Eve Ruffell
Founder
Eve is a deeply intuitive and a compassionate teacher with a rich background in ballet, pilates, dance and the performing arts. Her approach to movement is more than physical. It is a form of self-care and a powerful tool for releasing stored tension in the body using breathwork, stretching, strengthening and movement.
Being a lucid dreamer and clairaudient since birth, a spiritual path began via an introduction to recovery, shamanism and reiki healing from the late Dr Michael Seear. Coupled with her love of nature, her inherited green fingers created a natural shift into world of medicinal and herbal remedies. As a keen lepidopterist (lover of butterflies) regular hummingbird moths began appearing in the garden. These moths, just like hummingbirds themselves, serve as a symbol of adaptation and change; just like being open to spiritual guidance. After a long journey of deep introspection, exploring and studying shamanic practices, lucid dreaming techniques and other transformative modalities, all the disciplines have enriched her understanding of the interconnectedness of the body, mind and spirit allowing her to guide others toward deeper self-awareness and growth.
She welcomes you to your unique retreat experience, weaving together movement, spiritual practices, personal healing through creative expression, artistic exploration and more creating a rich, multifaceted experience.

Tabari Ayo
Movement Meditation
Tabari Ayo’s journey is rooted in movement, spiritual development, and social justice. His love for movement began in his youth through dance, which later led him into competitive sports, representing England in basketball. Driven by a desire to create positive change, he spent over a decade working with vulnerable communities and advocating for health equity and human rights. Feeling disillusioned by systemic challenges, Tabari embarked on a transformative spiritual journey across Southeast Asia.
In Southeast Asia, he connected with spiritual teachers, healers, and truth seekers, which inspired him to create Dance of the 5 Tribes, a movement practice he taught at renowned healing centres like Orion Healing Centre and The Sanctuary Thailand. His spiritual journey deepened in Brazil, where he embraced indigenous traditions, shamanic healing, and sacred medicine ceremonies.
Upon returning to the UK, Tabari developed Okàn Movement Meditation, blending movement, mindfulness, and spirituality. As a Certified Holistic Life Coach and member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Tabari integrates these insights into his coaching practice, helping others find resilience, purpose, and authentic self-expression.
For Tabari, coaching and movement are more than practices—they are forms of embodiment. Through them, he encourages individuals to not only connect with their inner selves but to embody their true potential and live with greater awareness and purpose.
