Retreat at The Wabi Sabi Sanctuary

Learn how to reawaken your natural ability, connect to the universal energy, restore your physical health, re-balance your body and soul, and detox from part of life that is not working for you.

Embark on a transformative journey at the serene Wabi Sabi Sanctuary, where you’ll learn Gendai Reiki Level 1 in a private, 1-to-1 setting that promises both learning and relaxation. Nestled amidst tall trees and styled in modern Japanese décor, this self-catering retreat is designed for personal renewal. Relax in the exclusive outdoor hot tub, immersed in nature’s tranquillity, as you unwind and prepare for your healing journey.

During this immersive course, you’ll receive personalized instruction and a powerful Reiki Attunement, connecting you to a deeper realm of healing energy. Discover techniques to heal yourself and others, building a foundation in Reiki that will enhance your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. There will be time for self-reflection and self-discovery as we program to spread your learning over two days to fully integrate this holistic practice.

Included in your retreat is a delicious, traditional Japanese lunch, specially prepared to nourish both body and soul. With exclusive use of the sanctuary’s peaceful amenities, you’ll emerge from this weekend with renewed energy, a deeper sense of balance, and the tools to continue your Reiki journey.

This retreat goes beyond just teaching Gendai Reiki; it provides a lasting foundation for inner peace and well-being that you can take into your everyday life. To help you sustain this newfound calm when you return to the busyness of daily life, we offer personalized 1-to-1 support after the retreat.

Rooted in the authentic teachings of Mikao Usui, who first shared Reiki over 100 years ago, this course brings together traditional Japanese philosophy and modern healing techniques that are perfectly suited to today’s fast-paced world. You’ll learn not only how to heal but also valuable tools for personal growth, blending timeless wisdom with practical strategies for modern life.

All of this takes place in a cozy space that beautifully reflects Japanese culture, philosophy, and aesthetics, creating an environment that enhances both learning and relaxation.

DAY 1

Imagine arriving at the edge of a serene Surrey village, where the quiet landscape blends seamlessly with the peaceful energy of The Wabi Sabi Sanctuary. As you step inside, you’re greeted with the subtle yet warm elegance of Japanese décor—a calming blend of wood, soft lighting, and simplicity. This is your space for the weekend, a haven where the noise and rush of daily life will fade away, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and embark on a profound journey of healing.

After a warm welcome and orientation, I’ll invite you to share tea with me, where we’ll talk about your intentions for this retreat. In this cozy, calm environment, you can let go of any initial tension, knowing that this weekend is entirely for you. Following an optional Reiki healing session, you’ll receive the course materials and have the chance to enjoy the sanctuary at your own pace. Whether you decide to cook a comforting meal, journal, or sink into the private outdoor hot tub, surrounded by tall trees, the evening is yours to relax and settle in.

DAY 2

On the second day, we begin with an immersive, all-day Reiki Level 1 training, focusing on the profound wisdom and techniques first taught by Mikao Usui over a century ago. You’ll be guided through understanding the nature of energy healing and how it impacts not just the physical body, but also the mind and soul. Reiki isn’t only about removing illness or pain; it’s about harmonizing your whole being, allowing you to release blockages and tune into the flow of universal energy. Throughout the day, you’ll have opportunities for self-reflection, learning, and practical exercises designed to empower you with the tools to balance your own energy and support those around you.

At the heart of this day is the Reiki Attunement, a powerful experience that connects you to the Reiki energy for the first time. This ceremony will help open up your energy channels, allowing you to sense and direct this healing force. A traditional Japanese lunch will be provided as a nourishing pause, giving you time to reflect on the morning’s learning and to recharge. If time allows, we may explore an additional healing modality to deepen your understanding of holistic well-being.

In the evening, you’ll feel the subtle yet powerful effects of your attunement, and you’re encouraged to spend the night exactly as you please. Whether you reflect on your experiences, take in the natural beauty surrounding you, or relax in the outdoor bath, the evening is open for you to fully absorb the new energy flowing within.

DAY 3

Before you leave the next morning, we’ll meet for a closing conversation over tea, giving you the chance to ask any lingering questions, reflect on your journey, and make arrangements for a follow-up Zoom session to provide continued support as you integrate Reiki into your life.

This retreat is crafted not just to teach Reiki as a skill, but to inspire a lifelong practice of self-care, inner peace, and energetic balance. Rather than relying on a practitioner, you’ll learn how to direct the universal energy yourself, an empowering, lasting skill. Whether you’re looking to ease physical pain, achieve your goals, or simply cultivate a calmer, more centered life, this retreat gives you the tools to create lasting harmony within yourself. And with additional support after your stay, we’re here to help you hold on to that peaceful balance long after you leave.

This is more than a weekend escape; it’s a meaningful step toward a life of wellness, wholeness, and calm, designed to serve you for years to come.
