WELCOME TO GOOD FOR THE SOUL RETREAT 2022
We have come together to create a magical day to completely replenish you at all levels of your being – body, mind, heart and soul. 11 practitioners in the fields of wellbeing, psychology, body work, energy healing, shamanism, coaching and mindfulness have combined forces to bring you joy and healing, in the most beautiful setting.
My work as a retreat facilitator over the last 15 years has taught me that beauty is a healing for the soul in its own right. Combine it with time out, space to be yourself with like-minded people, restorative practices and reflective practices and you have the perfect formula for gentle transformation.
We are so excited to welcome you to YOUR day – YOUR time out for you, to rest, reset and refocus, while having a load of fun.

Good for the Soul Retreat is co-organised by:
THE DAY
In creating our programme for the day, we wanted to honour all aspects of the human being – body, mind, heart, soul. The programme allows you to choose from three workshops in each of these four areas, so that you create your own path through the day. Additionally, you can choose to give yourself extra love and support by working with one of our therapists who are stationed around the Sculpture Park in areas of particular beauty to create just the right setting for you to heal and gain clarity on life.
Health is our greatest gift – we often only appreciate it once it has been compromised. Choose from the three workshops that allow gentle and liberating movement for your body. Moving your body moves your emotions at the same time.
Our minds are powerful creators of our reality. Whether you want to build your self esteem, create more resilience or understand the power of your thoughts, spending time on your mind will pay great dividends.
Connecting with your heart enables you to hear the sound of your own inner guidance. Dropping out of your head, your fear and possibly even ego, you learn to listen to your personal truth. These workshops aim to facilitate that heart connection.
As we come towards the end of our programme, we need time to integrate and settle into our new found learnings. These three workshops provide you with ways to refine what you’ve discovered without further thinking. Let your soul guide you.

THE TESTIMONIALS
It was my first retreat so I didn't know what to expect. I found the welcome was warm and our activities structured in a gently guided sort of way. A highlight for me was working through a couple of stuck issues and I came home with renewed emotional strength and a refreshed body. Everything I could have asked for and more. I had a Reiki session which was fabulous. I will be going again...
I am so happy I finally made it to one of your retreats 🙂 – extremely relaxing and beneficial in so many ways. The programme included everything that I would have wanted and it was lovely to be with people that I felt so comfortable with. It was great to have the time to reflect and receive guidance – a very special experience.
