Our Retreats

Do you believe you are living your life to your fullest potential?

If not, then yes, this retreat IS for you.

The Journeying Retreat is a healing journey.

 – A healing of whatever it is you feel has been holding you back from living the life you always wanted to live.
– A healing of emotional issues.
(Which can include: lack of self worth, resentment, deep seated anger, pain of rejection, abuse of any kind, grief, depression, etc.)

This retreat is a very private journey; there is no group sharing.

We gather as a group twice a day.   

This takes the form of: 

  A focus session in the morning – usually about an hour. 

 This is where a member of our team will speak on the topic of the day and team members may share some of their personal  experiences.        The session also includes music and readings.                                                                                                                                                                                     At the end of the focus session you are given your handout on the next topic.

An evening session

This can consist  of music/a short meditation/story/ poem or reflection.

As the healing process is a journey you will experience it in stages.                                                                                                                                              And this is where the companioning session comes in:

To help and guide you through these stages, you will have the opportunity to spend up to 40 minutes a day,   1-on-1, with a member of the team who will be assigned to you for the duration of the retreat.

This time is the “Non-silence” part of the retreat, so you will have the opportunity to ask your questions and mention any thoughts or concerns that may have arisen from your writing and the previous day’s handout.

You will be guided through the various stages of the retreat in a completely non-judgmental, confidential and safe space, all the while being reassured that what you are feeling is understood and quite normal.

The companioning session takes place each morning before the Focus Session.

Free Time

While you do follow a set program each day, and much of your time is taken up in reflection and writing , there is also ample time for relaxation;
to enjoy some of the walks nearby or time on the beach.

This retreat is about you –
And for some people it is the first time they have ever taken time out
– just for themselves.

And you will come to realize that You Are Worth It.

The silence is valued very highly because it allows you to hear the wisdom of your own heart, and therefore come in touch with who you really are.

The silence keeps you focused on your story and is an integral part of your healing journey.

Some people think that the silence is a strange thing – until they begin to experience it.

Many people come thinking that they won’t be able to do the silence.          

Only to find that they love it; that it is not difficult at all. 

Particularly as they start to realize that the silence is taking them on the journey to their healing.
