Welcome to the Lion’s Gate Gathering, August 7-9, 2026
I am honoured to welcome you on a weekend retreat for women, designed to offer you a chance to rest and rejuvenate your body, mind & soul. Relax in the peace and quiet of the Mill Bay countryside on land that has been lovingly held by my family for six generations.
Immerse yourself in nature and be nurtured by the ocean, the stars and beautiful soulful connections. Relax by the fireside, bask in the sun, lounge in the heated swimming pool, adventure to the beach, unwind on the cool grass – the choice is yours!
The weekend will feature an immersive Holy Fire® Reiki Experience, magical Sound Journey, sacred Breathwork Ceremony, Lion’s Gate Manifestation Circle & Chakra Dance Party, plus ample time for tarot readings, journaling, wholesome food and plenty of downtime.
Camp under the stars and allow yourself to unwind as we gather together to harness the powerful energy of this high frequency 8/8 Lion’s Gate portal.
Rest and receive through guided meditation, reiki energy healing, sound healing, breathwork and embodied manifestation & movement.
Allow all of the energy that is no longer serving you to be released as you welcome fresh, vibrant energy to radiate through you. Enjoy the peace and empowerment that comes from building soulful community as we celebrate in circle and share stories in this sacred space.
