Description

Welcome to the ‘Compassionate Heart’ Journey – a transformational programme designed to help you nurture the most important relationship you will ever have – the one with yourself.

Welcome to the ‘Compassionate Heart’ Journey – a transformative program for nurturing your relationship with yourself. Say goodbye to cycles of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overwork and hello to self-love, self-care, and self-worth.
Our Soulshine Expert Healers understand the challenge of living with kindness and acceptance towards ourselves. During this program, we’ll take a deep dive into self-compassion, providing practical strategies for kinder living. You’ll gain a better understanding of your inner blueprint and personal barriers to self-love and explore proven self-compassion techniques.

Through neuroscience and Internal Family Systems, we’ll explore the barriers to self-compassion and focus on healing your inner critic parts. We’ll also focus on healthy boundaries, expressing your truth from a place of fierce compassion, and developing practices for greater self-compassion. Your personalised journey also includes two transformational 1:1 treatments with our Expert Facilitators, valued at over 600 euros.

Are you ready to start living with greater kindness, acceptance, and compassion towards yourself?

What past guests have said

“I’d like to thank you, thank you, thank you for what you have released in me in this holistic wellbeing retreat. I haven’t had time or taken the time to look into myself and reconnect with my spirit for some time. I came to the retreat with an open mind and what I have taken away – thanks to you – is beyond my expectations” . Tanya

“Is your spirit a little frazzled? Soul a little dull? Body a little care-worn and uneasy? Are you all out of sparkle? If so, I cannot recommend Soulshine highly enough. A beautiful setting to nurture yourself whole again. A wonderful team of people to take the utmost care of you. Yoga teachers who will help you to bring body & soul back together again in glorious harmony. Some of the most specialist therapists I’ve ever met offering a delicious range of treatments. Without a doubt the best holiday I’ve been on in a hell of a longtime. I’m still so shiny you can see me from space. Go. Go on go on go on go on go on. You’ll never look back.” Christina

“Before I came out to Soulshine, I was looking for somewhere to relax, improve my yoga practise and to be somewhere beautiful. What I got was the feeling that I had been reborn! I gained more emotionally and mentally than I could ever have suspected. Rich and Soulla and the whole team created a space of happiness, harmony and care, where everything was designed to let you work through and find whatever it was you personally needed.”

”I just returned from my second experience which totally exceeded my expectations again! What an amazing week of blissful dynamic and restorative yoga, delicious food, beautiful accommodation, fantastic company and lots of fun and laughter. The team go the extra mile every day to give guests a truly relaxing, positive and transformational retreat experience. I’ve come home on cloud 9, with mind, body and soul nourished and energised and feeling the best I’ve felt for months. Love and hugs.” Sonya Timms

”I had the most amazing experience on this holistic wellbeing retreat. Everything is first class!! The house is beautiful and in a perfect ‘get away from it’ all location. The food is divine, I honestly couldn’t believe that vegan food could be so delicious. I was pampered from the moment I arrived to the moment I left.. in tears, very happy and truly spiritual tears. I was wrapped up in cotton wool and given the time and support to ‘be me’. I took in all the treatments which were wonderful in individual ways. I learnt more about myself than I ever have and I cannot wait to return next year.’ Natalie Brown
