Autumn Reset Retreat
I know after a busy summer, you are craving a day to slow down, step away from the noise, and reconnect with yourself.
A day to breathe. To soften. To remember what it feels like to just BE.
That’s what the next retreat will be all about. Join me in Bective Mill, Co. Meath - and spend your day surrounded by nature, the River Boyne and a group of open hearted, like-minded people.
Bective Mill, Co. Meath
Sunday 11th October | 12.30-5.30pm
Through movement, sound healing, breathwork, ceremonial cacao, journalling, meditation and time in nature, you'll be gently guided to slow down, release what you're ready to let go of and reconnect with what you need now.
Here’s how our day will flow
Gentle, intuitive movement
We’ll begin with a gentle, intuitive movement practice to help shift stagnant energy, open the body and create a sense of spaciousness as you arrive into the day.
Cacao + Reiki
We’ll then settle into our beautiful Ceremony, using cacao as a grounding and heart-opening way to connect more deeply with ourselves.
There will be sound healing instruments, poetry and aromatherapy to make it a deeply sensory and nourishing experience.
And you will receive hands-on Reiki energy healing, allowing you to relax, receive and be held.
Breathwork + Meditation
Next, we’ll move into a powerful breathwork and meditation journey, creating space to access expanded states of awareness, gain clarity around what is ready to shift, and connect more deeply with your creativity, intuition and inner wisdom.
Creative Journalling
You’ll then be guided through a journalling practice to reflect on what came up in the meditation - what you may be ready to release and what you want to create more space for as you move into the next season.
Nature, Hot Box Sauna, Connection
There will be time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Bective Mill, nestled alongside the River Boyne.
After the retreat finishes, you’ll also have the option to stay on and enjoy the Hot Box Sauna which is on the premises. And a dip in the river if you are brave enough!

About your facilitator
Hi, I'm Olivia, founder of The Light Practice - a space where I bring together Reiki energy healing, breathwork, meditation, ceremonial cacao and other holistic practices to help people slow down, reconnect with themselves and feel more grounded and present.
My own journey into this work began through my own experience of healing, self-discovery and learning how to move through life in a way that feels more connected and intentional.
I’m a Reiki Master & Teacher, holistic therapist, cacao facilitator and trainer, and over the past 4 years I’ve had the privilege of holding space for hundreds of people through 1:1 sessions, ceremonies, retreats and Reiki trainings.
My retreats are a little pocket of time away from everyday life where you can slow down, be looked after, connect with yourself and with others, and hopefully leave feeling a little more like you.
I can't wait to welcome you to Bective Mill and share this beautiful afternoon together 🤎
The Power of Breathwork + Cacao
Drinking cacao helps you become more focused and connected to your body
You may feel your heart open, waves of love, joy, oneness and bliss flowing
Stagnant may begin to release, allowing emotions to flow and dissolve
Conscious connected breathwork and cacao can help you access expanded states of awareness, gain clarity on what is ready to shift, and connect more deeply with your intentions, creativity and authentic self
What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is made with integrity in Guatemala - it has been ethically produced by indigenous people who have used it for ceremonial & medicinal purposes for centuries and honour its sacredness.
There is an energy, a spirit, sometimes referred to as Mama Cacao, that works through this plant and helps to activate a beautiful feminine energy within you.
This energy will helps you get out of your head and into your heart, where you can experience deeper relaxation, love, compassion, creativity and connection with yourself.
Cacao is packed with magnesium, iron, calcium, anti-oxidants and other things that make it one of the world’s most nourishing superfoods.
Anandamide - Known as the "bliss molecule", the word "Ananda" is sanskrit and means happiness and really helps to boost our mood and feelings of love, joy and acceptance.
Theobromine - Promotes the release of dopamine with cognitive enhancement properties it improves our focus and concentration, helping us get much deeper into our meditation and helps with connecting to our inner selves.

“Before coming to the retreat I felt anxious and lost. Olivia made me feel so safe and welcome. It was a powerful experience, the energy we shared as a group was out of this world. The cacao ceremony was beautiful the warm fuzzy feeling from the cacao felt like pure love. I loved the meditation and the yoga too. This retreat gave me the guidance and support to look within in a very safe and non judgmental environment! I felt like a brand new person at the end of the day WOW”Carol, July 2025

“For the longest time I contemplated going to a retreat but I was apprehensive about going by myself. If this is you, take this as your sign and go! It will be one of the best decisions you make. Olivia creates a beautiful, strong and powerful retreat. The energised feeling you have after is like no other.”Jenna, June 2024

I attended Olivia's 'Awaken your Inner Goddess' retreat and it was such a beautiful, soulful day from start to finish. Every aspect of it was carefully thought out and planned and all of the little details were so special. We done yoga, a sharing circle, journalling, a workshop on awakening your inner Goddess, cacao ceremony and meditation. The connection and energy between everyone was amazing and I left feeling so fulfilled and uplifted. I would absolutely do this retreat again, it is such a special gift to yourself. Olivia is so inspiring and has the kindest soul. Thank you for such an amazing day!Barbara, April 2025
