Who Are You Here to Be?
A contemplative retreat inspired by the Gene Keys
1–4 October 2026 | Hilfield Friary, Dorset
Join me for a deeply nourishing retreat at the beautiful Hilfield Friary in North Dorset — a peaceful contemplative space surrounded by nature.
This intimate weekend retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore the deeper question:
Who are you here to be?
Inspired by the wisdom of the Gene Keys, astrology, meditation and embodied energy practices, we will gather in a small supportive group to explore purpose, authenticity, creativity and inner transformation.
Whether you are completely new to the Gene Keys or already familiar with this path, you are warmly welcome. The retreat is designed for both beginners and experienced Gene Keys explorers.
Together we will create space for:
-contemplation and self-inquiry
-guided Gene Keys sessions
-meditation and gentle movement
-journaling and creative expression
-walks in nature
-rest and meaningful connections
-community meals and conversation
-sound meditation and energy practices
This year we will focus especially on the Sphere of Purpose within the Hologenetic Profile — exploring how we can live with greater authenticity, fulfilment and trust in ourselves.
On Saturday, I will be joined by special guest Ruth Mitchell, founder of Embodied Energetics and Clear Energy Therapist, who will guide us through gentle energy practices designed to support emotional clarity, grounding and renewal.
The Venue
We will stay in Bernard House, a private cottage within the grounds of the beautiful Hilfield Friary — a Christian spiritual community surrounded by gardens, woodland and nature reserves.
The space offers simplicity, peace and quiet, making it an ideal setting for contemplation and inner work.
During the Retreat You Will
-learn the foundations of the Gene Keys system
-explore your own Hologenetic Profile
-reflect on your purpose and personal journey
-experience guided meditations and contemplative practices
-spend time in nature and silence
-enjoy creative exercises and journaling
-connect with like-minded people in a warm, supportive environment
-rest, reset and reconnect with yourself
This Retreat May Support You To:
-gain greater clarity about your path and purpose
-reconnect with your intuition and inner wisdom
-deepen self-acceptance and self-understanding
-awaken creativity and inspiration
-cultivate more trust, presence and emotional balance
-slow down and restore your energy
