Optimising your experience: 

· Pre- requiste - As our time together in Italy is just 4 days to ensure that I can hold the best possible space for you and that you can build a connection with how I hold space and my approach to health & well-being a pre requisite of attending the retreat is that you have previously had or are committed to having at least 4 x1.1 Sessions with me before we travel.  This will allow you to optimise the experience of your Retreat.

· Even if travelling with a close friend or family member we do recommend Single Rooms as this allows everyone to have their own space to make the most of their time away.

· Alcohol- is available in the Hotel inorder to maximise the benefit of Retreat time for both yourself and others that Alcohol consumption is limited. 

·Digital Detox -  Contact details for the Hotel will be provided and I would encurage you to plan to have as much time as possible away from your phone/devices, this can also help others to switch off. 

· Photography - I don't share identifable pictures of participants on retreat and ask that the privacy of others is respected and that we are all mindful of phone & camera use and how even if the photo isn't of the individual it can impact on the space being held. 

Sacred Space

·During the Retreat you will be in circle with other attendees who may be in their own healing/ release journey. We cannot know what anyone else’s life experiences is or has been and it is important that we respect privacy, personal space, confidentiality and boundaries.

·A Retreat is a very different experience to a holiday, the space I offer on this Retreat is one of peace, harmony & balance an opportunity to escape from the busyness of everyday life. For this reason I invite everyone from they arrive at the airport to land into the space, to connect with themselves and on the journey to our venue to connect with the intention you have for the week ahead and the energy of the land that will hold you. 

·All particpants are asked to adhere to the request from the Hotel Owners that the Spa are is quiet space with areas that silence is requested. 

·Throughout the week I ask you to be aware of yourself and others and the benefit stillness and quietness can offer.
