February Retreat

Review 2025

"Red Earth Sanctuary is truly the most magical and non-ordinary place I have ever been. The land, the people, the wisdom, the dance, the food, the pulse of presence and communal healing. Oya and Michael are stewards of a most sacred container for beauty, connection, and soulful embodiment to naturally unfold. The fluid structure that they provide for ritual and reflection allowed me to feel deeply embraced by myself and effortlessly connected with the people around me, despite our first time meeting. And, months after my first visit, I am still unearthing some of the insights I gained from my time there. Oya's wisdom and teachings are ancient, alive, radiant, and a true breath of fresh air. Michael's support and vital offerings are infused with endless love. For anyone who is considering making the pilgrimage to Red Earth... the journey is well worth it" - Maria, Colorado, US

Appointment With Life ~ the Brightness of BEING

Thursday 19th To Tuesday 24th ~

Residential £440, fully inclusive

These are shadowed times filled with anxiety, heartbreak, division, and uncertainty. It is easy to feel overwhelmed or cut off from the love and wisdom that dance within us. And yet, even in the midst of this turbulence, there is a vast heart space, a refuge of tender awareness that cradles and guides us. Our stories are loud and subtle; have you noticed they obscure the Brightness of Beingness, and they make themselves feel even more real in the ways we repeat them.

          Self-Kindness,  walking the pathless path of Presence

In stressed and uncertain times, it’s easy to lose touch with our own hearts—to turn against ourselves, and to feel more separate from each other and from our world. Stress and emotional reactivity often lead to self-blame, self-doubt, and a painful perceived sense of worthlessness. The capacity to be tender - sensitive and responsive to ourselves and others - marks a radical evolutionary shift from a self-centred existence shaped by fear, to a life lived from the realisation of our collective belonging and the preciousness of all life. We can choose, we can make an appointment with life, where care becomes a greater power and force in the world than fear

Self Compassion  

Have you decided to be alive an embodied presence on this earth? Are you available? Are you vital, open, flexible, flowing and growing? Are you allowing yourself to change?

You must decide to be alive each day, each moment. Have you? 

We can say, Goodness, this is my life, what am I waiting for?  Let's give ourselves wholeheartedly, lovingly and with some vigour to ordinary daily living ~ learn how to be loving in our being and learning not just to be what we think we should be, or others' idea of us;

Walking this earth together, each step a fresh new beginning, each step a precious chance to start over; I wholeheartedly invite you to keep your 'appointment with life' and join your tribe in person here at Red Earth for a tender exploration into the
