Rural Retreats
During times of stress, loss or change in your life, you may not know whether you need coaching, counselling or healing. In the peaceful, hillside retreat that is Gorwallt Fach, you have access to all of these, just as you need them.
Our Rural Retreats offer truly bespoke, person-centred support to enable you to heal your life and take control of important – possibly life-changing - decisions, at a time when you may not even be aware that you have choice. The intimacy of the personal development work, and the sensitivity of the environment, mean we can only offer the Retreat to one or two people at a time.
What makes a Retreat here such a special experience, is its unique combination of place and personal development.
The Place:
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ‘just get way from it all’ for a few days, without the hassle of travelling abroad or the stress of being surrounded by strangers?
Would you like to get back to a place and time that is so simple and easy, that you can take stock of who you are and what is most important to you in life?
Do you need total privacy to really wind down and reawaken your creativity?
Then Gorwallt Fach is for you.
The ancient stone farmhouse, two wild acres and a little stream offer quiet sanctuary and space to think. There are views out to 40 miles, and at night you can see all the stars.
Locally sourced food and our own spring’s water are part of the welcome you’ll feel here. (Coffee, tea and wine – though – come from farther a-field. As do most of the jokes!)
As an experienced executive and life coach, I offer a wide range of practical processes and tools, such as NLP, Action-Planning for Success and Myers-Briggs’ personality profiling.
On a more personal and inter-personal level, we can explore a variety of approaches that best meet your needs and preferred style. These may include visioning and visualistion, psychosynthesis, Attitudinal Therapy (deep relaxation with guided positive imagery), Transactional Analysis or Gestalt therapy.
At a deeper level still, working on your emotional and spiritual needs as well as helping dispel long-held physical stress and pain, you can choose to experience daily sessions of Reiki-Master energy for deep relaxation and healing.
The amount of ‘Self-work’ you do during the retreat is for you to choose, as is when you come here and how long you stay.
(N.B. It will take a minimum of 2 days to reach the level of relaxation and trust necessary to gain some benefit. The intensity of the work we do limits your stay to a maximum of 4 days…. And you can always choose to come back again!)
Bill, busy owner of Ski Equipment business and recently widowed, wrote of his time here:
"When I arrived I was quite stressed out and had not been feeling well for some weeks. I started feeling better after the first Reiki session and much better after the second. By the time I drove home on Monday I was feeling better, mentally and physically than I have done for a long time. Was it the peace, the company or the Reiki? Who knows, but something about the weekend worked for me."
