Wow I don’t even know where to start – This being my first retreat was a blessing and a curse, a blessing because I had the most profound experience, a curse because I don’t think any other retreat will EVER live up to this one. Philippa was incredible at holding a safe container and had an abundance of knowledge in each workshop she hosted. There was a great variety of activities/workshops, the perfect amount of people (it was not overwhelming at all) and the whole experience was done with ease. I felt held through each movement and moment. The energy Philippa radiates is nurturing, loving and wholesome. I highly recommend to ALL people, whether you’re experienced or a beginner on your journey; her retreats will certainly give you insight and a magical experience. Thank you so much Philly for this opportunity to develop as a person and to meet more soul sisters along the way.

Before the retreat I just knew I was in a crap place mentally, but just couldn’t find the release I needed. During, I can’t even word it. It was everything I needed and more. The SETTING, PEOPLE, ENGERY, SUPPORT, THE LOVE!! I was starting to feel it all and I felt like I was having the awakening my mind and body so desperately wanted and needed. My feelings after the retreat, other than the fact I was gutted it was over:( I was so relaxed and clear minded, literally a feeling I don’t think I had felt in a very long time. I have so many memories from my time at the retreat that I will cherish forever. A few stand out moments were the 8 new beautiful souls I shared the experience with, the first yoga session we all did together (the first ever yoga class I enjoyed!) The day spent at the waterfall and the magical practice at the end of the week where we each received love and healing from one another. Overall, magical in every possible way and definitely the release I was searching for.

Before the retreat I was suffering from burn out and feeling like giving up my career completely. I had lost my drive for my job and also my life, so I didn't hesitate when I saw the Nature of You Retreat. I absolutely loved the morning meditation and yoga. I thought that would have been the part that I would have enjoyed the least but taking 3 or so hours in the morning to breathe, move, reflect and just be still amongst 8 other wonderful women was exactly what I needed. But what I enjoyed even more was the Kali Ma experience. Since coming back to real life, delving into life and work I gave a total mind shift. I am pushing for things that I only ever hoped for and I fear so much less than ever. I have converted that fear and anxiety into strength, self belief and power. I also loved being so deep into nature, the land, the water and the fresh air. It was the most transformative experience of my life and I would do it again without hesitation.

I came into the retreat feeling at a real low point, lost and having recently handed in my notice of my unfulfilling corporate IT job. Being in this real unknown space of what’s next, it felt like such a full body yes when the opportunity presented itself to join along to the Nature of You Retreat. I’d been feeling worried and anxious for weeks on end but during the retreat I came to a real place of peace, feeling centred and trusting in myself and what next for me on this journey. My favourite part of the retreat was the powerful Goddess Kali Ma Drum Journey that Philippa Guided us upon, on the final evening of the retreat. Such a full power force of strength and movement really propelled itself into my life after that journey ~ wow! Since then I’ve started working with Goddess Kali and have felt some real energetic change starting to unfold within my life. I had so much space open up during and after the retreat, where my creativity has been fully turned on.
