Temenos

In the winter months we offer our guests the opportunity to embrace a more formal retreat which includes daily yoga, meditation and prayer, as well as silent walks in nature.

‘As July is traditionally the month of the Sacred Heart, join me as we take the opportunity not only to reflect upon and nurture the wellbeing of their own hearts but also to quietly explore and embrace the benefits of Contemplative Prayer and a Path with heart.’    Gardener Billy

The retreat includes:

• 4 nights’ accommodation

• Vegetarian breakfasts and suppers

• Silent Meditation sessions

• Optional sessions exploring the adventure of a contemplative Prayer life

• Yoga

• Accompanied Silent Nature Walks

​

This retreat, offered in the beautiful and nurturing environment of Temenos, is for Reiki Practitioners and Masters. As energy healers we often find ourselves depleted and in need of support and nurturing. Taking a retreat is an invaluable part of taking care of ourselves, rest and rejuvenate in order to return to our practices of caring for others with renewed and inspired energy.

​

This retreat aims to provide the space for rest and replenishment, as well as receiving healing from others in a group context, connect with other Reiki healers, and refresh our skills-base through group discussions.

This retreat will not follow a set program. We will start by putting our prayers on a fire, then follow the movement from there. We will be held, rest, nourish, and hydrate our bodies through water constellations, making plant medicines, balms and beauty.
Matriarchs will be offered choices for receiving bodywork, steams or other treatments from trusted practitioners. I will hold space for group constellations that may emerge and especially
collective work that may be calling on one or all of us in this circle. Maybe we will howl, maybe we will laugh. I wish for both. We will be nourished at our venue so we can stay contained, or as
messy as we please. Matriarchs in this circle will have access to all the sacred spaces within the Temenos Garden.

Currently it feels like we are living in a world turned upside down and navigating a global reality marked by political instability and uncertainty. On a personal level we are dealing with relentless demands on our time and energy, unrealistic expectations, crazy pace of work and changes happening so fast that we can hardly keep up. It feels like we have little control over what happens around us, as an ever-increasing cost of living and unexpected challenges all contribute to a sense of feeling frazzled, overwhelmed and disembodied. It is no wonder that we notice an increase in mental health issues as our capacity to manage stress is depleted and anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue sets in.
