"What a beautiful day, never have I felt so much stillness in my own home. Thank you for your guidance. I will take much from today and look forward to the next one."

Life Review Online Retreat ~ January 2025
A day of reflection to help find your bearings for 2025
with Marion and Martin ~ Saturday 11th January 2025 – 9.30am to 4.30pm
“Dedicating a day to stillness and self-connection is a powerful way to prepare your energy for 2025. With all the noise in the world, this feels like the perfect way to realign and reconnect with what matters most.”
As many of you will know, every January for the past 18 years Martin and I have run a ‘Vision Day’ retreat, originally as an in-person event, and then online since 2021. Although each year we refined and improved the event, until now we have stayed with our tried and tested formula, based around our very successful 48-page workbook that we would use to guide people through the day.
This year, we feel it is time to refresh the whole process, and to change the emphasis and tone of the day to reflect the changing times that many of us are going through, individually and collectively. There will be more emphasis on being deeply rooted in your connection to your higher guidance, so you will leave feeling more relaxed, empowered, centred and inspired, ready for 2025.
The primary intention of the new ‘Life Review Online Retreat’ remains the same; to create time and space to reflect on your life in a sacred sanctuary of peace and stillness in the comfort of your own home. And then to use this space to access your Soul’s guidance and light the way forward for you in a very real and practical way.

“Full marks to you and Martin. You both delivered the day with compassion and authenticity.”
o
“Marion & Martin created an incredibly powerful and sacred space to support everyone in being able to spend the day in their own time and at their own pace.”

A New Guidebook
The difference will be reflected in our new guidebook, a bit less less prescriptive than before and offering a range of optional activities that can meet you wherever you are right now. It’s been carefully designed to accompany you through the day, weaving in the online guided sessions and the offline time for personal reflection.
An Online Retreat
This retreat is on Zoom in webinar mode and is audio only (with the exception of Martin and I being on camera to open and close the day), so you can focus all your attention inside without external distractions. There will be two online guided sessions in the morning, and two in the afternoon.
You’ll receive a link to download the A4 pdf Retreat Guidebook
In the morning you will:
- Take time to reflect on the past year, harvesting realisations and taking stock of where you are now
- Review what is and what is not working well, shine the light on where your energy leaks are, and on what needs to change
- Get clear on what is really important in your life, and where your Soul is guiding you to focus your time, energy and resources
- Use an easy but potent ‘Letting go process’ to begin gently releasing anything that is no longer working
- Use a ‘Permission process’ to uncover key blocks to moving forward
- And more…
In the afternoon
The afternoon will begin with a Conscious Resting meditation session, where we rest deeply and offer the morning up into the silence for clarity and guidance. This is followed by offline time to work with some of the optional activities in the guidebook that are drawn from our 60 plus years’ combined experience in this field. By this time in the afternoon, the stillness is deep and palpable, and everything you focus on will be illuminated by your inner wisdom.
In the last guided session, we will draw all this together in a very real and practical way, leaving you with your own action plan ready to light the way forward.

“I felt held and nurtured so deeply, yet so utterly free to be in stillness. I wish it could have gone on and on. I leave knowing part of it shall remain with me, within me. All I need to do is pause and be still and reconnect.”
o
“Even though there were other people in the house, I still managed to have the most restful and illuminating time.I was surprised how quiet the whole house became, it was if everyone else benefited too.”
o
“I loved the online retreat, I was surprised how well it worked and how deep the stillness was. Knowing that I can find that amount of peace in my own home has inspired me to meditate more often.”

Our intention
