Testimonials
“After several months of working on Covid wards and seeing the immense suffering patients and their families endured, burnout was inevitable. The retreat helped me reconnect with myself through nature. I felt re-calibrated, more balanced and I still go back to that feeling mentally when things get stressful now.” Dr Hanifa Koguna, Northwest London
“Retreats of this nature are needed more than ever. They should become a recommendation for all Healthcare worker and highly promoted in maintaining our wellbeing. All sessions were delivered with clarity, love and wisdom and has really helped me to deepen my appreciation of how nature nurtures us daily.” Angela Graham, Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
“I’d always considered retreats to be something of a middle-class indulgence but I went on the basis of having a new experience. I ended up really enjoying the September retreat and I’ve meditated daily since, using some of the techniques we were guided through.” Jeetan Vadgama A&E Doctor – University Hospital Lewisham
“There was acknowledgement that people need such a space to be a way, be safe, and held and feel welcomed without judgement.”
