'The Sacred Pause' - Creative Self-Discovery Day in Ingatestone, Essex

'The Sacred Pause' will be held on Sunday 20th September. There are only 7 spaces left so if you want to come along and give it a go, get your ticket now!

This retreat day will be co-hosted by myself and Sophie, a local reiki practitioner, who will be giving participants a taste of reiki healing during the closing sound bath/relaxation. We’ll also give all participants a voucher for a FREE 20-minute session with her at her home clinic in Ingatestone. 

What’s special about this retreat?

You’ll have the opportunity to experience the healing power of reiki, sound healing, breathwork and yoga, but additionally, you’ll be the first to learn a new 5 step personal growth framework that I have designed called the ‘PAUSE’ model of healing. 

This growth model will encourage participants to consider the vital components of a personal growth journey, and the activities throughout the day are designed around this framework. Don’t worry though – you won’t be expected to join a group hug or anything! It’s very much a personal journey, although our hope is that through some of the creative activities you might just build some new connections!
