SOAKENCY is located in a small remote hamlet in Cumbria on the Scottish Borders, located very close to the Scotland-England border. Our hamlet is situated in a remote, rural area, surrounded by nature, woodland walks, rivers and birdsong the area is the ideal place to unwind and relax.

THE ART OF HEALING is a personalised retreat to connect with your inner landscape, regulate your nervous system, receive sound, get creative and be in nature - the ultimate mix of therapies to tend to your mind, body and spirit.

Sound Therapy: 3 treatments spanning 3 days, 2 x Acutonics Treatments and finishing off with a 1-2-1 Sound Journey all of which regulates your nervous system, calms the spirit creating harmony within to heal.

Art making: Historically, before I trained in Acutonics & Sound and before I set up Soakency, I had a background of teaching at the University of Creative Arts - spanning 8 years, as a sessional senior lecturer, teaching fashion, art, media and promotion, drawn from my knowledge of running my own Creative Communications Agency based in East London for 14 years and my own art making. Making and focusing on creating art, places our subconscious in a restful mediative flow, our body, mind and spirit rests. Ive been making art myself for decades and have materials for your use from collage, watercolours, mosaic and many other pieces of materials! We will sit together and have some fun making something one afternoon during your retreat. All materials provided.

Tree bathing and forest walk and perhaps a waterfall – nature provides all we need to regulate our nervous system, lessen anxiety, supporting mental restoration and being in awe of Mother Nature. We will drive to our destination, park up and walk – duration 2/3 hours.

Accommodation and full board is offered, however if you feel more inclined to seek out your own space there are plenty on offer not far away.

The above is an example of a 1-2-1 retreat over 4 nights/3 days for a solo traveller, we also offer smaller retreat/stays offering variables to guests, for example:- solo travellers, a group, a couple of friends or couples all can be organised and include smaller offerings; Acutonics treatment + lunch, Acutonics treatment + supper and overnight stay, personal or group sound journey - all of which are bespoke, so please get in touch about all the above if interested and we can discuss what is convenient and right for you.
