    Create Space Retreats

    Create Space Retreats provide an opportunity and environment where you will be able to enhance your practice and deepen your knowledge of yoga.

    All of our retreats to date have been in beautiful rural locations. For our 10th retreat, we are breaking with tradition and we have carefully chosen this beautiful coastal site in Seaford.

    Seaford Head is a Local Nature Reserve within the Sussex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. On the brow of Seaford Head sits Florence House set in 6 acres on the edge of the South Downs National Park. It stands rock solid in the sea air and surrounding wild landscape. In many ways it’s location is a metaphor for it’s life’s purpose – a haven for the spirit; however the wind blows.

    It’s a much loved venue for life enhancing workshops and retreats as it lovingly embraces divine inspiration, the sacredness and potential of each individual, and the healing power of the landscape in which it sits.

    About the Retreat

    The retreat leaders will introduce you to aspects of philosophy and practices that are often overlooked during general classes, and there will be the opportunity for you to have direct contact with the teachers and receive guidance for your personal practice.

    The program will include 2 x Yoga classes per day; early morning, evening meditation & satsang, a walking meditation, guided walks and talks/workshops on Yoga philosophy – plus free time to appreciate the gardens and local area.

  • Transformational Dog Retreats

    Posted Feb 20th, 2012 By in Spiritual Holidays & Retreats With | No Comments

    Happy Dogs = Happy Owners!

    The first specialised training and healing retreats for dogs and owners in the world!

    Taking You and Your Dog from Where You are Now – to Where You Want to Be.

    About

    Dogs are undoubtedly “Man’s Best Friend”…

    …but often our relationship with our pets aren’t everything they could be!

    With stressful behavioural habits, mis-understandings, or well-being issues being all too common in the modern canine – a new Dog and Owner Retreat in Wales aims to change this.

    Transformational Dog Retreats take a new and holistic approach to delivering outstanding results in dog training, well-being and care.

    Utilising a range of highly effective techniques; from energy balancing to animal communication and healing, the techniques are not only transformational for the dogs – but also for the owners!

    Whilst more traditional training and well-being methods work for some; many dog owners still have problems and are looking for something that will give them a better understanding of how their dog feels and what they can do to improve their confidence, behaviour and health in a more peaceful, natural and effortless way.

    Transformational Dog Retreats help dog owners develop a fresh perspective towards their dog training, care and ownership. During the retreats, owners are encouraged to discover new ways to transform their dog’s behaviour and well-being peacefully, by learning effective ways to move forward from the present moment of ‘NOW’ – to a future of peace, abundance, happiness and wonder!

    Founder of Transformational Dog Retreats, Caroline Griffith says: “Our wide range of holistic approaches to connecting with and then working with your dog to create a happy partnerships are highly effective and rewarding for both owner and the dog. Whether you are experiencing problems, or simply want to improve your bond and relationship with your dog – our retreats are the perfect place to come”.

    Dog & Owner Retreats

    Our retreats take place in the beautiful, relaxing Welsh Carmarthen countryside.

    Offering both dog and owner a peaceful, and well earned retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Dogs stay with their owners in individual rooms, with full board organic food and drink included.

    Over the course of four days, owners and dogs will be able to take in the stunning scenery, enjoy group dog walks, receive pampering therapies, healing treatments, and take part in training and workshops including :

    The Tellington TTouch
    Animal Communication
    Arts and Crafts and Dolphin Reiki
    – which even includes a boat trip out to meet the Cardigan Bay Dolphins (with dogs in tow!).

    The retreat also includes an opportunity for owners to qualify as a practitioner of the new energy technique “The Balance Procedure”, and begin an inspiring career working with dogs and animals (or people too if they wish) -improving behaviour, well-being and life success.

  • The Creative Healing Journey with Lucinda Drayton

    Posted Nov 6th, 2011 By in Spiritual Holidays & Retreats With | No Comments

    A Residential Retreat in Scotland

    Over my many years as a singer/songwriter, I have been constantly comforted and healed by the act and process of creation.

    Even in my darkest times, I have written songs and stories. And I have danced and meditated.

    This process has healed my soul and allowed the unconscious aspects of myself to be heard and seen.

    When did you stop telling stories, dancing, drawing or writing?
    When did you last sit in complete silence listening to the voice of your own heart?

    These are not airy-fairy pursuits to me; they are ways for me to stay awake, to stay connected and to stay loving.

    If you want to change; to stop pointing the finger of blame outwards.

    If you want to discover your own depths, your own power and hear your own heart-song, unaffected by the agendas, advice or directions of others…

    Then come and join us on this incredible retreat.

    Use the beauty of Lendrick Lodge and the Scottish mountains to aid the healing process.

    Be nourished by good food and the company of others committed to waking up.
    Relax in your down time – knowing that you are not alone

    Go home with new insight, understanding and an abundance of creative energy

    Where

    Lendrick Lodge

  • The Mystery Experience – Summer Residential Retreat with Tim Freke

    Posted Sep 3rd, 2011 By in Spiritual Holidays & Retreats With | No Comments
    About the Retreat

    You can experience a spiritual awakening over the course of a weekend retreat using the groundbreaking ‘mystery method’.

    It sounds outrageous, but the vast majority of those who’ve attended a ‘mystery experience retreat’ have directly tasted the wonderful oneness and all-embracing love that naturally arises in the awakened state.

    These retreats are powerfully transformative, but extremely relaxed and great fun. They attract men and woman of all ages and backgrounds, some of whom are long-time spiritual explorers and others who are new to the possibility of awakening.

    This retreat is going to be very popular and places are limited, so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.
