Why Do This Retreat?

As busy midlife women, it is easy to get caught up in the chaos of life, juggling the to-do lists, and daily busyness, never really taking time out to stand still, come home to ourselves and check in that we are creating the life we really desire or the feelings of love, connection and joy we seek.

A retreat provides a safe space, separate from the outside world where you can have the chance (possibly the first time ever) to take a breath and listen within, whilst being held and supported to create a beautiful life that’s worth living.

A retreat provides the space, peace, connection and time for introspection so you feel reset and ready to go back to your day to day reality with a deep inner confidence of living your life with radical self love.  

A retreat allows you to connect with other like-minded women all on the same journey as you. As humans we love connection and feel supported and heard when we share within a private, confidential, safe space.

Gorgeous soul...

We live in a world that teaches us that the external world will bring us the love, peace, happiness and freedom we crave, so why do so many feel empty, not good enough, full of fear and sadness? You were designed to THRIVE in life, not just survive - this retreat will show you the true path, so you create the love, connection and deep inner joy you were born worthy and deserving of. 

Why Do This Retreat?

  • As busy midlife women, it is easy to get caught up in the chaos of life, juggling the to-do lists, and daily busyness, never really taking time out to stand still, come home to ourselves and check in that we are creating the life we really desire.
  • A retreat provides a safe space, separate from the outside world where you can have the chance (possibly the first time ever) to take a breath and listen within, whilst being held and supported to create a life that’s worth living.
  • A retreat provides the space, peace, connection and time for reflection and going within, so you have the skills and tools to support your growth as an incredible purpose driven woman.  
  • A retreat allows you to connect with other like-minded women all on the same journey as you. As humans we love connection and feel supported and heard when we share within a private, confidential, safe space.
  • That little voice inside that keeps asking what you’re here for WILL get louder the more you ignore it, fueling that disconnect between who you present to the world and who you are inside. A retreat offers you the space to let that voice be heard and feel safe to let it guide you in life.
  • We live in a world that teaches us that money, success, achievement, recognition is what brings happiness in life, so why is it that so many feel empty, directionless and “just getting through life”? You were designed to THRIVE in life, not just SURVIVE - a retreat will show you the path, so you create the real success and happiness you crave.

THE only way to create this deep inner joy is to discover real self love

Meet us, Your Retreat Hosts -

di hill

I am a Transformation Coach for highly driven women, Energy Healer and International Best Selling Author of the book “Authentic, Aligned and Abundant”,  whose passion in life is to support you to grow into the person you were always designed to be.

I am delighted that you have said YES to this life changing retreat as I know that your life will never be the same afterwards.

It is an honor to support you on your journey of discovering the true path to loving the self, so you create an incredible life, all from the energy of love. 

My role this weekend is to hold space and support you from a place of love, grace and reverence as you rise up and awaken the powerful divine energy of love you hold within to unleash the most beautiful life, all from the frequency of love.

I promise you, that after this weekend, you will have a deep sense of knowing what radical self love really is, release the wounding and conditioning that blocked the energy that we are designed to experience life from, and be able to embody, integrate and experience life from this most beautiful frequency.

How do I know this?

Because for 40 years I didn't love myself or truly understand what self love really was. I lived according to who I thought I "should be". I continutally judged myself, second guessed myself, felt "not good enough" and couldn't work out why love felt like a prize to be won and was scared I would never truly feel it, or keep hold of it!.

When I chose to awaken my heart and walk the path of truly loving myself wholly and completely, my life became magical. I want this for you too.
