Ipsa
[ˈɪp.sə] noun, Latin
She herself; the original essence of a woman before the world told her who to be. The self that was always there, underneath everything.
25th - 27th September 26 | Gloucestershire
When we first come into this world, we are born with this inner light — a pure soul that shines bright from within. But as we travel through this lifetime, this spark begins to dim. Emotions, traumas, mean words and hurtful experiences cause us to put up barriers, to stay quiet, to hide our light — to protect ourselves from pain.
Stressful jobs, the pressures of life — family, bills, the weight of expectation — they all pile up so high that we can lose sight of our light, of our true essence, and forget the self that we were born to be.
This is a weekend retreat to refind your light.
To refind your Ipsa — the original essence of yourself before the world told you who to be.
Our Offerings
Sound healing is the application of sound waves to or around a person's being to encourage the body to attune itself to its original state of wellness and optimum functionality. Sound healing can improve memory and the speed of recovery, reduce stress and anxiety, calm the mind and nervous system, improve the immune system, and reduce inflammation.
Reiki is an energy healing technique that seeks to promote wellbeing by balancing energy in the body and energy field to reduce stress, encourage relaxation and decrease physical pain. Reiki activates your parasympathetic nervous system and induces a deep relaxation response, encouraging you to heal spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally.
Kundalini activation is the process of awakening dormant spiritual energy, that resides at the base of the spine, and its ascent through the chakras (energy centers) towards the crown of the head. This process removes energetic blockages, brings about profound personal transformation, and spiritual awakening.
A weekend of hands-on energy work, ritual, ceremony, meditation, journalling, energetic workshops and more, in the Gloucestershire countryside, with plant-based meals cooked by a dedicated retreat chef.
If you are looking for a fresh start, you're in the right place.
You will leave different to how you arrived. Not fixed. Not transformed into someone new.
Just more yourself. More awake. Clearer on what you're done with and what you're ready for.
I was scared at first to try a kundalini awakening session as I’d seen online the movement and if felt a bit “far-fetched”, I trusted Georgie and her skills and booked an online session with her.
The session itself created space for my mind to quieten and for my body to speak. To say I left the session changed wouldn’t be quite right: it opened me up for my life to begin to change for the better around me - conversations, decisions, awareness. To feel more at the central seat of my life rather than at the behest of it.

I recently had an online Reiki session with Maii, and it was nothing short of magical. Despite being virtual, her calming presence came through so strongly, creating a deeply relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. During the session, I could feel the energy flow, and by the end, I experienced a sense of clarity and balance that stayed with me long after. If you're considering remote Reiki, Maii is incredible. She has a true gift for connecting and creating a healing space, even from afar. Highly recommend!

Wanted to say thanks again for Sunday. As you said so hard to articulate.... but whatever Sunday was... I know I needed it and it was amazing and interesting! So thank you...Also I feel like I’ve done a gym work out... my muscles were all aching (in a good way!) and felt like l’d done an Abs stomach work out too! Thanks again and hopefully I can make the next one!

There is no such thing as a healer.
No retreat, no practitioner, no modality, method or carefully curated programme can do this for you.
The power to change your life is not outside you. It has always been within you.
What this weekend creates is the conditions. The stillness. The safety. The space in which the woman underneath all the noise can finally be heard.
This is for you if…
You're burnt out, stressed, anxious, overwhelmed.
Your work life balance is off and your energy is on the floor.
You feel the pull of this and you don't entirely know why.
You're ready to stop waiting for the right moment.
You want to be held in a small group of women where there is space for you to be really yourself.
You want to come home with something real. Not just a memory of a nice weekend, but an actual shift. Tools you'll use. A clarity you can feel.
