Life Reset Retreat: Reawaken Your Life - Lindley, in West Yorkshire - 3 Oct - 5 Oct 2025
Details
It's time to shake up your life this autumn, re-awaken the inner you, to the life you should be living. Stop existing, jump out of autopilot and start to thrive.
It's not only moving that creates new starting points. Sometimes all it takes is a subtle shift in perspective, an opening of the mind, an intentional pause and reset, or a new route to start to see new options and new possibilities. Kristin Armstrong

The Light Within: Meditation & Inner Radiance Retreat.Varanasi, India - 1 Oct 2026 - 7 Oct 2026
Varanasi has long been a place where seekers come to connect with the eternal. This retreat invites you into that same timeless current, guiding you on a journey to rediscover the radiant spark within. Over seven days, you’ll be supported in turning inward, slowing down, and awakening to the quiet brilliance that lives at your core.
Through some meditation, reflective practices, and heart-opening exercises, you’ll gently shed the layers that keep you from your authentic self. The retreat offers space to explore stillness, clarity, and the sense of inner light that remains untouched by the fluctuations of daily life.
Drawing inspiration from the sacred fire rituals, chants, and spiritual rhythm of the city, we’ll use symbolism and simple practices to deepen our own transformation. The “light within” becomes not only a metaphor but also an experience — a steady flame of awareness that you can return to again and again.
Alongside guided sessions, there will be quiet opportunities to integrate what arises. Gentle moments of silence, journaling, or simply witnessing the life of the city become part of the retreat’s unfolding wisdom. Varanasi itself, with its ancient presence, acts as both backdrop and teacher.
As the week unfolds, you’ll be invited to notice the shift — from seeking your light outside yourself to recognizing that it has always been within you. This retreat is less about adding new layers, and more about uncovering what has always been there.
By the end of your time in Varanasi, you will leave with a renewed sense of clarity, presence, and inner radiance. “The Light Within” is an invitation to carry your own illumination forward — a guiding flame that lights your path long after the retreat has closed.
Accomodation
I have booked 7 rooms in the Hotel Surya which was built in 1818, it used to be a royal palace of an ancient Nepali king. Located in Varanasi, it has an outdoor pool, a large lawn area and a full service spa.
Price is just £699 for Luxury Room with Balcony inclusive of Breakfast
(Transfers, excursions and flights not included)
£50 is required to book ( full payment 6 weeks before the retreat), please register you interest and I will be in contact with details of how to reserve your place

You’ll wander ancient courtyards, share tea in monastery gardens, and experience the warmth of Nepali hospitality—all while giving yourself the gift of stillness and reflection. Each day offers space to breathe, create, and simply be.
By the end of the retreat, you’ll leave not only with memories of the Himalayas but also with a renewed sense of spaciousness, clarity, and purpose. This is more than a retreat—it’s a journey above the clouds and into the clear sky of your own heart.
