Retreats
Balance your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies on a Fresh North retreat.
I deliver retreats in the UK and around the world as The Botanical Apothecary teaching reiki to master level, and together with my Sharmamama sister, Emily Owen, in our ourdoor reiki business Fresh North, delivering fun, connected magical experiences – and have done for more than four years.
I currently run two reiki training retreats per year, and a number of healing retreats with Fresh North and can also create bespoke group events tailored to your party's needs.
As a reiki master teacher in Usui Reiki and a practitioner of Seichem Reiki and Mary Magdalene Reiki, my retreats always include an element of reiki healing.
We'll also experience sound baths, breathwork, wild dipping, walks in nature, unreal community, gorgeous food and lots of fun. We truly nurture and heal your body, mind and soul from the minute we get our hands on you.
Join us for a unique experience of total soul connection, mind rejuvenation and body rebalance.
