All set for the gentle, nurturing 1 Day Silent Reteat

How sound can help us heal.

Our libraries offer so many great talks and workshops. It is worthwhile exploring what's in offer.

I was invited back today to talk about sound and playing the crystal and tibetan bowls for people to experience what it feels like. The frequencies, vibration and positive effects of sound has been used for thousands of years. Science and medicine are aligning and providing more evidence of the power of sound healing.

To find out how sound can benefit you, reach out for a chat.

1 Day Silent Retreat - A Space Just for You

Our retreats offer a sacred pause—a chance to step away from the constant demands of being everything for everyone else.

This is your time to rest, reconnect, and be fully supported.

A time to come home to yourself.

In this safe and nurturing space, you are invited to show up just as you are—authentic, whole, and worthy. Here, you don’t have to hold it all together. You’re allowed to simply be.

What You Can Expect

Gentle, guided healing experiences including meditation, mindfulness, and energy-based practices to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Holistic workshops and practices that nurture the body, mind, and spirit, offering space for emotional release, insight, and transformation.

Creative expression, nature connection, and moments of stillness that allow you to process and integrate at your own pace.

Supportive group connection, where you can share in a safe, heart-centered space—if you choose.

Ample quiet time for rest, reflection, or simply being. Your presence is enough.

Get ready to unplug and recharge at our 1 Day Silent Retreat, where peaceful vibes and self-reflection await you.

✨ We often carry stories and conditioning that were never truly ours — shaped by others' beliefs, fears, and limitations.

But you don’t have to stay small.

💫 It’s time to release what no longer serves you and step into who you really are.

If you're ready to break free from old patterns and shine your light ...
Reach out. Let's begin the journey together.
