ELVA – our name and our values
The name elva carries roots in both Norse and Irish traditions. In Old Norse, it echoes names linked to mythical, nature-connected beings, while in Irish it means “bright.” Together, these origins reflect a sense of magic, light and connection to the natural world – perfectly aligned with our values of mindfulness, renewal and gentle restoration.
At ELVA Retreats, we hold these qualities at the heart of everything we create.

Welcome to The Coven – Honouring the Wheel of the Year
The Coven is a sacred series of seasonal gatherings that invite you to slow down, gently reconnect, and realign with the natural rhythms of the year. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of the Wheel of the Year, each gathering celebrates the unique energy of the season – whether it’s the quiet introspection of winter, the blossoming renewal of spring, the abundance of summer or the reflective harvest of autumn. These retreats offer a nurturing space to pause, reflect and honour the cyclical nature of both the earth and ourselves.
Each experience blends calming yoga, a soothing sound bath, and a seasonal craft workshop to awaken your creativity and deepen your connection to the season. Together, we create moments of stillness, inspiration and community – leaving you feeling grounded, revitalised and in tune with your inner and outer cycles.
