Hi everyone.
Next Residential Retreat scheduled for March 14th - 16th 2025.
I am so grateful to Debby who sent me this wonderful account of her time on a Residential Retreat held here in the beautiful Melindwr Valley.
You may be wondering about the "Whatever Weekend" in the title .
At each Residential Retreat I have held, over the course of the three days a theme emerges or something happens that we immediately know is going to be the unique name for that retreat.
Amongst others we have had "The Carnivores", "The Cake Retreat" and "The Cockles"
Below is Debby's personal account of her experiences on the Whatever Weekend!!
🌟The Point of Balance Residential Retreat aka the Whatever Weekend🌟
I had absolutely no expectation, or even idea what was supposed to happen at the retreat, but even so the whole experience was TOTALLY unexpected AND mind blowing!!
I never imagined how much there is out there, all around and inside. I really struggle to put it into words
Language seems so basic, too small to describe the massive shift, realisations and awareness that started in me.
We all arrived in Wales on Thursday night and met for a Chinese and a glass of wine. Myself, close friend Amanda, Kathy (who I knew from a previous Warwick Schiller clinic and I had also recently asked for help with my horse at the end of his life), along with Anna and Sue, two complete strangers, that now probably know more about me than some of my closest friends and family! We all got on brilliantly, had a few laughs then an early night as we had all travelled quite a distance.
Friday was the most emotional time ever! We all chatted openly about ourselves, our fears, what’s blocking us, what’s holding us back, our strengths, childhoods, relationships, jobs, the way we process information (very pertinent to me) and all manner of everything.
We used almost a whole toilet roll crying that day, not all sad tears, some happy, some release and some just happened.
Kathy then did a couple of Point of Balance sessions while we all chatted and watched the recording of Kathy at the Summit.
After lunch we were all pretty much drained. Amanda and I went for a walk in the glorious countryside to get a “nature fix” and some fresh air. That evening we had dinner in a beautiful pub on the seafront and watched the sunset …… magical!
Saturday was the most “spiritual”, incredible day I have ever experienced. I have a tendency to questions EVERYTHING, and if there is not a logical, science-based explanation, then I struggle to accept it.
I have absolutely no explanation, nor can I quantify what happened to me. I just accepted it – massive learning curve for me!
I had my session with Kathy and had the strangest experience where I went into the picture on the wall. I knew I was still on the bed, but at the same time I was walking along the road, I could feel the surroundings, the warmth of the sun, the chill in the shade and hear the birds.
I just accepted it, leant against a tree and felt so happy. Then had this sudden release of emotion so I cried like a baby. I felt something shift and lift inside. The things that were affecting me deeply suddenly were OK and accepted. It was an amazing feeling, but I needed a Kathy hug!
When I looked again at the picture there was a stunning rainbow, that I swear was not there before….
Then we spent time with Kathy’s horses. We all managed to “feel” something. Some of us already had an established gift of animal communication, and they did just that. I had words and visions come to me, and really didn’t make a lot of sense. But I later found out that another animal communicator had previously also got the same from Evie and WOW that blew my “scientific” mind.
After lunch we went into the beautiful countryside. We listened and acknowledged the wonderful natural world, and I felt a real connection to the surroundings. A bit further along we came to an old lead mine – a gaping hole in the beautiful land. Such sadness and shame came over me and weighed me down to such an extent that I could hardly breathe. It was horrible, scary, but so profound. I really needed the stunning waterfall and her cleansing energy to lift me up again. We then chatted about how wonderful nature is (right up my street!) and then did a Heartmath meditation session which settled everything back down.
In the evening we had dinner in a restaurant next to the most powerful, raging torrent of water – its energy was immense.
On Sunday we all wanted to do something a bit “normal”. Kathy lives in the most stunning part of our world, so we went exploring. We went to the estuary, played in the rock pools like kids, walked along the beach and laughed so much and had so much fun.
The after lunch we watched the Red Kites being fed. They have recently been reintroduced to many areas, but this was their original stronghold, and they are well fed to maintain their survival. They filled the sky all around. Such an incredible sight in an incredible location.
Then it was time to head back home. Back to “normality” and time to try and process the lessons of the weekend. I have met with and connected with some wonderful people, experiences and emotions.
I will never forget or be able to explain those few days.
What I really learnt though is that there are some things that we currently cannot explain, but there is no denying that:
“THIS S**T IS REAL!!”

This awesome account from Debby is obviously her personal experience.
After three years of holding these Residential Retreats is is not surprising that whatever the person is seeking is what is most likely for them to experience.
On the Retreat everyone's personal journey is honoured, encouraged and supported which can lead to a very magical weekend.
