Back to the Ocean of Consciousness 2025

Meditation Retreat

Friday 31st October - Monday 3rd November, 2025

Northcourt House, Isle of Wight

After many years of hosting Yoga retreats and successfully facilitating three enriching meditation-focused retreats , Harel & I continue to feel a deep calling to create meaningful experiences for our Circle's friends and those curious about meditation. We've witnessed the transformative power of these retreats, and we're eager to delve even deeper into the practice alongside you.

We are thrilled to extend an invitation for our next retreat -

"Back to the Ocean of Consciousness" a weekend meditation retreat nestled on the serene Isle of Wight.

Join us once more as we embark on a journey of exploration, self-discovery, and rejuvenation. You deserve this opportunity to reconnect with yourself and delve further into the practice of meditation.

Experience an immersive and uplifting weekend as we delve into various meditation techniques, including Yoga Nidra, Kirtan, Gong baths, Japa Mala meditation, meditative walks, and more. Our time together on the beautiful Isle of Wight will be dedicated to nurturing our inner selves and cultivating a deeper sense of peace and clarity.

Indulge in a delectable vegetarian menu infused with a Middle Eastern twist, designed to nourish both body and soul.
Drawing on my 20+ years of experience in Chinese Medicine, the meals will be thoughtfully prepared in accordance with Chinese medicine guidelines for the Autumn season, supporting your body's natural rhythms and promoting balance as we transition through this time of the year.

This weekend promises to be a transformative experience, offering relaxation, learning, connection, and personal growth. Join us as we come together to explore, connect, and flourish in the embrace of meditation and self-discovery.

THE LOCATION

Main Rd, Shorwell, Newport PO30 3JG

We invite you to share the beautiful historic Jacobean manor house on the Isle of Wight with us. Situated on the south-west side of the Isle of Wight, Northcourt Manor was built in 1615 on the site of a monastic building.
The 15 acre, glorious garden enjoys a very special micro climate, nestled below the Downs between the chalk and green sand ridges. All of which is ours to explore for the weekend.


DAILY MEDITATION PRACTICES

This retreat is dedicated to meditation and its diverse methodologies, welcoming both newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. Regardless of your level of familiarity with meditation techniques, this retreat offers an immersive experience into their practice. If you're attending with someone new to meditation, please assure them that prior experience is unnecessary.

Our Asana (pose practice) sessions will cater to individuals of all skill levels, allowing you to adapt the practice to the needs of your body, whether seeking a gentle yin approach or a more dynamic yang experience.

ADDITIONAL OFFERINGS

In addition to our schedule you may want to book holistic massage with Fany on Saturday and Community Auricular Acupuncture with me on Sunday.
Harel & I will be crafting a vegetarian menu infused with Middle Eastern flavour based entirely on the Chinese Medicine guide for Autumn.
If you have any specific dietary requirements, please make sure to inform us beforehand.
