Welcome…
The Renaissance Sanctuary is a private retreat dedicated to helping those who have found themselves struggling in life. As humans, we are incredibly resilient, but most of our resilience is simply a coping mechanism for avoiding heavier stuff.
So where does all the heavy stuff go?
At The Sanctuary, we hold a space for those brave people who are ready to work within their shadows to understand, locate, and identify how their negative life experiences, learnt behaviours, and inherited values have carved a path to their current destination.
We have a contemporary formula that combines a mindfulness retreat with almost a year’s worth of life coaching, condensed into either an intensive long weekend or a seven-day retreat.
(There is also support before you arrive and a complete aftercare support package once you leave!)
WHAT WE PROVIDE
The Renaissance Retreat is where growth, healing, and development come together. It is a beautiful, safe and secure environment free from judgment and shame, with constant unconditional love and support. Nestled in 36 acres of woodland, you have your own cottage to feel at home and learn new mindfulness techniques whilst on an adventure of self-discovery.
We offer a full one-to-one, intensive retreat designed to impact the immediate trajectory of your life. Together, we deconstruct your life with delicate curiosity, analyse chapters, memories, emotions, and experiences to see how they have impacted both your life and identity to date.
We take our findings from working together, and then we look to reconstruct and evaluate those feelings and findings to rebuild congruent foundations that serve the real, authentic you. All done in a beautiful setting that is light, fun, and life-changing.
Choosing between an immersive long weekend or a seven-day retreat, we provide support both before and after you leave, making it so much more than just a retreat. Remove yourself from the stress and fears of life to relax in nature, where we hold the space for those seeking lasting transformation. The Sanctuary is open year-round and ready to help you change your life.
HOW IT WORKS
Before you even arrive at The Sanctuary, we connect and work together for approximately seven hours over Zoom. You have plenty of time to share your story in a safe and secure environment, my role is to listen carefully and write down your story. This way, when you arrive at The Sanctuary, you can focus on the positives, switch off and relax. The entire process is tailored to your life story and not a one-size-fits-all program/retreat.
When you finally arrive, you will settle into your private cottage and make yourself at home. With 20 years of previous experience consulting in hospitality, you’ll be well taken care of; the stay feels like a country break with an old friend. It’s all-inclusive with food and drinks being provided, and the day-to-day experience is relaxed and nourishing.
The work and development we do is made to feel like it’s not work. We cook, chat, eat, get coffee, and we’re always in conversation. You’ll receive one-to-one coaching around the clock: daily workflow sessions combined with several deep, meaningful practices and long-form sessions. The process is about deconstructing the memories and patterns of the past and then reconstructing a life shaped by healing and transformation. The work is immediate and enduring: we clear old, unwanted negative energy, rewrite patterns, and teach you how to carry the change back into everyday life. You’ll have preparation before you arrive and ongoing aftercare once you leave, because this is a passage and a path of both maturation and enlightenment.
Broken down into three steps.
Step 1: Shadow work - How have my past negative emotions/memories affected who I am today
Step 2: Healing - Process and let go of all that does not serve you
Step 3: Tools, goals and action plans - with mindfulness pushed to the forefront
If you’re ready to stop circling and start making changes, book a complimentary 30-minute call to see if this is the right fit for you.
A QUICK INTRODUCTION
Hi, my name is Oli, and I am the owner and founder of The Met Group and The Renaissance Sanctuary Retreat. This is a stunning place where healing and enlightenment are approached with the love, depth and curiosity they deserve. Throughout this website, you’ll hear my voice within the text because your journey here is extremely personal, and it could be the start of something mind-blowingly profound that you never knew existed.
I’m a Certified Life Coach and Health & Wellness Coach and after overcoming my own personal journey, I made a vow to help others find inner peace through discovery and healing. Over the past five years, my research with ‘The Mind’ has not only been groundbreaking but a breakthrough for those suffering from mental health issues. Changing the way we view and interact with ourselves and our past trauma.
We all have a story, and we all have scars. Too many people think that the only option is to push it down and to keep moving forward. This website has so much information, and each page has a personal video from me explaining how things work in more depth. Please be curious and seek those out.
Remember…You can change! You can find inner peace, love does exist, and joy can be felt for the smallest of things. It is never too late, and the world is very much your oyster.
I am humbled and grateful every day, as I could never have dreamed of the impact The Renaissance Sanctuary would have on people. It all starts with a little bit of courage to say hello.
Marta: “I have been on the journey of self-discovery and self-development for 4 years , I read so many books and gone through so many courses, yet I would always find myself struggling to integrate any of it. I went to look for a coach to work with, when I found The Renaissance Sanctuary. Working with Oli has changed my life!.”
This is your beautiful own 300 year old stone cottage called ‘The Granary’.
