Some Testimonials from our Retreat in May 2023:
"It was a retreat full of joy, beauty and wonderful energy. Sarah's subtle but powerful teachings of asana and meditation along with the complementary practices by the other contributors made this a really transformative experience for me. I can't wait to go back next year for more. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody who wishes to deepen their understanding and connection to the present moment and also to continue on their journey of/to self-discovery." SB
"Honestly, it was such a magical weekend. It was so nice to do something different (creativity session), the Kirtan was AMAZING, and the beach/location was just beautiful. I absolutely loved how much time we had to ourselves as well. I thought the breaks between each part of the day was just the perfect amount of time. Definitely will put my name down for next year and I will get it pencilled into my diary." AE
“Just wanted to say thank you so much for such a wonderful weekend. It was absolutely perfect for my first retreat I didn’t really know what to expect but it was even better than I could have imagined! I loved everything about it from the stunning location, the practices we did, the delicious food and you even managed to sort the weather! The Kirtan was just something else I absolutely loved it! I feel so grateful and lucky to have been a part of it so thank you for making it so special. If you do have contact with the centre please can you pass on my thanks for such delicious wholesome food and never once a worry about nuts! This is so appreciated as it’s always a worry and it was so kind of them to cater for that I really appreciated it.” KF

Summer Solstice
Retreat on the Magical Isle of Anglesey
Friday 20th June to Sunday 22nd June 2025
I am very pleased to be able to invite you to join me for a retreat on my home island of Anglesey this coming June.
This weekend we will be coming together to celebrate the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year.
We will investigate the interconnectedness of Nature and the significance of giving and receiving, making our acquaintance with Maha Lakshmi, the Goddess of Abundance and Good Fortune.
There will be enlivening pranic exercises, honouring the sacred fire within, with time for asana, meditation, chanting, and creativity. You will also have free time to enjoy the Anglesey coast, perhaps swimming, and weather permitting, we shall have a fire by the seashore...
And of course, there will be many opportunities to connect with each other!
Venue:
The weekend is to be held at Outdoor Alternative which is a centre on the south coast of Anglesey. It sits on a headland looking over towards the mountain range of Snowdonia and is just a few minutes from a wonderful beach and a small quiet cove. There are plenty of places to enjoy asana practice, meditation, fires, beautiful night skies and having some fun. And you can always find somewhere quiet for a little alone time if you need it too.
Initial Retreat Details:
Arrivals for the retreat are from 4pm onwards on the Friday afternoon and the retreat finishes at 1.30pm after lunch on Sunday.
We have use of a whole house at the centre where there is simple, comfortable, shared accomodation. Below the bedrooms there is a good-sized kitchen/dining room for meals, which is well-maintained and airy, with seated areas available.
The meals would be a self-serve breakfast, and a wonderful lunch and a three course evening meal which would be prepared for us.
Outside there is a fabulous yurt which we can use for practice, although there will be times when we will head to the headlands and beach instead.
The overall cost will be £320 and the number of places are limited to 14 and so if you wish to join us for this time away please email me at sarahbeck042@gmail.com initially to express your interest.
Then if a place is available, you will need to send me a deposit of £50 to secure your place, with the remainder to paid by 5th April 2025. For the refund policy please see here.
