The Mind, Body, Energy Retreat

Where energy restores, breath deepens, and nature heals

May 9–11, 2025 | Fritton Lake, Norfolk

Move. Breathe. Flow. Restore.

Fritton Lake is a hidden sanctuary tucked within a 1,000-acre rewilding estate in the Norfolk countryside — surrounded by ancient woodland, open water, and thriving wildlife, it offers the space to breathe, reflect, and gently return to yourself.

This healing weekend retreat is designed to support deep restoration of mind, body, and your energy. With a focus on presence, breath, and natural movement, it invites you to slow down, flow, and reconnect to your inner flow.

Under the powerful May moon, when our bodies, like the tides, are pulled to realign - this immersive weekend invites you to soften, slow down, and reconnect with your natural rhythm.

You’ll flow through gentle outdoor classes, enjoy delicious and nourishing meals using seasonal, local ingredients, and relax in the warmth of the 16th-century Clubhouse — or opt for a peaceful stay in the Koto Bush Cabin, surrounded by trees.

Over the weekend, you’ll experience:

• Tai Chi & QiGong to harmonise body and mind

• Restorative meditations and energy healing to gently release and renew

• A heart-opening cacao ceremony to set intentions

• Floating sauna sessions on the ancient lake

• Wild swimming (optional) in one of the UK’s cleanest lakes

• Nourishing meals prepared with fresh, seasonal, local ingredients

• Forest walks, firepits by the water & peaceful moments to simply be

• Full access to private club facilities (heated pool, gym, tennis courts, and trails)

You’ll be guided by three experienced teachers & energy practitioners throughout the weekend:

Roxani Eleni Garefalaki — Reiki Master, Five Element Acupuncturist, Qi Gong & Tai Chi teacher, and Alexander Technique practitioner

Sue Alexander — Wellness Coach, Reiki Master, and co-founder of Rijooviness, bringing radiant energy and decades of wisdom in women’s vitality, purpose, and healing

Maria Alvarado — Retreat Host, Reiki Master, Sound & Energy Practitioner.

Optional 1:1 Healing Treatments with Sue, tailored to the Five ElementsEarth, Air, Water, Fire & Ether — these sessions offer personalised support to help you leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply rebalanced.

• Reflexology

• Lomi Lomi Massage

• Cranial Massage

• Aromatherapy

• Theta Healing

• Zone Face Lift

If you feel called to restore your nervous system and energy body and seek clarity of mind, lightness of body, renewal of spirit, this is for you.

This retreat isn’t about doing more. It’s about tuning in — finding stillness, reconnecting to your body’s wisdom, and restoring balance in an unhurried, natural setting.

Whether you’re flowing through an energy practice, soaking in the stillness of the lake, or indulging in a deeply nourishing treatment — this is more than a weekend away.

It’s a full reset for your whole being. You’ll leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more in tune with your natural flow — with tools and rituals to carry into everyday life.

“What a wonderful experience! My Zen Retreats absolutely blew me away. As a health coach I promote healthy living, and this experience had it all — Qi-Gong on the beach, yoga by a stunning lodge, deeply healing meditations, great food and even better company. I didn’t want to leave! Can’t wait to see what Maria offers next.” — Rebecca, Health Coach
