You are invited to the Northern Reiki Retreat 2009
This three-day retreat, now in its fifth year, is a wonderful opportunity for rest, renewal and learning. Hosted by Reiki Master Martine Moorby and her co-facilitator Mandy Pearson, the retreat offers a flexible combination of Reiki practice and meditations, energy work, workshop-style activities, and confidential life-coaching to address more personal questions.
It is a unique opportunity to:
- have time out, rest and renew
- reflect on where you are in your life and explore the questions of change and spirituality that learning and practising Reiki may have invited
- work something out with the support of others
- take stock and consider options
- deepen your understanding of subtle energies
- connect with others and seek fresh perspectives on energy work - and your relationship to it
- practise and explore Reiki skills, techniques and approaches
- give and receive Reiki
In 2008, as in previous years, the pace was relaxed, with the emphasis on choice - to be in the company of others, to enjoy the wonderful setting alone in quiet reflection, or to ask for support and guidance along the way. For some, this year's retreat was about developing their Reiki practice and trying out new techniques or experiencing new approaches. For others the experience was a time to take stock on their spiritual journey and draw fresh inspiration and strength for the coming year. The participants make up their own "menu" from the options available.
After four years of co-facilitating the retreat with Martine, Amanda Dale is no longer available, having moved permanently to Spain. Martine is sorry to lose the able assistance of a good friend but absolutely delighted that Mandy Pearson has agreed to take over the role.
Martine and Mandy, both experienced facilitators and coaches, share a passionate belief in people's capacity to grow, develop and empower themselves, and like to bring a blend of practicality, humour and open-heartedness to their work. Drawing on a wide range of resources, exercises, meditations and activities, they are able to tailor the focus of each day to the energy and interests of the group, whilst very mindful that any retreat is a completely unique experience for each individual.
Their intention is to provide a nurturing and encouraging environment in which participants can feel free to ask for and find what they need. They also provide a mini-resource centre/library.
Although not specifically designed as a 'group event', participants together create a supportive atmosphere in which much laughter, life experience and Reiki is shared!
To keep costs to a minimum, we have chosen a venue where the accommodation is based on sharing. The 6 bedrooms on the ground floor, most of which open onto a sheltered decking area leading to the garden, all have their own en-suite bathroom. There are two further dormer rooms. We are offering about 12 places.
You are invited to attend this very special event at a very special venue. All Reiki styles and lineages are welcome, so long as you hold at least Second Degree level.
The three days are intended to help you access even more of your potential in working with this universal energy.
The retreat is also about your self-development. You will have the opportunity to reflect on where you are in your life and explore the issues of change that learning and practising Reiki may have invited, maybe to work something out with the support of others and consider options for the future, or simply have some quiet "me-time".
Above all the retreat is designed to offer you a safe and comfortable space in which to nurture yourself and take what you need.

Testimonials
Here you can read testimonials from poeple who have attended previous sessions at the Northern Reiki retreat.
"I booked myself on the weekend as a much needed miniReiki- MoT for myself- I left 3 days later with some much needed ( but entirely unexpected) clarity on three major life issues which I have been facing for sometime, knew I needed to do "something" about but never managed to find the time to work them through. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough- try it - it might just change your life, if you are willing to!"
LM, Glasgow
"Haybergill was a wonderful experience, with lots of Reiki and time for personal reflection. I came away feeling cleansed and calm but also with lots to think about."
Julie Cooper, North Yorkshire
"The weekend retreat at Haybergill 2005 was just superb and offered the opportunity to partake in Reiki, relaxed group discussion sessions, or one-to-one sessions either with another member of the group or the facilitators, or time either to read or walk or have a sauna or listen to music or carry out any other creative pastime or if you wanted, to 'just be'. A lot of time was spent in the dining room, having discussions around the breakfast, lunch or dinner table whilst eating the varied and delicious food on offer! If 'getting away from it all' in the company of like-minded people appeals to you, I'd thoroughly recommend this retreat."
Lynn Guiller, Surrey
"Haybergill was in a very beautiful setting and the feeling of peace and tranquility stayed with me throughout the weekend and long afterwards. Martine and Amanda were wonderful facilitators and the group discussions were very useful and I learnt a lot, especially about myself. The food was excellent too! I will definitely go again if I can."
Helen Smith, West Midlands
"One of the highlights of my stay was spotting a red squirrel ( though I never did see a badger!) As for the programme, Martine and Amanda had it pitched just right. There was time for earnest discussion, problem solving, personal development and chilling out. I learned that whatever works for me is ok as long as it fits the ethics and ethos of Reiki. This was of great help to me. Add to this, six pairs of hands giving healing at the same time and plenty of volunteers to practice on - it was heaven!"
Carolyn Zajciw, Manchester
"The retreat was a condensed holiday time, incredibly refreshing and gently empowering. The combination of Martine's and Amanda's work gave me the opportunity to reassess some of the most crucial issues in my life at the moment, and put me back in touch with a higher dimension of understanding and perception of those issues. The result was a fully energised, vibrant self, ready for the next chapter. The food was heavenly crafted as well, to give a rounded touch to this experience of recharging and renewal. I would definitely recommend it !!!"
Flor Fernandez, Glasgow
"I enjoyed a fabulous long weekend to do exactly what I wanted. There was real choice to join in the activities of energy work, discussion and Reiki sessions or to go for a walk, read a book, quietly contemplate or have a one to one session with either of the facilitators. Martine and Amanda are a wonderful team, warm and giving. They taught me that less is more! I learnt a lot about myself, cleared up a few problems and came home feeling refreshed and reinvigorated ready to return to my own busy healing practice. Food fabulous, centre beautiful."
Ruth Chambers, Reiki Master, NLP Master Practitioner, Yoga Teacher
"Among the benefits I have taken from this retreat, is being more focused and calmer about my future (and past), and I have re-found my lively energetic spirit, that had been a bit buried for a while."
JH, London
“The time at the retreat made me realise what a wonderful world we truly live in and how blessed we all are, something that we don't always see. I now feel that I have more tools to work with in my life, and for that I thank you all.”
N Henriques, London
“Thank you Martine for the lovely exercise holding the energy in the Tan Den I used it very quickly on the M6 when the blinding rain came down, it worked wonderfully, I seemed to fly home.Thankyou isn't enough Martine all the thought and work you put into the Reiki weekend was wonderful, you and Amanda work so well you bounce off each other it just works.”
P McNicol, Cumbria
“First of all thank you so much Martine and Amanda for such an enlightening experience at Haybergill. It has given me the much needed space and time to think, away from the madness of everyday life! I now feel I have the tools to help me go forward.”
Marilyn H, London
“Many thanks for the wonderful opportunity you gave to all of us , not only to heal and change all that needed healing and changing, but also a chance to meet so many loving and kind people...I now firmly believe that there are enough loving and kind people on earth to make it a safe and happy place.”
R Kumar, London
