Because this is deep personal work, no specific results can be guaranteed — and we honour that each person’s process is unique. What we can promise is a well-held space, powerful tools, trauma-informed facilitation, and guidance that meets you where you are. Many people experience profound clarity, emotional release, and lasting shifts during this retreat — but your pace and readiness will always be respected.

The retreat is a fully residential experience, with your accommodation, meals, and all group sessions included in your retreat fee.

This means:

• You’ll stay for 5 nights in a beautiful private or shared room

• You’ll receive two nourishing vegetarian meals a day (brunch and dinner), plus snacks, teas and water throughout the day

• You’ll have access to all scheduled group sessions, guided practices, and retreat materials

• Shared spaces and on-site facilities (like the studio, gardens, and firepit) are also included

However, this is not an “all-inclusive holiday” in the travel industry sense, and we are not a tour operator. To keep things simple and aligned with travel regulations:

• Flights, ferries, and airport transfers are not included – you are responsible for booking and covering your own travel to and from Gozo (these are straight-forward and the venue can support with this).

• Travel insurance (health and cancellation) is required and must be arranged separately by you.

• Optional 1:1 treatments, excursions, or additional meals are not part of your retreat fee and are booked privately if you choose (optional elements are denoted with an asterisk* throughout the website), contact me for more clarification).

• We do not arrange or combine travel services on your behalf – all travel components are managed independently by each guest.

This retreat is not a package holiday and is offered as a standalone residential programme. All services included are part of your stay and are not sold or marketed as separate options.

Yes — we offer twin rooms (shared with another participant) and a small number of double rooms for those wishing to share. Please note:

• Twin rooms are charged at the full individual rate for each guest.

• Double rooms receive a £250 discount per person for double occupancy. These rooms include a double bed (not two singles).

We’ve found that shared double rooms work beautifully for partners and spouses, but may feel too close for more casual relationships. Please consider carefully, as room arrangements cannot be changed once the retreat begins. If you’d like to share a double room, contact us directly for a separate booking link.

No. This is a fully residential retreat and all participants are required to reside onsite at our venue, Samudra. Being held in the same space — through day and night — supports the deep integration of the retreat experience and nurtures the collective field of transformation.

To keep the energy of the retreat space contained and intentional, all guests must be registered participants in the full programme. We’re unable to accommodate non-participating companions.

Group sessions are intentionally kept small and intimate. There will be a maximum of 12 participants, plus myself as your facilitator. This allows for a safe, supportive space where everyone has room to be heard, witnessed and gently guided through their own process.

We’ll send a full packing list closer to the retreat, but here are the essentials:

• Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing — preferably in natural fibres to help your body breathe in the warm Mediterranean climate

• Layers for the evenings — temperatures are likely to range from the high 20s to mid 30s°C during the day, and remain in the 20s in the evening

• Walking shoes or trainers for short countryside walks (we’ll be walking to a nearby secret beach)

• Swimwear — each accommodation has access to a small pool

• A shawl or wrap for warmth during sessions or evening ceremonies

• Mosquito spray — especially useful for the evenings

• A journal and pen

• Any favourite snacks or herbal teas you like for comfort

• An open heart, and a willingness to be surprised by yourself

• Malta has a national eco-policy on water usage, which means that water pressure is intentionally kept low across the island to support conservation. While all rooms have showers and running water, we do not recommend treatments that require long rinsing times (such as deep conditioning hair masks or dye treatments), as the water flow is gentle and may not be ideal for washing off heavy products.

  We encourage a simple, natural approach while on retreat — and many guests enjoy this as part of slowing down and reconnecting with nature.

Every room has air conditioning, and the retreat spaces are set up for ease, rest, and grounding.

Yes. While the days include structured sessions, there will also be time for rest, reflection, walking, journaling, or simply enjoying the peace of Gozo. You’ll have spacious afternoons and optional evening activities to choose from.

You’re very welcome here. No prior experience is needed. Everything we do will be introduced gently and guided with care. The retreat is trauma-informed and paced in a way that supports every participant to feel safe and respected throughout.

No. This retreat is for personal transformation, not professional training. The work is deep, holistic, and experiential — with no certificates or CE credits issued.

We do not offer work-exchange or discounted places. Every participant is held equally in the shared group container. This helps maintain safety, clarity, and presence for the depth of the work we’ll be doing.
