We connected with other artists and allowed ourselves to be seen, and to listen. The journey throughout the day was beautiful, using an array of therapeutic techniques like sound baths, guided meditations and cacao ceremony. It was a joy to connect with nature in the city, and have the space to connect to ourselves.

Sara

The retreat with Rose felt quite magical and significant.  Before coming I felt curious about questioning my creativity from a more authentic place… the day offered so much wonderful rich spaciousness and unexpected revelations which, three days later are still speaking to me… I feel like I met a part of myself which I always sensed was there but didn’t quite know how to connect with.  Rose created such a safe, relaxed space. Anything was welcome and it truly felt like a sanctuary in the busyness of my mind and living here in London . I highly recommend for any artist who wants to release more of who they truly are into their work and life. 

Ellie

‘I am so glad I joined;  my first experience of a retreat and I was anxious but loved every experience. Rose and Shelley created a safe space, no pressure to share or feeling of judgement. I feel I have gained tools to start the journey to find me again. The weekend exceeded my expectations, and I met some special souls. I feel as a whole nourished, a stunning venue, tranquil-nature-sea swimming-sauna watching dolphins pass through.. a weekend of memories I will always cherish.

Paula

I was fortunate enough to spend time on the untouched Greek island of Samothraki in 2023 on Roses’ summer solstice retreat. I was in awe of how in tune Rose was with her intuitive nature and her trust to be in the art of flow. This was demonstrated in the retreat schedule whereby there was time and space for the mysteries of the island to unfold naturally. This left me feeling unbelievably excited to see what magic would be revealed as we went from one day to the next. Her grounded yet loving presence weaved its way throughout the tapestry of the retreat resulting in a container that felt not only held but incredibly nurturing. The sense of joy and ease I felt whilst being on retreat with Rose is a testament to the spaces that she holds. It was nothing short of magic and Samothraki will forever be a place that stole my heart.

Frances

It was such a great guided meditation, I've never done one focusing on creativity before. I was reminded of my younger (possibly true) self - full of creativity and passion and drive, always in my head lost in my huge imagination or scribbling stories, and full of joy and excitement. Life wears that down over the years but it's great to be reminded of what my true soul was and how it possibly can be again, and perhaps still is deep down.

Helen

I absolutely loved the Wild Artist retreat you created. It was a joy to be held with such integrity by you three wonderful humans. Shelly's got a beautiful, insightful, experienced & trustworthy sense and I felt very safe being held in process with her during the transformative breathwork. The retreat was indeed everything I had hoped it would be and more. I was touched by the way Rose held space so beautifully for us all and allowed us to just be as we were - in all the messy, primitive processing. It was indeed the right retreat at the right time for me. Connecting to the space and nature in the simple explorations she created for us was wonderful. I loved the movement sessions and the journey Rose took us on, the work felt quite deep and profound and yet light at the same time.  The entire 3 days was so beautifully put together, with thought, intention, integrity and creativity, it was an absolute treat to be part of it, I can't wait for the next one. 

Hannah

‘I arrived on a sunny Friday afternoon slightly nervous not knowing what to expect and at the same time I had an absolute understanding that somehow I was not meant to be anywhere else. Every moment that unfolded from the very first moment I met Rose reassured me that I had been right to listen to my intuition. I felt so held in the space that Rose had created and so very safe. Physically safe as well as emotionally and spiritually. From Rose’s non-linear movement session, to Shelley’s breath work practice, to the extraordinary food that Charlotte created in the kitchen, every moment felt like it was sprinkled with magic stardust. The attention that was given to every detail was astounding and so very special. Rose’s ability to feel into the group and intuitively know what we all needed was magical. After a gruelling few years it was the miracle I had prayed for. Thank you so much Rose!’

Nikki

A big thank you for the best time over the weekend. It’s was such a special experience and taught me things I will keep forever! Yourself, Shelly and Charlotte are seriously incredible force and hope we all cross paths again in the future! Haven’t stopped telling people how transformative it was so pls let me know if you ever hold a retreat again!

Daisy

Rose is a truly special soul. She has a gift for seeing the artist as a true individual, and has a deep respect for not only the nonlinear creative process, but has a unique ability to encourage the individual within a mix of guidance and silence. So in some magical way you feel like the sessions are tailored directly to you because of her deep respect and encouragement for an individual's expression, but equally the others sharing in the session give this special feeling of community and strengthened intensity to the practice. She's just really special.

Andrea

Rose’s “Moon session for the creative soul” was like a perfectly spiced cup of ceremonial cacao. - Rich, enlightening, opening and warm.  Through the somatic movement Rose so gently guided us in, I released a lot, things I didn’t even know I was carrying and on other side of that felt like I stepped deeper into my heart magic and creative flow. I felt so aligned when I wrote my New Moon intentions afterwards and two days later I found my new home! Would highly recommend this sessions to anyone interested in releasing old trauma and tapping deeper into their heart wisdom.

Rose held the most safe and sacred space, enabling us to feel secure , to truly relax, open, and be unafraid to look inside the landscape of our inner world….to ask questions without demanding answers of our deepest inner feelings longings hopes desires. All the journeys and practices Rose led us into onto and beyond I am so grateful for , and as I sit now in the urban landscape of the city , I can still access those feelings of wonderment openness gratitude and love. Rose led us on journeys which opened my heart, soul, body, holding a space within which everything was allowed and welcome. Mindful at all times of the deep emotions these practices can bring up, Rose led with such beautiful tenderness, and held us in a place of reassurance and safety. Following these at times very moving experiences she took great care to help us come back to ourselves,  closing with the warmest nurturing ceremony during which we were able to wrap and encircle ourselves with protective light. A space carved out of time in the beauty of nature and human embrace. Thank you Rose  

Juliet

Rose takes you on a journey to your soul. Her visualisations are powerful and transformative. Rose's intuitive, holistic approach is the revolution that is so deeply desired within the World right now. She is a pioneer, steering the ship for those of us who are ready to take the journey.

Abbie

What I remember most clearly from the womb journey, was the overwhelming sensation of softness and safety i felt afterwards, like i had found a lush garden inside of myself that had been long forgotten.
To realise i was capable of feeling this sense of safety so deeply in my body was such a joy and a relief because it taught me i carry this safe place inside of me and can reconnect with it regularly no matter what is happening around me.
  The journey allowed my body to start gently moving out of stress and survival mode and into my own centered, grounded self.
Thanks rose.
