Goji Retreats was born from my passion for facilitating retreats in beautiful locations that help people reconnect with their mind, body, and soul. The name is a tribute to my much loved dog, Goji, who often accompanies me on my retreats. For me, running retreats is where my heart is at and I hope you will join me on some of them.

This retreat is designed for all fitness levels, so whether you're looking to boost your endurance, deepen your yoga practice, or simply unwind, you'll leave feeling refreshed, empowered, and recharged.

SimonJ Lamb, Qi-Gong Teacher & Story Teller

He has studied with Birkbeck University (coaching), Alan Dolan andOxygen Advantage (breathwork), the Long White Cloud Qigong (movement), and theBio Leadership Fellowship (nature connection).
MiaMacallister, Sound Healer
14 years ago Mia embarked on a journey that changed her life. She spent several years in India,Nepal and Bangladesh. Witnessing sound used in ceremony in temples and monasteries, sound was used to alter our state of consciousness. She wanted to share this with others, to create a sonic soundscape to support you in your inner journey using a selection of instruments and words. Shifting us in to a more receptive brain state where we dive deep in to our inner worlds.Nature’s resonance is the natural frequency of our planet of our environment~ Mia combines nature and sound to help us harmonise our whole body and mind.
Expect to leave feeling recharged, centered, and empowered, with a renewed sense of vitality and connection to both yourself and the world around you. This retreat is not about pushing limits—it's about finding your own rhythm, breathing deeply, and embracing the joy of movement in all its forms.
Rediscover the joy of movement—one step, one breath at a time.
We hope you will join us!
