I am very excited to have taken part in the the Kindred Spirits Retreat which took place at Woodbrooke, Selly Oak, Birmingham on 3rd June 2023. It was a fully inclusive day & evening retreat with lunch, supper and refreshments throughout which had been crafted to encourage rest and relaxation, allowing attendees to focus on themselves in a nurturing environment.
We gathered a wonderful collaboration of local Therapists, Teachers, Masters and Practitioners to create this beautiful experience. Some of our attendees wanted to use this retreat as an opportunity to connect with other like-minded souls whilst others chose to reconnect with themselves – whatever they were looking to gain from the experience, there was something for everybody.
This Retreat was created with the wants and needs of our attendees in mind and our priority was to create an experience which could be enjoyed by all who joined us. Our guests were able to take part in as much or as little as they wanted. They were invited to join our workshops, talks and activities with no pressure or expectations. There were two different yoga sessions, guided meditation, a healing sound bath, holistic treatments of their choice and an experiential workshop. There was even the opportunity for a spot of retail therapy with our pop-up shop of holistic gifts.
With unrestricted access to the stunning grounds throughout the day, it was the perfect setting for mindful walks, meditation or quiet moments spent simply reading or taking time out to sit & reflect on one of the secluded benches dotted throughout.
We were so lucky as the weather was very kind to us with the sun shining all day long – this meant that the majority of the experiences were able to take place outdoors in Mother Nature. I myself carried out my Reiki sessions in a tranquil corner of the gardens where all that could be heard were the sounds of nature.
The most perfect day ended with a walk down to the campfire where we all sat wrapped up cosy and warm in blankets whilst sipping at a hot cuppa. Stories were shared, emotions released and friendships formed as we all came together and reflected on the last 12 hours.
We’ve received so many lovely messages and such positive feedback which has truly touched our hearts. We couldn’t have wished for a better day. Everything about the retreat was perfect and we feel that we would be doing a huge disservice to so many people if we didn’t offer this kind of experience again.
