What's on: 9 May

Visiting Morocco is an immediate and exciting immersion into another world. It is home to a colourful blend of African, Arabic and European cultures. From the bustling and colourful souks of Marrakesh to the clear air and Berber villages of the dramatic Atlas mountain range. Morocco is the perfect destination for our retreat.

The purpose of this retreat is to integrate our soul purpose with spiritual wisdom to enhance and enrich our lives. We will work with both the spirit and the soul, bringing together two major aspects of spiritual development. This is a rare opportunity to experience working with Demian and Gary leading this powerful life enhancing retreat in beautiful Morocco.

During this retreat you will experience:

• Ceremony: as we bring in our intention to create sacred space for us to work in
• Path working: journeying in to the subconscious to explore any blocks that might be holding us back
• Visualisations: to enhance consciousness and self- awareness
• Magical rituals: to invoke the different energies we will be working with
• Exploration of what soul and spirit means to us individually and as a group
• Astrological knowledge working with Neptune and Pluto in conjunction with the spirit and the soul
• A powerful meditation under the stars
• Higher psychic awareness
• A fun and uplifting environment
• A chance for you to reclaim your soul and spirit in a magical way

This is an opportunity for you to have a deeper understanding of how the cosmos works and an ability to use this knowledge to further your own psychic development and ignite a new you. There is a big difference between a retreat and a holiday. We come a way from our habitual surroundings and dynamics, in order to facilitate deep and lasting change . The work that happens here is powerful. The retreat is driven by the needs of the time and what individuals bring, and so will be run on a very flexible format.
