This is a very special retreat, a rare chance to push the reset button and escape the world to find real peace of mind and learn the skills to take it back into your everyday life
I have booked 6 bungalows ( please note this retreat will sell out quickly because of the very small number of people able to attend) on the amazing Koh Rong which is famous for its serene beauty. Often described as an 'island paradise' an island off Cambodia
The retreat is for six nights and there will be a full itinerary of workshops, and mediations both sitting and walking. Most activities/workshops will take place outside to make the most of the beautiful surroundings. Afternoons will be free for you to relax, swim and take part in activities like snorkeling or canoeing
The retreat will consist of all things to enable total peace of mind including Mindfulness stress reduction techniques, meditation skills, yoga, breathing techniques, self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-love, and finding keeping happiness workshops plus many many more
You will also learn how to
• Handle difficult emotions with greater ease
• Motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
Learn the body scan and awareness of breath, to help relax, release tension, and use the breath as an aid for pain management.
• Become aware of gentle, restorative mindful movement techniques
• Learn how to use mindfulness in daily life, and pacing techniques to live with more awareness, and overcome the tendency to overdo it on good days, and collapse on bad days.
• Learn how to overcome the negativity bias of attention and live with gratitude and cultivate joy in the small pleasures of life.
I have chosen this location because of its isolation from the modern in order to disconnect from the chaos of modern-day life. Consequently, the accommodation reflects this, there is no wi-fi, little signal for mobile phones, very few roads and the electricity is only on for 12 hours a day. You access the island via a speed boat
A little about the island.
..Koh Rong is an island in the Sihanoukville Province of Cambodia. It’s known for its sandy coves and coral reefs. Inland, the dense jungle terrain is dotted with coconut palms and waterfalls.
The price is just an amazing £449 for an ensuite bungalow with a double bed and breakfast
(excluding flights and transfers, which can be organized for you)
£50 is required to book ( full payment 8 weeks before the retreat), please register your interest and I will be in contact with details of how to pay

The Self -Esteem and Personal Effectiveness Retreat with Fireworks (Biggest 5th Nov Event in the World - Lewes) 4 - 8 November 2024
Lacking confidence?
Need to find your life purpose?
Self sabotaging your own success?
This is the life changing retreat of your dreams
I am combining this life changing Empowerment Retreat with the biggest celebration of November 5th in the world in order for you to supercharge your life with a BANG!
Prepare to move from inspiration into action and be transformed as a result.
The Fire and Light Empowerment Retreatis a one-of-a-kind retreat that takes you up to that next level – that really juicy, self-fulfilling, “on fire” level – and not spend weeks, months or years trying to figure it out.
Never feel the need to prove your worth ever again.
Be conscious of your purpose and clear on how to take meaningful action on it.
It sounds too good to be true. There is a common experience where we suffer from high levels of stress and pressure to meet unending demands. Constant change, fierce competition, and overloaded schedules create overwhelm.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Step out of the daily noise, unplug, and find your inner wisdom that can breathe new fire into your life.
# Learn how to stop self sabotaging your life
# Learn how to face your fears and have the life you have always wanted
# Speak and act with confidence
# Stop prograstination once and for all
#Learn how to choose the goals in life you want and achieve them
# Increase your self esteem and personal power
A little about the Lewes fifth celebrations-
" Lewes, the mother of all Bonfire Nights"
The undisputed champion of 5th November is Lewes.
On top of the fireworks, effigies, and blazing processions (no less than thirty) with one featuring seventeen burning crosses -one for every martyr- the residents of Lewes race through the town to the River Ouse while dragging burning tar barrels
There are more than 30 processions through the narrow streets, starting at around 5 p.m. and going all night. Each procession has their own traditions, costumes, bonfires, fireworks and fire displays. The friendly rivalry between the processions keeps the night interesting, as they spend the whole year preparing in advance.
I have booked a four bedroom house for the retreat in a close by costal village
Cost is just £399 for five days and four nights (Monday to Friday) bed and breakfast
There is one twin bed room which is £249
