Treatments and Retreats
Essene Reiki Treatments
Combining many years experience in traditional Usui Reiki with the spiritual practices of the Essene Theraputae and Celtic Christians, Dee embodies a uniquely powerful source of healing energy. Her sessions induce a wonderfully deep sense of peace and connectedness.
Essene Reiki treatments at Gorwallt Fach are unique, made special by the ancient site with its stream, ley lines and healing vortex. Within the natural stone walls of the house and barn, Dee is able to channel the full Reiki Master Energy, whilst drawing on the strong Earth energies of this magical place.
This wonderful combination results in an intensely moving, spiritual experience that leaves you feeling relaxed, rested and revived.
Sessions last for at least an hour and a quarter and cost £50.
If you are unable to get to Gorwallt Fach, please talk to me about how I can bring the benefits of these treatments to you in person, or by Distance Healing.
Please look at our WORKSHOPS page, if you're thinking of learning Reiki, or Essene Reiki, for your Self.
My Reiki Lineage and History
I share one of the shortest Reiki lineages of any Reiki Master Teacher in the United Kingdom.
The Usui Master Energy was passed, orginally from Mikao Usui, to Dr Chijuro Hayashi, thence to Hawayo Takata, to Phyllis Lie Furumoto, to Marta Getty, to Valerie Ives and to me, Dee Ramsayer.
I received the Essene Attunement in Wales in 1992, whilst studying "Attitudinal Therapy" with Ellen von Einem. Completing Reiki 1 in 1993 and Reiki 2 in 1994, I became a Reiki Master Teacher in September 1998, after an 18-month apprenticeship.
Breakthrough 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 "Breakthrough 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 these Retreats to one or two people at a time.
What makes a "Breakthrough Retreat" here such a special experience, is its unique combination of place, peace 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 way of living that is so simple, peaceful 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 during the day. Evenings are spent in the peaceful, well-catered walls of "Eirianfa", the quality Four Star Bed and Breakfast in the village below (Llanrhaeadr Ym Mochnant).
Knowing that all your needs will be taken care of at the end of the day, in an environment that is as soothing as our own, means we are able to focus more finely on what you have come here to achieve.
Daily 'routine' (as much as there is one) starts at 10:30 when, after a leisurely breakfast, you are 'whisked' up the valley to Gorwallt Fach. Over coffee, we'll review where you are in relation to achieving your aims for your time here, and then plan the coaching and healing 'programme' for the day. As we work very much 'in the moment', responding to emotions, blocks and breakthroughs as they occur, this plan may well change as we progress through the day. Whatever happens, we promise to include about 4 hours of one-to-one support each day - in whichever form best meets your needs - and a full Reiki session.
We provide lunch, and treats throughout the day.
There are plenty of useful books and tapes for you to use during your time here and you will receive hand-outs and other relevant support material for reference when you get back home. There'll be time for you to make use of the house and grounds here, to walk, to rest, to sit and think - or just sit.
THE APPROACH
As an experienced and empathetic life and executive coach, I am able to offer a wide range of practical processes and tools, such as Action-Planning for Success, Career Anchors (values inventory) and Myers-Briggs’ personality profiling.
On a more personal and inter-personal level, we can explore a variety of 'right brain' 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, Divination (as used by Carl Jung) and 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 Essene Reiki (Master level) 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 maximum 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!)
Hannah attended our latest retreat at the end of April 2009. She sent these thoughts: "I came to Gorwallt Fach seeking to recharge my batteries and learn ways to cope better with a full schedule of work and community activism that was leaving me drained. I also wanted to spend some time focusing on my purpose and building my confidence to deal with leadership and responsibility. I couldn't have asked for a better location to get away from it all, or a better companion to restore my energy and gently challenge my limiting assumptions. Dee's spectrum of skills and knowledge – as a healer, life coach and organisational change agent – meant her approach was subtly tailored to fit each issue. Myers-Briggs personality profiling gave me some surprising insights into what makes me tick. Tools like Action-Planning for Success, and creating a workable daily timetable to use back at home, helped me deal more effectively with life's practical details. Meanwhile, intuitive approaches like divination and storytelling reached the parts that the rational brain can't always make sense of... and Reiki gradually released long-held tensions, leaving me feeling more relaxed and flexible both physically and mentally. Not forgetting Dee's delicious cooking (choosing all the ingredients so that I only ate my favourite foods was a fantastic treat) – and of course the calming and playful company of Bess the sheepdog. All in all, a very special 4 days which I think may well turn out to have been a key turning point in my life."
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."
