Stillness Sanctuary Course – A Six Week Journey of Self-Discovery

NEW for 2026

Be nourished and inspired in the collective stillness of this new 6 week course with Marion and Jan.

When the mind and body is quiet and relaxed, it is easier to know what is right for you. At this time of intense personal and planetary change, the only constant we can rely on is our own connection to the source of our soul’s wisdom.

On this course, we will create a sacred and supportive space to gather resources and realisations to help us come back to ourselves.

Stillness will be our container and guide as we explore:

  • How to deepen our own personal connection to stillness and higher wisdom
  • Simple and practical ways to soothe our nervous system
  • How our genetic legacy and conditioned behaviours still influence us today
  • The dark night of the soul, the stages in our soul’s evolution and our spiritual journey
  • How to befriend our emotions and thoughts with kindness & compassion
  • Ways to weave simple practices into everyday life
  • and more…

    What previous course participants have said about working with Marion & Jan…

    “There are so many things I love about working with Marion; the attention to detail, the love of beauty, the ruthless commitment to truth and the absolute luxury of just indulging in effortlessness. She follows the call of the participants and shifts gears when she needs to, this is an incredible gift that inspires and deeply holds a group.”

    “Thanks so much Marion and Jan, I can’t express how much love and respect I have for you both. You have both transformed my life beyond belief by sharing the way you do, and words will never convey my gratitude to you both.”

    “I have realised how much you and your work have totally changed my life, you and Jan have given me tools and resources that I can now see that I use every day, thank so much!”

    “Your courses and events are always so beautifully structured, I am always surprised how powerful even the simplest exercises are and how they lead to life changing realisations. Everything feels effortless and has an easy and natural flow yet is intense and deep. I like the way you participate too, it gave us permission to go deeper and made us feel connected as a group.”

    “Thank you for a wonderful course, you hold us all in such a peaceful, restorative and energising space with your beautiful presence, profound and deep meditations and Conscious Resting that just wraps us all in cosy blanket of stillness.”

    “Marion and Jan make such an incredible team, setting a gold standard of how to run programmes.”

    Marion Young

    Marion Young

    Marion has over 30 years’ experience as a therapist, meditation and group facilitator. She is passionate about the benefits of silence and stillness, and of following the natural rhythms of rest and action.

    Marion often spends long periods of time in silence, including a number of nine night retreats, and this has been integral to the creation of her courses, programmes and retreats, to which she also brings her extensive experience of guiding her clients and groups into silence.

    As an Accredited Brandon Bays Journey Practitioner, an NLP Practitioner, Meditation Teacher and Group Facilitator Trainer, Marion facilitates spiritual mentoring programmes, courses, workshops and has an international private therapy practice, both in person and on line.

    Jan Collis

    Jan Collis Silent Retreat facilitator
    From working in education while her children were young, to later being a company director in the construction industry, Jan’s life was profoundly changed when she met Marion over twenty years ago. This led her to the work of Brandon Bays ‘The Journey’, and in 2010 she completed her training as a Journey Practitioner and then as an NLP practitioner.

    Supporting others has been at the core of everything she does, and Jan continues her private therapy practice, personal development and training, deepening her connection to the silence and the wonder that can be found there.

    With extensive experience in supporting others to access this presence in themselves, Jan is now an integral part of the team on many of Marion’s events.

    Marion and Jan will draw upon their wealth of experience of leading stillness and self-enquiry events, retreats and programmes for groups, as well as supporting their clients on their individual spiritual journeys.

    “I can honestly say that Marion is one of the most gifted and dedicated practitioners that I have ever had the privilege of working with. she has the rare and beautiful ability to make you feel completely safe and deeply heard, she is reassuring without ever overwhelming. Through her profound Journey work and a lifetime of wisdom and experience she leaves absolutely no stone unturned.”

    Carolina

    “Marion’s attention to detail is exceptional. It’s in how she holds the space, how she listens, and how she tunes in to what’s really needed in the moment. That level of awareness makes a real difference and sets her work apart. Her ability to integrate a wide range of modalities with such grace and precision makes her work not only powerful but deeply human.”

    Earl Talbot – Coach, mentor, retreat facilitator & co-author of ‘Leading with Self Awareness’

    “The spaces Marion facilities are powerful, safe and one of my favourites places. I’ve been on many of Marion’s residential and day retreat as well as her online support. I come back time and time again because Marion is real, grounded and her ability to hold stillness is beyond beautiful. The day I discovered Marion’s work is the day my life changed.”

    Denice Cartright – Author of ‘Life’s Simple Remedies’ and ‘Life’s Simple Reflections’

    “I thought I knew myself, but it turns out I didn’t. Emotions and memories I had long buried, bubbled up to the surface during my process with Marion. It was like shining a torch on my psyche and seeing that there were hidden bits longing for freedom. I wholeheartedly recommend Marion. She is a wise, compassionate and gentle guide.”
