The Gathering Retreat

Escape the cycle of perpetual overwhelm!

October 28^th, 29^th and 30^th

I have been told many times by clients and those in spirit that when individuals come to me for help they never really know what they are going to get but it is always exactly what they need!  So the following is an outline of the theme and program for the weekend, but as always with me there will be organic flow as required.

Life is becoming busier and busier, time is speeding up and some say that we have entered the “Quickening”, the period leading up to December 2012. Whatever is going to happen in the future is in some ways irrelevant. We all need to find peace, joy and fulfillment in the now. Unfortunately, many individuals feel as though they are living with constant overload of information; people, advertising, emails, TV etc.  The Gathering Retreat will a gathering of like minded souls who want to spend time gathering the many fractured aspects of themselves and re-integrating them into a synergistic whole.  Finding your sacred centre of Self, the place of calm in the surrounding storm.  The Gathering Retreat will give you the breathing space to gather your senses and unwind.  Having your mobile phone on is not an option during the day.

The weekend will involve the dissemination of information and processes to help you move forward no matter the outward storm of society.  There will be exercises to connect with the many aspects of yourself as well as exercises for healing.  We will go through the different stages of mind/soul development using variety of mediums; discussion, self-contemplation, storytelling, meditation and art materials.  (Don’t be afraid of the words “art materials” you will find your creativity even if you feel you do not have a creative bone in your body!)

You will leave the retreat feeling stronger; mentally, emotionally and spiritually, more in tune with yourself and more connected into the flow of your own life.  Renewed and relaxed. You will also be well equipped to keep your energy and the spaces that you live in clear.
