DIVINE WOMAN RETREAT

A Retreat for Women wishing to regain your vital Female energy and unique 'Womaness' by introducing and integrating Holistic principals into your daily lives.

 BUSTING THE TABOO OF THE MENOPAUSE, PMT & Hormone imbalances.

Hormone imbalances can disrupt our lives and prove difficult to navigate at the best of times.  Whether it be stress, thinning hair, weight gain, anxiety, mood changes, depression or fatigue, every woman needs support during these uncomfortable transitions. Each woman is unique and although we share many common symptoms, some mild and others debilitating, they all take their toll mentally, physically and emotionally.

 

On this AMAZING ‘Divine Woman’s Retreat’, you will relax, move, eat and learn how to transcend debilitating hormone imbalances.

We will teach you how to use Natural remedies and Therapies to support your symptoms, helping to retain your femininity, maintain your youthful appearance, quell anxiety and depression, reduce weight gain, and transcend fatigue and inertia.

This Retreat will empower you to tackle new chapters in your life with courage and enthusiasm.  On this Retreat we will show you how to slow down the physical signs of ageing, by tailoring each delegate's programme through the use of cutting edge technology, alongside a qualified Naturopath who specialises in hormone support.  She will identify your particular hormonal imbalances and then provide solutions through the use of specifically chosen therapies, treatments and exercises to fulfil your individual requirements.

A more defined sense of who you are;

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a BodySonic Magnetic Resonance Scanner? It is a non invasive piece of technology that measures your resistance to substances and pathogens, and can detect blockages within the body and its systems. It uses frequency scanning to trace hormone imbalances, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, allergies, all pathogens, to identify parasites, funguses, bacteria and viral infections, heavy metal toxicity, health of all the organs, such cardiovascular health, gastrointestinal, liver, lung and kidney function, brain response, bone density, blood sugar, cholesterol and body fat, and immune function to name a few. Treatments for certain ailments, such as difficult to eradicate viruses, parasites and MRI bacterial infections, digestive and autoimmune issues which can then be treated by the Bioresonance machine to enhance performance.
What is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini Yoga is called the Yoga of Awareness. It is a dynamic, powerful tool that is designed to give you an experience of your soul.
In Kundalini Yoga we harness the mental, physical, and nervous energies of the body and put them under the domain of the will, which is the instrument of the soul. This technology precisely and consciously combines breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity, and purifiy the blood. It brings balance to the body, mind, and soul.
Kundalini Yoga is not a religion. When we apply the technology of Kundalini Yoga to our bodies and minds, it has the effect of uplifting the spirit. It is for everyone. It is universal and nondenominational.
Kundalini Yoga is a yoga for householders, for people who have to cope with the daily challenges and stresses of holding jobs, raising families, and managing businesses. It is a path for everyone who wants the skills to cope successfully with the challenges of our times.
 
What is Meditation? 
Meditation in Kundalini Yoga contains specific, practical tools that carefully and precisely support the mind and guide the body through the use of breath, mantra (chanting), mudra (hand position), and focus. The range and variety of meditation techniques in the Kundalini Yoga tradition is truly extraordinary. Yogi Bhajan passed on hundreds of meditations tailored to specific applications. There are meditations that reduce stress, work on addictions, increase vitality, and clear chakras, to name a few. While there exist many, many styles and approaches to meditation, what sets this approach to meditation apart is its precision, effectiveness, and practicality.
What is Facial Yoga?
Facial Yoga tones facial and neck muscles while maintaining a relaxed look. Essentially, facial yoga is a form of exercise, which means it tones and tightens your face. As you exercise these muscles, you're drawing blood, oxygen and extra circulation to this delicate skin, which can stimulate collagen production and emulates youth.
What sort of clothing do I need to bring? Comfortable clothes for meditation and yoga, some walking shoes, swimming costume, loose fitting clothes for very hot weather, and a jumper or cardigan for cooler evenings.
What level of Yoga will I be expected to do? Classes will encompass all levels of Yoga.

Kathryn Plowright has often been described as a pioneer in complementary medicine and holistic therapies, and the woman responsible for bringing these alternative healing approaches onto the high street and into the public consciousness over a quarter of a century ago. 
Coming from a corporate background in PR Kathryn was struck down with  a devastating illness from which conventional medicine gave her no chance of recovery.   Kathryn decided to ‘find her own path’ out of ill health through nature and its boundless healing properties.  The result was her inception over 25 years ago of The Medicine Shop & Clinic, a collaboration of complementary medicine and therapies under one roof.  Kathryn fast became a leading authority on the subject, touring the world, giving countless interviews on radio and TV, and writing for newspapers and magazines, promoting the benefits of holistic healthcare.
I have dedicated my life’s work to Complementary Medicine and therapies, having embraced Naturopathy and trained in Homeopathy, Herbal medicine, Kinesiology, Reiki, Aromatherapy, holistic Nutrition, EFT, Reflexology, Bach Flower Therapy, Colour therapy, and Crystal healing. On this journey I discovered the path to health, vitality and happiness, through personal growth both emotionally and spiritually.
As a Master Energy Practitioner  I have designed this retreat, in order to share the contents of my ‘tool box’  and help you develop the skills and knowledge you require to heal your body, your mind and your life, in a safe and gentle way with no harmful side effects, but with mindfulness and gratitude.
Kathryn Plowright is the owner of Garderes.
