Shamanic Sound Healing and Soul Retrieval Retreat
with Simon Heather
8th - 10th October 2010
Soul Loss
Whenever we experience trauma, a part of our vital essence separates from us in order to survive the experience by escaping the full impact of the pain.
A woman said that after breaking up with her boyfriend she felt as though "a part of me is still with him." Another person said "I'm not all here, a part of me observes with my mind, but I don't connect with emotional feelings."
In Shamanism all illness is due to Soul loss. Soul loss can be caused by a car accident, the break up of a relationship, a sudden death in the family or a chronic illness. These things can cause a loss of vital energy and this energy must be restored to bring our spirit back.
In this retreat you will learn how to bring back your Spirit and how to facilitate a Soul Retrieval for another person.

Treat yourself to the lasting holistic benefits of a Retreat - a safe haven to reflect, renew and restore. Time out from the toxic effects of noise, info overload, unrealistic demands and the frantic busy-ness, complexity, craziness of 21st century living. Time for you just to be instead of constantly doing. Chance to quieten your chattering mind in peaceful surroundings, to relax deeply, de-stress and regain a sense of self, of calm, of sanity. Time too to treat yourself to profound healing, deep meditation, spiritual guidance and opportunities to learn and practise new skills, commune with nature alone and/or with likeminded others on guided walks, to visit sacred sites . . . so many ways to honour yourself and your own needs.

The West Usk Lighthouse
St. Brides Wentloog, Newport Gwent, NP10 8SF
The West Usk Lighthouse is a cosy bed and breakfast situated near the City of Newport, Gwent, at the junction of the Severn and the Usk Estuaries, overlooking the Bristol Channel. The lighthouse was named as one of the 'Most Romantic in Britain' by Cosmopolitan magazine in 1998. The lighthouse has been featured in most national magazines and newspapers, too numerous to mention.
It is perhaps the strangest house around, found at the end of a very long stony and bumpy track - it is an unusual example of its kind, built to a unique design; not tall as most lighthouses are, and considerably bigger in circumference.
We are really fortunate to live in this unique property. The tides come rushing in twice a day, so the landscape is never the same. The Severn Estuary is the second fastest tidal river in the world. The sunrises and sunsets are just spectacular. The storms are something else! The full moon has to be seen to be believed. We have cows in the fields and wild horses roam around. In the summer time, the crops are so colourful. Shame we have not had a crop circle yet, but we are hoping.....
Our guests come for a relaxing short break, though we do have some lighthouse enthusiasts who stay longer. We have had over 20 marriage proposals at the lighthouse. You can re-take your 
vows on top of the lighthouse, shouting it as loud as you want! We can arrange for someone to help you do this. We can take you in the Roller to the local full a la carte restaurant, with chilled champagne for the journey, or we can order flowers and balloons for a birthday treat.
We are very interested in complementary therapies. Most of our guests sample the flotation tank, where you lie on the surface of the water for an hour. You just float like in the Dead Sea. The water is saturated with Epsom Salts and your body just de-stresses effortlessly. Try this with a body massage, or reflexology afterwards. Sheer Heaven!
We also have a hot tub on the roof garden, which has a 'holiday in the sun' feel about it. You can relax there and watch the sun at dawn or dusk or follow a group of shooting stars on their way down There are barbecue facilities for anyone who wants to have a go. Great fun for groups. We also have an infrared sauna for detoxing or for pleasure.
We are a non smoking establishment. We can help you stop smoking in one hour, if you really want to give up. You can have a free life coaching session if you are unsure about a particular problem. Traumas, fears and phobias can be sorted out in one or two sessions with an Advanced Hypnotherapist.
