Join Maria & Levin in Cornwall for a powerful retreat - The Release Retreat

Thursday 23th July - Monday 27th July

The Release Retreat is an immersive journey into letting go—of tension, old emotional weight, and the constant pull of everyday life. It is an invitation to soften, breathe, and return to who you are beneath it all.

Held in a sacred space in Cornwall, this retreat weaves together sound healing, ceremony, and deep rest to gently guide your nervous system out of stress and back into balance. Through vibration and ritual, the body unwinds, the heart opens, and what is no longer needed can finally be released.

This is not about fixing yourself. It is about creating space.

Come as you are. Leave lighter.

BOOK YOUR SPACE

The Release Retreat is a carefully designed to peel back the layers of what you have been carrying. Each ceremony guides you towards powerful emotional, energetic, and spiritual release.

Over the days we journey together, you will be invited to move, breathe, feel, and soften in ways that allow old stories, stored emotions, and protective patterns to loosen and fall away. This is not a process of force, but of permission — allowing what is ready to be released to finally leave.

We gather as a community, held in safety and respect, where each person’s healing supports the collective. As layers of hurt, fear, shame, and regret are gently shed, a deeper sense of freedom, clarity, and connection naturally emerges. You are not doing this alone — you are witnessed, supported, and held as you meet yourself more fully.

The retreat weaves together a rich tapestry of practices, including conscious movement, breathwork, sound healing, Reiki, and immersive group workshops. These are balanced with sacred rituals such as a fire ceremony for intentional release, forest walks to reconnect with the natural world, and optional ceremonial cacao to open the heart and deepen presence.

Every element of the retreat has been designed to create a safe, transformative container where you can let go of what no longer serves you and step back into your body, your truth, and your own inner freedom.

“I came to Maria’s retreat feeling heavy with guilt and shame around choices I had made in my life. I didn’t realise just how much I was carrying until I was held in a space where I felt safe to feel.

“The experience was truly life-changing. Through the rituals, sound healing, breathwork, and the way the group was guided, I was able to release so much that I had been holding onto for years. There was no judgement, only deep compassion and safety, which allowed me to be honest with myself and finally let go.

It was also so beautiful to be held in a space co-facilitated by Maria and Levi. Maria is such an incredible space holder, and having a grounded, compassionate male presence brought a completely different depth to the experience and made me feel incredibly safe, supported, and seen from another perspective.

I especially loved the variety of practices — from the fire ceremony to the sound journeys and sharing circles — and the sense of community that formed so naturally. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more at peace with my past and the path I have chosen. I’m excited for my future!

I am deeply grateful for this experience and for the way Maria and Levi hold such a powerful, loving container.”

- Joanna Lewis, Sheffield

Our meals

Breakfast 09:00 | Lunch 13:00 | Dinner 19:00

Food at The Release Retreat is an integral part of the healing journey. Each day begins with a fresh ginger shot, followed by nourishing breakfasts of chia seed puddings and seasonal fruit salads designed to gently awaken the body and support digestion.

Lunches are light yet grounding, with vibrant salads and grilled fish to keep you energised and clear for the deeper work of the day. In the evenings, we gather around comforting stews and warming soups, served with home-baked bread — food that nourishes not just the body, but the heart.

All meals are lovingly prepared by Maria’s mum, whose cooking carries the warmth and care of generations. Using local produce and herbs gathered from the surrounding land, every dish is infused with simplicity, intention, and deep nourishment. This is food made to support your healing, your energy, and your sense of being held.

Water and tea are available all day, and both still and sparkling, so you stay hydrated and supported. Fresh fruit and snacks are always on hand, allowing you to follow the natural rhythm of your body’s hunger and energy.

LOCATION & TRAVEL

The Erth - Cornwall, UK

The Release Retreat is held at Erth, a beautiful medieval manor house set on its own private peninsula in Cornwall, just outside the riverside village of St Germans. This grand yet welcoming villa sits on a hill, surrounded by the tidal River Lynher, offering sweeping views across the water toward Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor.

Erth is both spacious and intimate, with elegant rooms, warm communal spaces, and a sense of being held by history and nature. The house has been designed for retreats, with plenty of room for gatherings, quiet moments, and deep rest. Its elevated position gives the feeling of being removed from the world, while still being just minutes from the mainland.

The surrounding land is private and peaceful, with no public footpaths, allowing us to move freely through fields, along the river, and down to small hidden beaches at low tide. There are also gentle access points to the River Lynher for wild swimming and time by the water.

Erth is located in southeast Cornwall, close to the Devon border, just 10 minutes from Saltash train station and around 20 minutes from Plymouth. With direct trains from London, Bristol, and Birmingham, it is easy to reach, yet feels deeply secluded once you arrive.
