Most of us have a very busy life and finding time to put our spiritual pathway first can be challenging. Attending a retreat is a commitment to your awakening that will benefit you in many ways, including but not limited to:
  • Being in contact with like minded people
  • A quiet place to meditate
  • A reflective place to contemplate or simply sit in silence
  • A safe space to allow any unresolved feelings to come to the surface to be released
  • Time to focus on yourSelf
​Many people who attend retreats report a deepening in their meditation and a greater level of peace both during and after retreat.
​Our awakening can be accelerated in many ways by attending a retreat as our inner commitment to the Truth of who we are starts to bear fruit.
​Saying yes to retreat means saying yes to your awakening
It is saying that this is the most important thing in your life. After all, time is our greatest commodity and when we give time solely to our pathway our asking is always answered. Being on retreat will deeply change you in a beautiful way, in a way that you perhaps cannot put into words afterwards. But your heart will know the Truth. Remember, going on retreat is not selfish. As we awaken to the Truth, our light shines brighter and we are more able to love those around us in our family, work and social life. Dedicating time for your own self is helping those around you in ways that will unfold more and more.
It does not matter how long you have meditated or what type of spiritual practice you have done. Retreat is open to anyone that is fully committed to their awakening. If you have any questions about retreat and whether you should attend or not please email evolutionofspirit@gmail.com. Please do not attend retreat unless you are ready to wake up; it is not a holiday or "time out" from life; it is a sacred and profound experience to be treasured inside your heart. ​​​
Below are Testimonials from students who have attended the retreats
"I have just finished my second  retreat with Helen and I love  these 5 days of silence filled with  meditation, qi gong, satsangs and sharings, all l held within Helens  deep yet simple guidance, and her love, grace  and  generosity. Each time after these days of retreat  with Helen I feel myself drop deeper into the peace I know I am,  as is happening with all I do with Helen ....through her teachings life becomes evermore delightful."

"There are no words to adequately describe the amazing blessings that the retreat at the Earth Spirit centre has given us. Helen’s teachings, delivered with such clarity, depth and passion, could only be described as transformational pointers to Truth. Her unconditional loving presence  provided the perfect atmosphere for old limiting patterns to arise and to be experienced again in the vast, loving presence of consciousness. A big thank you also for her team - Maggie, Ian and Claire - who allowed everything to flow so smoothly. 
The Qi gong sessions, delivered so sensitively by Ian, were the perfect accompaniment to all our emotional and spiritual  journeys. 
We highly recommend Helen’s retreats and will definitely be back!"

"Today I am completing a very deep and profound silent retreat offered by Helen Hamilton. She truly is an awakened being that has the gift to guide you to your own awakening experience. I have spent the last 18 months doing online courses with Helen and I treated myself for my 55th birthday by flying to England to participate in her silent retreat. This beautiful retreat center is nestled down a country lane with thatched cottages, rose gardens and roaming farm lands near Glastonbury. The lush greenery, abundant bird life and peaceful setting is transformative in itself.
Gently guided with very direct instructions over these past 5 days, a group of us (20 participants) ventured to look behind the curtain of who and what we really are. As the hours passed the intensity has risen and we have all been experiencing real fundamental healing. To really accessing presence. I can see I have been really doing a lot of beautiful spiritual work over my life. Today I finally feel I am being it now. The mind has calmed down and I am still here. It is such a beautiful love, a real safety , a kindness , peace itself. So today I start a new journey realizing more of what I and You actually are. I’m very excited and yet in a very peaceful way. I feel so blessed and grateful."

"​Attending the Earth Spirit Retreat with Helen has been transformational and life changing. I attended virtually from my home in Canada and despite the physical distance between us, I felt intimately connected to everyone attending. I’ve left this retreat feeling more peace, more joy and a deeper, richer and more loving relationship with myself and the beautiful like-minded beings that attended. This would not be possible without the incredibly direct and powerful teachings of Helen Hamilton. She has an amazing gift of meeting people where they are on their path with deep compassion and understanding. At the same time powerfully and directly pointing to truth. She exudes loving kindness and teaches from her own direct experience of awakening. I have a deep, complete and utter respect and love for Helen and highly recommend her teachings to everyone seeking truth. Thank you, dearest Helen, my heart is open, joy is rising and perhaps for the first time ever, I am revelling in the beauty, magnificence and mystery of life itself."

I’m full of gratitude and love for continued support and unconditional love. She is a wonderful being."

​"Helen's presence and words radiate loving kindness so that you can't help but also be kind to yourself. My deepest gratitude go to here uplifting words of encouragement.
