RETREAT DATES

Friday 20^th – Monday 23^rd January 2023

Tuesday 7^th – Friday 10^th February 2023

We feel passionately that as women we need time to ourselves, to step away from our busy lives and the constant demands on us. A time to switch off, replenish and connect with other women. We are excited to invite you to join us for a few days in the beautiful North Devon countryside to retreat, reflect and refocus.

Have you lost your way and need time to reconnect back to yourself?
Are you feeling overwhelmed, in need of space to reset, a time just for you?
Do you feel stuck in the middle between the needs of children and elderly parents?
Does life still feel a bit scary after the past few years of enforced social isolation?

If so, this intimate retreat could be just what you need. Come and be surrounded by other women who may be feeling like you and discover you are not alone.

We are providing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and focus on what you want to bring into your life as we step into a new year. We will share with you some tools which will support you in your daily life. Come and join us for a few days, to ‘JUST BE’, to get to know yourself again, to ponder on a way forward or just to have fun, rest, relax and enjoy.

During your stay with us we will look after you and cater to your needs. It is important you leave us feeling nourished, rested and replenished.

There will be time for you to:

Curl up with a book
Enjoy some fresh air in the countryside
Connect with other women
Take a nap

The choice is yours!

Testimonials

For a few days I stepped out of my life as I know it and trusted in the moment! I wouldn't know where to start about what happened, however, what I can easily say is that I have come home a different person than when I left. I've come back believing in my path, believing in me, believing in the love of others, and knowing, completely knowing that there is nothing to fear. I wouldn't be able to say what one thing has helped, I do see it as a chain of events that led perfectly, one after the other, to today! I honestly couldn't thank Samantha enough for her perfect support and perfect guidance. Her perfect garden, with perfect trees and perfect birds. I have been blessed to have had the chance to spend this time with such an amazing and caring person who is nothing less than magic with the way she promotes healing and self-realisation.

Having been diagnosed for the second time in my life with Endometriosis and feeling completely exhausted after another very painful weekend, discombobulated and pretty frustrated I called the lovely Samantha, who told me to come to her if my family could spare me for a few days. Sam is my Reiki Master; I have known her for many years and totally trusted her when she said she was quite sure she could help me with a new technique she had just learned. So I pumped myself with painkillers and drove myself to North Devon to see her. She gave me my first EFT treatment (Emotional freedom technique or more simply "tapping on acupuncture points") and Matrix Reimprinting. Honestly, even if I work with energy and am quite open minded, I couldn't see how it could work for me. I am just so glad I listened to her and so grateful by her amazing welcome. The next day when I woke up, I realised that I had actually slept through the night! Then I noticed that I wasn't in pain, and when I got out of bed, the pain didn't come back when I started moving around. It was the first time in 3 months that I was pain-free, and I have been pretty much all the time since then. I can't explain how it felt, it was simply wonderful. Since my stay with Sam, it feels like my life has been given to me again.
