What Happens on My In-Person Retreats - You Are Invited!
Picture this:
You arrive to the retreat centre and you immediately feel at home (it’s called ‘Homecoming’ for a reason, you know). It feels peaceful and spacious, and as you drop your bags at the door and admire the jaw-dropping views from the ‘sun room’, something in you relaxes.
‘I made it and it feels so right.’
You go into your room (check this one out) and have some space to breathe and recover from your journey.
This is the ‘play room’ where all the exploration and magic takes place.
The dinner is on the table at 6pm. The smell, the colours, the abundance – it’s a sight to behold. We gather together and share a home-made meal cooked from a scratch with so much love that every bite feels like medicine.
After dinner, you have a little time to unwind. There are beautiful countryside walks as soon as you step out of the gate or you could jump into a hot-tub to decompress and let the jets soothe your aching muscles. You might have a cuppa with someone or choose to sit alone in the peaceful garden and rest.
Our first evening session is sheer magic. You’ll experience the intention constellation process (it’s also got a long name: Identity Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy). Each participant gets to have an individual process in the course of the weekend, where other people represent parts of you. It’s an incredibly embodied practice that moves stuck energy like nothing else does. Embodiment and presence are big parts of this experience so throughout the weekend we do exercises that help you be present and in your body, accompanied by the most gorgeous and inspiring music you can think of.
Let me tell you a little bit about constellations. I’ve been doing them religiously since 2009, at first as a participant and then as a facilitator. In my experience it’s one of the most potent tools for healing I’ve ever experienced.
I’m not the only one though who thinks that way. The most common thing I hear the participants say to each other by the end of each retreat: ‘You are not the same person who walked through that door 4 days ago.’
Here’s what Elin said after attending my January retreat:
“Gulara creates and holds the perfect space for a catalystic retreat. The food is delicious, the scenery is stunning and the company of beautiful, courageous women is nurturing and inspiring. Full spectrum emotions, we all laughed and cried and connected with ourselves and each other. I’m not the same woman I was before. It is the start of something rather than an end - like a vector of transformation! I only hope I can continue what has begun... I would highly recommend Gulara’s retreat to anyone feeling stuck or burdened, isolated or lost, confused or even just curious about the possibility of change. Gulara radiates the practices she teaches and just to behold her great light and strength for a few days is vitalising and unforgettable.”
We finish the evening with a poem, something that awakens you and deepens the transformation that you’ve experienced during the day. Something like this.
And that was day 1.
If you need to shift something big in your life, something that burdens you and keeps you stuck, come to my retreat held in glorious Dartmoor National Park. You’ll be pampered and loved up into wholeness. The holding and nurture are truly life changing.

“The weekend was utter perfection, honestly. I feel so complete and bewitched by all the magic of life. Maybe the big shit is still to come but I was up early to meditate on the magic and how blown away I am. Beautiful honest talks with my partner. Family feel healed too. My jaw was a HUGE piece and yet you shifted something I have been sitting with and thought would take years. You are so gifted. And I love you. And your wholeness. What a BLESSED JOY to find you. We journey on……. 🤍🤍🤍 See you sooooooooooooon!!!”
