Ammerdown 2023
The theme of our two night retreat in October was ‘Revitilise, reinvigorate, rejuvinate’ and boy, did we do that! Delwyn was joined by Ayurveda Therapist Elizebeth Sweetman and Sound healer Ali Lord for two days of gentle work focusing on the physical body with activities including meditations, drumming, vocal sound healing, yoga and stretching, deep tissue massage from Elizabeth and culminating in a full sound and gong bath from Ali.
We even found time for some walks in the beautiful grounds and woodland surrounding Ammerdown centre and were blessed with some fine weather to relax outside on breaks and over lunch. The sun even shone on us as we walked the on site Labyrinth, which turned out to be an incredibly profound and cathartic experience for everyone.
We were very well looked after by the wonderful staff at Ammerdown who were on hand, incredibly helpful and kept us well fed with wholesome, delicious food that catered to all our dietary quibbles!
It was so touching to see how openhearted our participants were and we thank them so much for being present and coming together in such a loving and supportive way. It is wonderful to hear how much they enjoyed the event and how much change and benefit they received from our short time together.
‘Attending last year’s retreat was such a resourcing experience for me and just what I needed. The gentle holding of Delwyn, Elizabeth and Ali through self-exploratory exercises and the peaceful grounds of Ammerdown were perfect for me to reconnect with the essence of myself. With huge gratitude to you all.’ J.E
