Welcome
to Heartspring Retreats
I've
been running our retreats now for over 14 years and my ethos is very simple:
I'm passionate about providing a caring, deeply nurturing, empathic heart-centred
space for individuals to find their way in an often overwhelming day-to-day
world. Not just to provide a haven from the busy-ness and stress, but to
teach really practical skills and support to take home.
Also
it was especially important to me to keep the focus neutral without any
spiritual or religious teachings or background, so that it can be really
open to all faiths and none.
This is not a 'business' to make money, much more of a 'Service' to humanity
in my own little way.
Our
approach is very personal and individual, so we don't have online bookings,
its much better to drop me a line, or even better to give me a ring and
we can chat through what you are looking for to see if I can help.
With deep care, Maddie Lynfield
ps: I'm a longterm meditator for over 38 years with a background in Counselling, Spiritual Coaching, Meditation Tuition, Healing and am an Independent Trainer for Nonviolent Communication, but don't take my word for it, do see our Reviews Page to hear from our guests. Or see us on Trip Advisor
What
We Offer
We
offer 2 Deep
Heart Retreats a month, one
mid-week (4 nights) and the other at the weekend for 2 nights
Where you come on your own (or with a friend), have your own room,
yummy veggie home-cooked food and have a fully inclusive package
of one to one and small group sessions to deeply relax, connect with your
heart and get supported with Compassionate Presence with anything that might
be in the way.
We also offer One-to-One
Retreats when you can come on your own when no one else is staying
in between our Deep Heart Retreats. Stay for however long in our beautiful
Pine Lodge with its own en-suite shower-room/loo and mini-kitchenette, so
you can self-cater and enjoy the beautiful peace here, use our healing Rose
Sanctuary and bathe in the gorgeous countryside and have access to any of
our Therapeutic
Sessions on offer.
All
our retreats are personalised to suit the individual, as we create a programme
to suit you, just e-mail or ring to discuss things further.
* Please note we do have neighbours and can not always guarantee a silent
space, although generally it is very peaceful here.
Our
Beautiful Buildings
All our Retreats take place in our special purpose built eco-friendly
buildings set within beautiful gardens. The style is rustic, yet they are
warm, fully insulated and full of the normal comforts we all come to expect.
Feel nurtured by nature, yet warm and cozy throughout the year.
