Because you've returned to yourself.

Your Guide
I come without fear
Four decades of healing, thirty years of Shiatsu and Reiki, and a lifetime of listening to the Universe. This sanctuary is shaped by one person's faith in the journey, and in everyone who chooses love as their guide.

The Seven Elements
Seven threads run through everything here. Open each one.
Section Three
Experience the Sanctuary
Twenty-five ways to meet the land, the horses, the sound rooms and yourself. Every one opens into its own page.
Not a stone circle
A map of the stars, written in granite
Each stone is raised by hand into an astronomical alignment, a map of the heavens set in Cornish granite, with radiating rows rather than a ring. One of only a handful of its kind in the country. People arrive expecting stones and leave having felt their own scale shift.
Walk the stonesThe Christ Frequency
The frequency of unconditional love
Christ Consciousness is not a religion here. It is the state many traditions point at with different words, the frequency of unconditional love, forgiveness and unity. When a room drops into it, everyone in that room feels it, whatever they believe.
Love without condition
Nothing to earn, nothing to prove, nobody outside the circle.
Forgiveness
Setting down what you were never meant to carry this far.
Unity
Separation softens, with the land, with each other, with the source of it all.
Grace
What arrives when we stop striving and let ourselves be held.
“Love and blessings to all who choose love as their guide.”
The Healing Rooms
Sound, salt and stillness
Inside the buildings, a set of rooms given over entirely to practice, each one built for a different kind of quiet.
Day & Evening Retreats
You don't have to disappear for a week
Qigong under the oaks, cacao by firelight, a whole day of stillness, or a clothing-optional day of warmth and quiet. Each one capped at ten people, most at eight.
Retreats
Feminine, masculine, and the balance between
Bespoke retreats for a maximum of ten people. Small enough that nobody disappears.
Maximum 10
Every retreat is capped at ten guests. Nothing is scaled up.
Entirely bespoke
Each programme is shaped around who is actually in the room.
Coming together
Separate circles that meet, balance, connection and honest repair.
Healing With Horses
Walking beside horses
Healing, leadership and spiritual connection on the hillside, the beach and in the woods. No riding, only the quiet honesty of an animal that responds to how you truly are.

I Choose
Hope is a decision made each morning, long before anything has changed.

The Little Book of I Choose
A small book about intentional daily choices
Written by Ian Welch, the book grew out of a simple daily practice: choosing one word each morning and letting it shape the day. It invites readers towards personal growth and wellbeing, one honest choice at a time.
“I read a page each morning before the house wakes up. It has changed the tone of my whole day.”
Stay & Table
Sleep in the woodland. Wake to the sea.
Luxury eco cabins, shepherd huts and retreat rooms, with organic Cornish food grown a few steps from the table.
