Reiki Retreats

The annual Northern Reiki retreat is a wonderful opportunity for rest, renewal and learning. Hosted by Reiki Master Martine Moorby and her co-facilitator Mandy Pearson, the retreat offers a flexible combination of Reiki practice and meditations, energy work, workshop-style activities, and confidential life-coaching to address more personal questions.

It is a unique opportunity to:
• have time out, rest and renew
• reflect on where you are in your life and explore the questions of change and spirituality that learning and practising Reiki may have invited
• work something out with the support of others
• take stock and consider options
• deepen your understanding of subtle energies
• connect with others and seek fresh perspectives on energy work - and your relationship to it
• practise and explore Reiki skills, techniques and approaches
• give and receive Reiki

In 2009, as in previous years, the pace was relaxed, with the emphasis on choice - to be in the company of others, to enjoy the wonderful setting alone in quiet reflection, or to ask for support and guidance along the way. For some, this year's retreat was about developing their Reiki practice and trying out new techniques or experiencing new approaches. For others the experience was a time to take stock on their spiritual journey and draw fresh inspiration and strength for the coming year. The participants make up their own "menu" from the options available.

Martine and Mandy, both experienced facilitators and coaches, share a passionate belief in people's capacity to grow, develop and empower themselves, and like to bring a blend of practicality, humour and open-heartedness to their work. Drawing on a wide range of resources, exercises, meditations and activities, they are able to tailor the focus of each day to the energy and interests of the group, whilst very mindful that any retreat is a completely unique experience for each individual.

Their intention is to provide a nurturing and encouraging environment in which participants can feel free to ask for and find what they need. They also provide a mini-resource centre/library.

Although not specifically designed as a 'group event', participants together create a supportive atmosphere in which much laughter, life experience and Reiki is shared!

To keep costs to a minimum, we have chosen a venue where the accommodation is based on sharing. The 6 bedrooms on the ground floor, most of which open onto a sheltered decking area leading to the garden, all have their own en-suite bathroom. There are two further dormer rooms. We are offering about 12 places.

You are invited to attend this very special event at a very special venue. All Reiki styles and lineages are welcome, so long as you hold at least Second Degree level.

The three days are intended to help you access even more of your potential in working with this universal energy.

The retreat is also about your self-development. You will have the opportunity to reflect on where you are in your life and explore the issues of change that learning and practising Reiki may have invited, maybe to work something out with the support of others and consider options for the future, or simply have some quiet "me-time".

Above all the retreat is designed to offer you a safe and comfortable space in which to nurture yourself and take what you need.
