Empowering and fun spirituality.
Champney’s Springs, England, 8+9 Nov 2025
About this Retreat
We all want to find peace, to be happy, connect more, and live a life that matters - in other words, we want to heal and know thyself.
To do this, we often get busy fixing and changing ourselves and achieving lots of things. We may also turn to spirituality, and before long, end up with a very long ‘Spiritual Things To Do List’ that we now need to ‘do’ and master - in order to ascend, transcend or ‘get there’. But what if feeling whole and being yourself can be less busy or time consuming, and much more fun?
With his usual combo of common sense, humour, story telling, insight, enjoyable exercises and meditations, Sandy will guide you on a journey of healing and knowing yourself - for inner calm, wellness, true wealth and spiritual awakening.
Join us for this weekend retreat held at Champney’s Springs Resort in the heart of the English countryside. This Soul Calm Retreat includes eight group gatherings - with inspiring interactive talks by Sandy and powerful guided meditations - and full access to the spa facilities (for those staying on-site), and time to socialise and explore the resort.
This retreat gives us the chance to connect in person, to learn, grow, and hang out - in our retreat space and socially over dinner. We will go deep and explore some big ideas, you will learn and use the Soul Calm meditations, and you will gain a new understanding of yourself and life.
Benefits of Soul Calm
Soul Calm consists of two primary philosophies and meditation techniques:
Heal Thyself returns you to the origins of ‘healing’. It can deepen your mental, emotional and spiritual strength and resilience and is for enlivening and embodying higher (healing) states of being.
★ Support Your Self-Healing On All Levels
★ Learn How Your Body Affects Your Mind
★ Reduce Stress & Worry, Find Inner Calm
★ Increase Resilience & Confidence
★ Be Better Equipped to Face Life Events
★ Access Healing Forgiveness & Hope
★ Connect More With Yourself & Others
★ Discover Meditation’s Health Benefits
Sandy will teach the ‘Heal Thyself’ Soul Calm philosophy and meditation technique - for more peace, hope, healing and empowerment. He will also give guidance for making meditation more impactful, relaxing and enjoyable.
Know Thyself is for developing your spiritual understanding and ‘soul connection’, avoiding the common spiritual traps (that can strengthen the ego and slow growth), and offers a ‘non-toxic’ empowering, liberating and fun form of spirituality.
★ Discover the Real Purpose of Spirituality
★ Reduce Judgement, Increase Self-Love
★ Know How ‘Love & Light’ Can Turn Dark
★ Shift from Spiritual Confusion to Clarity
★ Reduce Stress/Struggle, Find Presence
★ Be Authentic & Live More Consciously
★ Learn Super Powerful Sanskrit Mantras
★ Gain a Non-Toxic Fun Form of Spirituality
Sandy will teach his ‘Know Thyself’ Soul Calm meditation technique and introduce you to some really deep spiritual ideas and possibilities; so you gain a rare understanding of spirituality and self-realisation.
Testimonial
“Sandy’s retreats are very special and I would wholly recommend going to anyone. Such a very gifted teacher who understands and emanates deeply wise spiritual concepts and practices, yet manages to convey them in a modern, practical and easy to apply way. Within the retreats you are gently calmed on so many levels and given a loving and safe space to allow yourself to learn, open up and understand more about yourself and how to navigate your life in the best way.”
Emma, Jersey

Testimonial
“Working with Sandy online and attending his in-person retreat has been life-changing for me. He helped me not only return to optimal health but has taught me how to quieten my mind and rest in peaceful awareness. I feel happier than since I was a kid! His combination of trauma-aware therapy and spiritual guidance is the full package - so you really can transform your life!”

Personal Invitation
“I’ve been meditating since 2007 and I was a ‘monk’ in a ‘spiritual community’ for 14 years - which turned out to be a cult - but that’s a story for during this retreat! I created Mind Calm in 2014, followed by Body Calm in 2015. During the past decade, and since getting out of the cult, I’ve gained a new understanding of meditation and what I call ‘non-toxic spirituality’, which has made a huge difference to my own peace and quality of life. So much so, I’m now excited to share Soul Calm - which I think you’re going to love! Soul Calm is my final C.A.L.M. technique and goes deeper than anything I’ve ever shared before. It offers an empowering, liberating and fun form of spirituality. Don’t miss this very rare opportunity to learn Soul Calm with me on retreat.”

Testimonial
“Sandy‘s retreat was a masterclass in coming ‘Home’… not to some external dwelling but by reconnecting through mind, body and soul to that peaceful silent inner space, that’s always available to us - but we so often forget about and miss. His subtle ability to hold the room and create space for those within it, to connect internally and also with each other, through his Calm techniques, playful mind exercises and meditations, is powerful, can be life-changing, and creates an energy that can only be experienced in person. I found some old friends and made some new ones and I left the ‘beautiful bubble’ to return ‘Home’ feeling lighter, brighter and calmer.”

Testimonial
“Often retreats inspire you when you are there, disconnected from the world for a few days, only to experience an evaporation of inspiration when the realities of “real life” bite in again. Not so with this retreat. Sandy encouraged us to reconnect with the oasis of loving calm within us and gave us simple yet profound techniques to help us. As a result my relationships have changed hugely and I am still experiencing the calm loving peace within me. Of course, those to whom I relate have also changed and the ripples continue to flow out, out to others they relate to, and again and again. I cannot thank Sandy enough for the positive changes in my life.”

Testimonials
“Sandy has a fun, loving and soothing approach to sharing his knowledge and is amazing at holding space for the full range of human emotions. I’ve never felt so seen, heard and understood by so many people at once. I’m really looking forward to the next time because I loved every second.”
Angi, England
“When I signed up for the retreat, one of my main aims was to connect, in person, with Sandy and the other attendees. I wanted to feel the energy of meditating together and to enjoy exploring topics as a group. I wanted some time out from my day-to-day life to relax and focus on me.
In fact, I got all of that and a whole lot more. Not only did I come home more relaxed, having made some new friends, I reconnected with something much deeper. I reconnected with my Self. I felt a steadiness inside that had been missing. I had been so busy rushing around in my life that I didn’t realise. It felt good to slow down, to be inwardly attentive, and to learn from Sandy and the others in the room. I feel more focussed, more able to deal with life challenges, and more free to just be me. And that feels good.”
