A practical retreat for professionals & entrepreneurs who hold space, care for and nurture others
Learn how to centre, align, hold boundaries and resource yourself so that your work can be done with joy and ease without spending and exhausting yourself in the process.
We will draw on the specific techniques that I use myself to:
- Prepare you to lead holistically, because that is what you are doing
- Clear your psyche and energy field, so that your work is clean and clear
- Source your work in Source rather than self, so that burnout is a thing of the past
- Remove ego while allowing personality to shine through
- Serve without sacrifice
The techniques I use are derived from Shamanic practice, Reiki, Gnosticism, Yoga, Buddhism, Energy practices and ancient tried and tested methodologies for minding one’s mind, understanding conscious evolution, and loving oneself into wholeness.
It will be my most in-depth and spiritual teaching to date, underpinned by decades of use personally, continuous professional development, and an interest in the science that we have that allows us to understand a little more how these ancient techniques operate.
This retreat will be for you if:
- You work as an energy practitioner in some modality. I count the talking therapies in this, as well as consultancy practices, public sector and third sector workers where care for colleagues, employees, or other stakeholders is a major component of the job – teachers, nurses, coaches, carers, holistic therapists, consultancy services such as style, brand, business coaching etc.
- You love your work AND sometimes or often find yourself exhausted by it
- You spot a tendency to take on your clients’ problems, perhaps falling into rescuing tendencies
- You override your boundaries for the sake of others
- You hesitate to charge for your services or feel you must discount (money will not be the main focus of the retreat, but the ability to receive absolutely will be)
This is MY next evolution after 18 years of running retreats, offering professional training to holistic therapists, and working with private clients.
By utilising my highly unusual background growing up in an ashram-associated organisation, exposed to the teachings of the Vedas alongside the Bible from age 4, taught to meditate at 9, a student of history, who ran away to work in biomedical research for a decade before re-finding my way in holism and spending the last 18 years bringing all the threads together. I can save you time, energy, and frustration.
Love what you do, who you do it for, without sacrificing your own wellbeing. Learn from my mistakes and lessons in learning (a.k.a failures!) and move confidently towards your own next evolution. You’ll know what it is.
Stanton Guildhouse is the perfecting setting for a nurturing retreat.
Nestled above the picturesque village of Stanton, just south of Broadway, the Cotswold Way passes within a few feet of Stanton Guildhouse. This beautiful Grade II Listed Manor House has been lovingly built in a traditional style, for a homely feel throughout.
Arrive at the large sitting room on entrance, which is a peaceful area, perfect for reading and enjoying some quiet time.
Surrounding the Guildhouse is exquisite countryside with stunning views stretching over the Vale of Evesham to the Brecon Beacons – a breath-taking landscape to inspire you.
We arrive for 6 pm on Friday and depart, refreshed and renewed, by 3 pm on Sunday.
