This is the perfect bite-size getaway when you don’t have the time or resources to take a full weekend retreat, with just over 24 hours peace and quite and soulful views, food and headspace. This involves us arriving on Thursday late morning, with a full day including a light lunch, afternoon cake and tea, and dinner. The next morning will include breakfast, morning sessions and cake/ tea before we head off. You can always book an extra night by yourself for Friday night too if you wanted to extend it. These are more of a pit stop with the focus about learning and relaxation.

Note this retreat is Thursday to Friday (not the weekend)

About the Venue

In the hills of Snowdonia, this retreat venue was where it all began, and is where our professional videos were filmed. It is nestled in the valley alongside its own serene lake. There are walking routes around the area too. The bedrooms have a variety to suit all budgets such as single standard right up to double en suite. The food is amazing!

Nic Wagstaff, owner of Inspire - Rewire will be hosting the 2021 sessions followed by her hand-picked retreat leaders whom are also wonderful friends and colleagues who will be taking these sessions forward, introducing you to a diverse range of healing approaches for you to experiment with, knowing that they have a golden seal of approval from Inspire - Rewire.

Theme: Our theme is all about connecting to the body through understanding the Chakras. We will introduce each one and how the root chakra (safety, survival and security can impact all our other chakras) - and it's opposite (fear). We will be learning about a therapy technique called 'Body Talk' with our guest expert Anne Archer.

We will be connecting to the earth in our bare feet and rooting down for strength and meditating on releasing fears and limiting beliefs by taking a lake dip.

All our sessions are optional but we will be ready to help you take those leaps if you want to. By the end of this retreat you will go from a place of insecurity, confusion and blockage to feeling grounded, with confidence, courage and ready to take the next step in your chapter whether you are yet aware of that or not.

Anne Archer

I grew up in a family who were all drawn to careers in healthcare, or neurological and physical  development.  My father, a General Practitioner, my Mother a Nurse, and my three older sisters, between them, chose Physiotherapy, Autism and Neuroplasticity as their specialities.

I, however chose a different path. I always enjoyed being creative. I studied many forms of art, and finally chose a career in jewellery manufacture and design which I enjoyed for over ten years. I took a career break to start a family.

Anne started her holistic healthcare journey whilst searching for ways to help her eldest child Helena who has complex physical and developmental disabilities. After seeing such positive changes in Helena after her first BodyTalk session, Anne perused BodyTalk and found it enabled her to overcome the physical and emotional demands of supporting her daughter. Anne has been a Certified BodyTalk Practioner since 2014, and has continued to add to her skill set  with modalities such as BodyIntuative,  SourcePoints Therapy,  VMLD Lymphatic Drainage and Bach Flower remedies. Her areas of ‘specialist interest ‘ are Epigenetics, stress and anxiety,  and neuroplasticty.

BodyTalk

Anne will be drawing on her knowledge of the Chakras to link mind, body and emotions!

The treatments will be BodyTalk, these will be either 45 minutes each depending on numbers, or shorter taster sessions of around 25mins.

5 years ago I decided to change my career.

After running my own opticians for 20 years, I was under a lot of stress, anxiety and had no work-life balance, and was entering menopause!

After seeking help from my GP I was only given the option of anti-depressants I decided to look down the holistic therapy route. I was blown away by how reflexology gave me not only a deep sense of relaxation but left me feeling totally rejuvenated, I was able to sleep better which enabled me to think more clearly to the point that it transformed my life and I retrained in Aromatherapy, Crystal Therapy, Reiki & Reflexology so I could help other women like me. I would love all women to experience the transformation I went through. Since embarking on putting myself first with holistic therapies and changing my career I have never looked back.

The journey that I have embarked on has awakened the real me, and I would love to take you on this journey of self-discovery. I truly believe that holistic treatments are not a luxury, but rather a stepping stone on the pathway to wellness.

Personally, my mission is to give you permission to press pause! I am an anxiety, overwhelm and burnout expert, helping to inspire and rewire busy, stressed and run down individuals who are often unconsciously self-sabotaging their lives!

From healing from the disease of 1000 names  ‘Adrenaline Fatigue’ to identifying those niggling feelings that something's just not right, I open people’s eyes to anxiety; it’s symptoms, impact and red flags to remind people to press pause before it becomes an intrinsic part of their life, and when it's already gone too far I help free people from their despair.
I do this because I have been that high achiever, unstoppable superwoman and suffered the devastating consequences and am passionate about using my unique combination of skills; corporate background as Group Head of Learning and Development, my well-being practitioner training (Hypnotherapy, yoga, NLP and more) and most importantly personal experience, to help reverse the growing trend of burnout and instead create more peace and balance in our lives.
