‘Joy is an intense, burning, totally loving mirror to yourself, a force of nature, she finds the key to open the door to the truth of you, behind the mask.

I  have noticed the dissolving of a subtle cocoon I had wrapped myself in of mostly unconscious protection mechanisms. I am more courageous and freer, I feel safer within myself even in the midst of unpredictability. This simple method of releasing has made a very quick and powerful difference on many levels of my being. I am a writer and in the last month I wrote three new pieces and finished a novel I had struggled with for ages

Oscar Levy, London (now US)

·  What you can discover is that  who you are is what’s already right here, right now beyond your story. The story, what was or what might be, naturally changes as you let go into right now.  Life only happens now.  And it’s a celebration.  It’s exquisitely beautiful and a lot of fun to just show up and play, show up and live, with good company.

had a knowing of the peace and presence that I am. This knowing gives ‘me’ much more relaxation and acceptance. Everything is arising and it's great! Nothing needs to change! I have so much gratitude for this opening

Julia West, Cirencester

With all my heart, a big, big thank you for the weekend. I am amazed at the intensity and the impact it has had on me. I have no fears, loads of confidence and for the first time ever in my life I am feeling so calm and relaxed, empowered and liberated

awakening to the love and freedom of essence

You are love, just let go of pretending to be someone and find out for yourself

Joy Hicklin-Bailey

How happy and simple dare you be?
Silence and still ness and time in nature allow you to meet yourself. Self love blossoms And only then are you free to step out of the made up confines of conditioned self into the joy of being, body, heart,soul, spirit
The premise is that we are all already whole, complete and perfect, just as we are, in our Beingness.
You will spend time in Nature, and have the opportunity to experience your largeness through meditation, silence, circle sharing. And fun celebration
