Retreats!
Here are three reviews from the June retreat – two are a repost as my first attempt offered you a black canvas! They make me yearn to be back in the valley. The connections made with each other and the land were joyous and healing 🙂
We have been enjoying some wonderful summer days and hopefully there are more to come. In September I am returning to Sycamores and invite you to join me on a heartfelt retreat to thank the Summer and prepare for Autumn
“Yvonne’s Reiki Retreat in Nature was life enhancing on so many levels – firstly the location; Sycamores in Carding Mill Valley, Shropshire is an incredible place. It is nestled in astounding bracken covered hills, teeming with birdlife and many stunning walks around the Long Mynd; the house itself is peaceful, love filled and beautifully appointed. A place to feel held by nature and the aesthetic beauty of the interiors too.
Secondly, the fabulous vegetarian food that Yvonne lovingly prepared from scratch each day – oodles of fresh salads, vegetables and fruit.
However, most importantly was Yvonne herself, her grace and wisdom fed us all, leading us in gently revealing meditations on the Reiki symbols and inviting us to dive deep into own wisdom too, whilst sharing her knowledge and experience of Reiki, Yoga and Ayurveda. Yvonne’s natural humour puts everyone at their ease and made an extremely healing and inspiring weekend enormous fun too! Blessed with 3 beautiful souls to spend the time with too, I drove home on Sunday afternoon replenished and grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you”

“This was my first retreat and I suppose I was a little unsure what to expect but on arrival everything just fell into place. What an absolutely stunning location and a simply beautiful house with Yvonne to welcome us!
The space quickly became our own and it was equally comfortable being as a group or needing time alone. Yvonne catered for us perfectly so we were well nourished in every way.
I appreciated all the planning Yvonne had put into it and valued the way she let things flow so we could grow at our own pace and discuss things at length if we needed to … I had a brilliant retreat, thank you..”

“It’s been hard for me to write this review as the whole experience from the start, during and the week following, has been extremely powerful. I’ve held it very close to my heart … I loved It.
On driving over the cattle grid to this stunning, natural, breath taking area, it took me to a new place. In fact it felt like I was going to a different life … The Sycamores Retreat.
Wow! What an experience. Yvonne was amazing. Everything she did was first class. The weekend flowed and we all grew with our practice.
I have so many memories that will stay with me. The calmness, patience, silence, togetherness, laughter, singing, chatting, sleep, wonderful food, the birds, the chimes. And the sauna! That was fun as we did reiki in it with the chants! With the sound vibrating. Wonderful. Plus so much more …
If you have never been on a retreat. This is a must. Thank you Yvonne”
