Stunning landscapes, wilderness and tranquility, rare in southern England, and a warm rural welcome await you on Exmoor, one of Britain's breathing places; and the glimpse of wild Red Deer or the native Exmoor Pony, are just a couple of the delights that make Exmoor special.

Exmoor whatever time of year you visit you are sure to experience the full extent of Exmoor's beauty.

Situated in the south west of Britain, Exmoor National Park contains an amazing variety of landscapes within its 267 square miles.

 Crystal Therapy

Humans vibrate at a certain frequency. When we have a disease or are overly happy this vibration changes either up or down. Crystals vibrate at a set frequency, so if we use right crystal vibration with a human imbalance we can bring about vibrational harmony and help our well-being.

 Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese healing system that was developed in the late 19th century. The word Reiki means “universal life force energy” which is everywhere around us. When we are in good health the energy flows freely around the body and we are full of vitality and have generally a positive outlook in life. Stress suppresses the immune system, blocks the flow of energy and causes disease.  Reiki is preventative and curative as it works by eradicating the root cause of the problem – mental, emotional or physical – so the symptoms disappear. During the treatment practitioner places hands on the body in various positions and you draw the energy through the practitioner’s hands.

 Australian Bush Flower Essences

Flower Essences have a very long history  -- they were used even before Christ time for health and healing.  The use of a flower for the purpose of healing was always seen by Aborigines as a pleasurable rite. Disease is the physical manifestation of emotional imbalances. Australian Bush Flower Essences work as catalysts to help resolve a vast range of negative emotional states and heal by helping to bring a person into emotional, spiritual and mental harmony.

We have a special opportunity for all of you who will be going on this trip. Our member Lucas Hovorka from ‘Lucas Massage Therapy’ will be offering massage treatments.
