"The knower of the mystery of sound knows the mystery of the whole universe" - Hazrat Inayat Khan
Coinciding with the beginning of summer, a few days before May Day and the Celtic Festival of Beltane, a very special time of light and enlightenment, this weekend retreat combines sound and healing techniques, the intention being for participants to find their own inner harmony. Harmony is the balanced state where our emotions, mind and bodies are in tune with our intentions. A weekend of gong baths, healing drumming, toning, chanting, voice and energy work, movement, meditation and silence - a time to find balance between being and doing to bring harmony and healing into your life, finding personal liberation and transformation through sound and light.
The retreat is open to all seekers who wish to celebrate this beautiful time of year in a special place that embodies our highest light. It is an opportunity to use sound to create joy and harmony within. Although not a pure Reiki retreat, the retreat is supported by Reiki energy in the form of Reiki Gong baths and Reiki Drumming, but is open to anyone who would like to attend.
Our retreat venue is the high vibrational centre Dev Aura (meaning House of Light) located in the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside. Dev Aura is a very special place, standing in two acres of beautifully kept extensive garden, it also houses a meditation sanctuary. The Dev Aura house is light and airy with a spacious dining room as well as two sitting rooms. Accommodation is shared. Guests are nurtured by the loving energy of this place for their entire stay. Dev Aura provides a delicious and exclusively vegetarian cuisine using produce from their own organic garden which is situated in the grounds. Dev Aura House and grounds are completely non smoking.
Cost: £270.00 includes all retreat activities, accommodation and food. You will need to make your own travel arrangements. It is advised that retreat participants take out their own insurance to protect their booking.Arrival: From 4pm onwards on Friday & depart 4 pm Sunday.
Our retreats provide an opportunity to spend time away from your every day existence to focus on yourself, consider your goals and reflect on your life. A time to attain clarity, find a renewed sense of direction and enthusiasm for life, and achieve your own inner peace.
Spending a weekend away from your everyday life to concentrate on your spiritual self is a true gift. Many of us look after our physical, emotional and mental selves and neglect to spend time on that fourth component, the spiritual. Taking time to be quiet, reflect and meditate in an environment which is specifically geared towards healing, affords retreatants the opportunity to evaluate the important things in their lives, work out life challenges, answer questions, and be inspired to make changes to benefit them in the future.
Your retreat is facilitated by Sarah Gregg, Sound Healer, Natural Therapy Practitioner and Reiki Master Teacher with thirteen years clinical and teaching experience. Sarah holds traditional Usui Japanese Reiki and Karuna Reiki® workshops and runs retreats around the UK. In 2007 she introduced the Reiki Drum Technique workshops into the UK. Her teaching reflects her interests in Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Sound Healing, Eastern Healing Arts, Buddhist Philosophy and Shamanism.
Quotes from past retreat participants:
"Thanks again for an amazing weekend, gorgeous place, great food, but most importantly, amazing love and heart vibrations, I was blissed out many times! Will be back next year!"
"I just wanted to thank you for a fabulous weekend. The inspiring content of the weekend in the tranquil Dev Aura, great teaching space, nourishing whole food and meditation gardens gave my whole being a refreshing break and real boost. I came home feeling ready to take on the world."
"The retreat at Dev Aura with Sarah was a joy forever. The place was perfect and the food superb, so it was a good start! Sarah was in top form and made the whole retreat wonderful, taking us out of our comfort zone and I learned that yes I can use my voice, it's fun and it's effective (as I found when I used my voice with a client making everything very special). As for being able to use the gongs, well that was magic and I want one in my tiny house so something will have to go! I totally recommend the whole experience!"
