WHY NOT HOST YOUR OWN RETREAT AND GET YOUR PLACE FOR FREE?

If you have a great space to use, for you and upto 5 friends (in one space) then get in touch, as we can work together to help you run your own retreat.

I’ll work with you to create the right environment, get ready for the retreat, and even price up for food and accommodation options if you want to offer the full package.

Then you invite people (I can help you market it), you host the space, I hold the sessions via Zoom and together we can create a safe, but magical retreat, ideal for these times.

If you are interested drop me a line on gilliesutherland73@gmail.com and we can arrange a time to chat it through
