Join this beautiful event

It is always a joy to share these affordable retreat days a few times a year alongside my other multi award winning retreats in the UK and abroad.

The idea for these days is you receive exactly the same Mellulah Magic, you just bring your own lunch. Everything else is the same, beautiful yoga flow, blissful sound healing and gorgeous location.

This weekend, Empowering Ourselves with Boundaries was so successful in 2024, Saira is running the retreat again with the addition of a special day on Sunday for women who have suffered in toxic relationships.

Anyone is welcome on Friday evening for the sound healing and Saturday for the day when we will delve deeply into using boundaries as a way to create peace and harmony in your life, loving yourself enough to feel worthy of such. Sunday is a womens only day, do get in touch if you have any queries and read more details below.

 

Friday Evening Sound Healing

Join me at the end of your busy week for a relaxing evening to celebrate the Celtic festival of Imbolc, the coming of Spring, the very beginning of new growth and the gentle warming of the Earth.

Enjoy a blissfully relaxing and deeply healing sound healing immersion with 7 Chakra Singing Crystal Bowls, Tibetan Bowls and the Gong.

Meditations, poetry and chants to help us connect to the traditional ways of ritual and ceremony to honour beautiful point of potential and growth as winter draws to its close.

Here we stand midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, the Light is truly on its way!

Ending the evening with delicious vegan cakes and chai tea. A beautiful way to come together and share space in our amazing Dorset community.

Saturday Day Retreat

This day retreat will walk you through a beautiful Saturday of Vinyasa Flow Yoga, meditation, breath work, and sound healing.

Saira will guide you through an interactive workshop on Empowering Ourselves With Boundaries through authentic work to find courage to create the beautiful peaceful life you richly deserve . Working with boundaries for self empowerment, letting go and surrendering, accepting all we can not control and enriching our lives with self love, self care and learning the power of saying no. You will leave the day feeling ready to start finding your power in your life,

A playful, interactive and vibrant day for you to align with your true essence as a Divinely made, beautifully imperfect human being.

This is one of my incredibly popular ‘bring your own lunch’ retreats day.

A beautiful day with exactly the same offerings as all my other retreats and no less Mellulah magic.

If you have suffered abusive or toxic relationships in your life, this day retreat will support you in your recovery.

  • How to spot toxic people and the different, often misunderstood aspects of narcissism.
  • How to empower yourself with strong boundaries to ensure you attract healthy partners in the future

My experience at Saira's retreat was amazing. I've been on several of Saira's retreats and they are all wonderful, so thoughtfully planned, down to the smallest details, to make sure that everyone feels so welcome and cared for. I would highly recommend Saira's retreats and hope to go on many more! Thank you Saira xx

My experience on Saira's retreat was truly extraordinary. I came all the way from the US for this unique experience. Saira is a gifted facilitator and healer, and through her kind, wise and humble nature, she created safe space for a group of strangers to find connection with one another and within themselves. Great care was taken to ensure that everyone's dietary, energetic and emotional needs were honored and I felt very cared for throughout the experience. I am so grateful I made the journey!

I have just returned from a retreat run by Saira and feel like I have been restored and replenished! Everything was well planned and organised with amazing food and facilities. If you are feeling undecided about attending a retreat alone I can reassure you that you will be made to feel welcome and looked after whilst you are there. Everyone is important in Saira's eyes and she has time and space for everyone who needs her attention. She's very caring and knowledgeable in all the activities she offers so you feel safe and nurtured. You'll not be disappointed.

Saira is the real deal - her retreats are profound, intelligent, passionate and safe. I have been on two so far and hope to join many more!
