Slovenia Meditation Retreat

Who Should Attend?

The Retreat is suitable for all levels of Meditators (from Beginners to Advanced).

Meditation complemented by sound and movement

The sessions are very interactive and consist of teachings, guided meditations, questions and sharing experiences.

We will complement powerful meditation techniques with the use of sound (singing bowls, music, vowel sounds) and very specific movements (asanas) to harmonise your energy (chakras).

Although the techniques you will discover are extremely powerful they are also very simple and easy to incorporate into your daily life.

Immerse yourself in meditation, but go at your own pace

The beauty of this retreat is that you can make the weekend as intense or as relaxed as you choose.

I encourage you to attend all teachings & group meditation sessions, but it is important that you go at your own pace.  I have chosen this location because it is conducive to intense learning as well as maximum relaxation.

You may choose to attend the optional sessions for maximum benefit, to meditate in the beautiful surroundings, or book a spa treatment – This time is for you!

“I finished work on Friday afternoon feeling anxious and stressed, extremely ready for, looking forward to, and yet a tiny bit apprehensive of the weekend ahead. Arriving at the retreat location in Dorset, I immediately felt a sense of peace.

As the weekend progressed I began to feel so much more relaxed and happy and by Sunday afternoon I felt like a different person.  I hadn’t realised quite how tense I had been and I left with a feeling of tranquility that lasted into my working week.  

I would recommend one of Julie’s meditation retreats to anyone who needs time to themselves and wants to restore balance and a feeling of calm into their lives.” Emma Hawkins

“Like so many of us, I lead a busy and stressful life. I still clearly remember leaving the first class I attended with Julie – I didn’t think it was possible to achieve such a level of calm from meditating. I leapt at the opportunity to go with Julie for a weekend retreat.

I was stressed – getting out of the office to even get there seemed a mammoth task, and I was anxious at what the weekend had in store!

Instantly on arrival, Julie put me at ease, and the beautiful location was perfect for such a retreat. As we commenced on Friday evening, I could slowly feel the stress depart and clarity return.

Over the next two days, I was amazed at the impact of the meditations. Overall, the sense of calmness, and perspective returned and stayed with me for some time. Importantly though, I realised I was the one in charge of my own life and health, and meditating could only be a great thing that would improve it.

What I particularly enjoyed is that all the participants could move along at their own pace, and there was no pressure put on you.

Julie has been a wonderful teacher to me, understanding my concerns and needs (now I realise my concerns about meditating are often the same as everyone else’s!). She is great at explaining the concepts, and practice, and importantly is completely non-judgmental.

With her background in the corporate world, she has lived the life that many of us find so stressful. Her caring nature is much appreciated by her students, as is her wonderful sense of humour. I know that each time I see Julie I will learn something new, and be grateful I started on this journey with her.” Rating 10/10 – Jane Atkins
