RETREAT
WOODLAND SUMMER SANCTUARY
 

2 night Transformational Retreat
Fri 14-Sun 16 June 2024
A Peaceful Heart-Led Woodland Retreat in Dorset 
with Nicola & David McCarthy
EARLY BIRD Prices Start from £495
 

Join us both for an unforgettable heart-led summer retreat in a peaceful forest clearing in Dorset. 

 

A weekend that  offers connection with like-minded souls and immersion into the wonders of nature.

We have been guided to share this retreat just a few days before summer solstice, a special time, reminding us to celebrate the nourishing light of the sun and the light within each of us.

 

Earth and humanity are going through a huge shift, the energies are often uncomfortable.  We are being called to call in the light, raise our vibration and lift the energies of humanity.  This retreat will give you the opportunity to just 'be', to enjoy all that nature has to offer, in a safe, natural and beautiful environment, alongside like-minded souls.

​

About the Retreat

We will be hosting this gathering in woodland, home to a unique health and wellbeing space in Dorset. Entirely plant-powered, it is fuelled by the belief in the benefits of conscious living which flows through all you will experience.

 

A nurturing retreat immersed in nature and designed for those seeking rest, relaxation, and a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.  A sanctuary for those looking to raise their vibration and expand their light.

ABOUT YOUR GUIDES

IMG_9550.jpg

Hi I'm David McCarthy,

 

Over 40 years ago, my career began as a Pharmacist, in 1989 I opened the first western pharmacies in Tbilisi and Moscow.  Then I ran a successful chain of Pharmacies in the UK.

​

My life and direction changed the day my young son was given a terminal diagnosis, Pharmacy had no answers, the medical profession couldn't help...

 

I turned to nature and rediscovered my spiritual roots.

I continued on my spiritual path, developing healing, psychic and mediumship abilities and went on to study and then teach the ancient philosophy and natural way of life that is Macrobiotics around the globe.

​

Now my work is as an Energy Healer and Guide, transforming negative energy from darkness to light and improving the lives of those who seek me out.

​

"If not one of the best in the country, David is one of the best in the world"

Hi I'm Nicola McCarthy,

I discovered in my twenties that I was Psychic and a Medium, receiving messages from people that had passed away and channelling ancient wisdom for clients during healing sessions.

​

The holistic and natural world was beckoning and everything in my world was beginning to make sense.

​

I was though struggling with health challenges and it was in April 2001 when I met David on a spiritual workshop, he introduced me to the healing power of food and my healing journey began.

​

We were destined to meet, to be together, learn together and share our healing with others.

​

My work now is as a messenger, channelling high vibrational energies, light language, angels, masters and star beings.  I work as a healer, assisting people to release emotions and to move into their hearts, so we can all raise the vibration of humantity on this journey of ascension.
