4-day 3-night retreat  22nd – 25th August

“A New world is coming into being, and you are the architect”

The Egoic state of consciousness has reached the end – it’s reached peak madness. The suffering and destruction it creates within each of us and the world as a whole is driving millions to awaken –

If you are reading this, then you are ready. You are ready to break free from the dream of ego, step out of the drama and limitations of the voice in your head and find true liberation.

From the very outset of our 4-day mindfulness for spiritual awakening retreats, we will help you to enter the clear blue sky of Satori a state of mind free of thought, a higher state of mind from where you can break free of your conditioning, indoctrination and limited mind-made sense of self

Not only will you learn how to escape the ego’s grip, but additionally, you’ll discover how to align yourself with the Great Mind -the mind beyond your thoughts and how to overcome unhelpful patterns of behaviour, your self-imposed limitations and break free of your programming. 

Together, we’ll explore the nature of Karma and how to heal our karmic debt and consciously manifest the world of our choosing

Satori’ is the gap in the clouds to enable you to see the blue skies above”

Everything in existence appears within that great conscious mind, of which you are a tiny fragment and also ultimately the whole.

As your thinking mind quietens and space appears between our thoughts, you begin to access a state of mind beyond our understanding, beyond reason, beyond belief —the infinite mind from which all material existence arises. Indeed, this is the core of mindfulness and meditation.

Over four days, we will take you on a journey that goes nowhere and takes no time at all. A journey into the space within the atom and the space that holds the universe together.  We will transcend the analytical conditioned mind and together explore a mind beyond reason, a mind beyond understanding, a mind of infinite potential and touch the core of your being.

Historic, Deeply Spiritual Place

Willsham Hall is the most wonderful place, it is a historic and deeply spiritual site with a beautiful 11th-century church next to the grounds. High on the hill overlooking the most delightful Suffolk countryside, the site goes back to Roman times, and records of settlement at Willsham Hall predate the Saxon and Dane occupation in the 5th Century. 

Willsham is believed to be derived from Welsh Old English WieliscWylisc (West Saxon), WeliscWælisc (Anglian and Kentish); but it meant “foreign” or, more properly, “not Anglo-Saxon”. The Weilish were the original Brits, Celtic pagans who were pushed out to Wales, Cornwall (Cornwielish) and other remote areas, but some remained in East Anglia and the Fens. They spoke a different language and were regarded as outsiders – Willisham Hall is the home of the outsiders, and we are rather proud of that
