The retreat workshops are designed to transform your life through exploration of empowering tools you can easily take away and use at home. Through mindful, conscious and focused activities, you’ll leave with direction, clarity and greater self-awareness.

All workshops and evening meditations will be guided by retreat facilitator Naomi Rowan. Workshops will include:

• Values and Beliefs: Grounding, tuning-in and removing obstacles

• Healing the past: Gratitude, relationships, self love and compassion

• Conscious and transformational change: Intuition, manifesting, decision making and moving forwards

When you arrive, you’ll receive a beautiful booklet to guide your journey, not only during the retreat, but for when you transition back into your life.

Every day, you’ll practice a gentle combination of Yin Yoga and Hatha Yoga. All sessions will take place in our stunning openair yoga sala.

During this retreat, you'll also enjoy a variety of meditations - some as longer and individual sessions, others at appropriate moments in a workshop to truly feel into the topic being addressed. Meditations will include: Sound Bowl meditation journey, Inner-Child meditation, Guided Imagery and Music meditation.

Naomi Rowan “Everything is energy, everything is vibration.”

Formally a music teacher and pastoral leader of 12 years, my ‘previous’ life was  focused on bringing young people into alignment with themselves, developing confidence, nurturing self-worth and enabling children to find their creative energies, so often quashed by the ‘need to achieve and succeed’.

Having taken a leap of faith and left a stable career to pursue a lifetime passion for mindfulness, meditation and energetic healing modalities I am now a Reiki Master/Teacher, Sound Bowl practitioner and retreat leader, and fortunate to be in a position to combine the tools and experience of the teaching profession with my core beliefs and practices. 

Trauma informed and trauma aware, I have read, digested and assimilated current and historic writings surrounding the concept of the body-mind connection, whether neuroscientific, energetic, physiological or psychological.  I believe that modern science is only now beginning touch the surface of ancient wisdom and through engagement in daily awareness of our thoughts, bodily sensations, intuition, actions and reactions, we are able to retrain our habitual patterns into a life of gratitude, love and compassion towards self and other.

Through my own journey, I have explored various modalities and found many tools along the way that enable individual empowerment.  All of our retreats are carefully planned and tailored to ensure a gentle, yet powerful journey of self, and time to explore how these take-away tools can be incorporated and embedded into your daily life once you leave the safe bubble of ‘time out’.
