Experience a unique journey that will captivate your senses and elevate your wellbeing. You are invited to escape to a deeply nourishing evening retreat, where you will experience conscious rest and self-healing through the power of sound, touch, taste, sight and scent.
There’s no denying that given the busy world we live in, it can feel difficult to prioritise and give ourselves permission to rest, yet it is incredibly necessary and worthwhile. When we create opportunities for deliberate rest, in return we receive more energy, better health, improved creativity, and a more balanced approach to life. One of the many ways we can move into rest more easily is to connect more deeply to our senses.
This 2.5-hour nurturing and replenishing experience will weave together the collective therapeutic power of Sound Healing, Reiki, Aromatherapy, Massage, Meditation, Breathwork, Crystal Healing and the use of Medicinal Herbal Teas.
You will be welcomed into a lovingly held, beautiful space which will invite you to harness your breath, bring your awareness to the present moment, connect more deeply to how you are feeling and create active, conscious, deliberate moments for you to rest and receive. After the session you will feel deeply relaxed, more grounded, rested and calm. a harmonious blend of healing and rejuvenation awaits you. The perfect re-set!
Highlights to Expect:
❤️ Sound Journey:
Surrender to the healing frequencies of quartz crystal singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, chimes, drums and the voice. As you receive the resonant tones through the whole body, your brain waves will shift from the Beta state (alertness and concentration) to the Alpha and Theta states (relaxation and meditation). The therapeutic sounds help relieve tensions and blockages in the body and mind, clearing stagnant energies and harmonising the body's energy system. From this state, you can expect to feel the stress and tension melt away, opening a pathway to enter deep relaxation, giving the mind, body and spirit the opportunity to find healing, wisdom, and inner peace and ultimately elevate your well-being.

❤️ Reiki Energy Flow:
The ancient healing art of Reiki promotes energetic balance, releases emotional blockages, and revitalises your spirit. Feel the flow of positive energy, restoring harmony within yourself and fostering a sense of well-being.
❤️ Aromatherapy essential oil massage:
We work with the application of personalised highly vibrational and pure Essential Oils. Aromatherapy is a form of natural medicine which has beneficial effects on aligning the physical, emotional and energetic body. You will choose an oil blend that fits your needs and intentions and will receive a demonstration on how to self-apply to various parts of the body such as using effective massage techniques that help to release many healing chemicals that enhance immune function, improve circulation, and promote restful sleep. This useful practice will be a tool you can take home with you, helping to aid your healing journey.
❤️ Crystal energy healing workshop:
Katherine will introduce you to crystals and their energetic properties, focusing on how to choose a crystal, hold it and read its energy. Various crystals will be placed on or around a fully clothed person to induce deep relaxation, release stress and pain, and promote energy balance.
❤️Meditation and breathwork:
You will experience a guided meditation and gentle breathwork practice to help bring the mind and body into a place of stillness, to allow for inner reflection and expansion.
