August 23rd New Moon Ceremony

Amanda Waring is a Medicine Woman who runs Sweet Retreat, a unique place of meditation, shamanic healing, reiki, sound therapy , mun-ay-ki , drumming, full moon ceremony and workshops in her Sweet Retreat in West Sussex 

“I work form the heart and endeavour to assist others in gently awakening their own hearts, releasing emotional pain to restore balance and the understanding of their unique gifts. I have been blessed to train from a teenager with many during my life, including the NFSH, Phillipa Pullar, Matthew Manning , Leo Rutherford, Natalya O Sullivan, Goddess of the Grove, Serge kahill, Barbara Brennan and Denise Linn.

I am a certified transcadence therapist and reiki master.

I am an instinctual healer and have developed my own way of working using different techniques including sound and shamanism to help work with the  release  of anger, hurt, fear and denial.

For over thirty years I have studied the shamanic and medicine women’s way, assisting on vision quests and with women’s groups and leading full moon ceremonies in Scotland, Dorset, London and West Sussex. 

In 1994 I set up the Healing Lodge in West London and it was always a joy to see the transformation and understanding that came to so many who sought to strengthen their ability to self heal. 

Now having moved to West Sussex I am delighted to have established the Sweet Retreat! 

As a sacred storyteller my fascination with the Native American Culture led me to adapt, direct and perform in The Education of Little Tree, the story of a Cherokee childhood. I was then invited to make a documentary for radio 4 to interview members of the Cherokee nation. I have performed my medicine stories and spirit songs around the world embracing the spirit of Nature, life and love.

 JUNE 28th At the Sussex Sweet Retreat

A Restful Creative Retreat for Artists, Writers, Visionaries & Soul Seekers

with Amanda Waring

Step away from the noise of everyday life and return to the quiet place where inspiration begins.

Nestled in the heart of the Sussex countryside, this immersive retreat is designed to gently restore creative flow through deep rest, sound healing, nature, ceremony, and soulful connection.

This is not a retreat about pushing harder or “finding success.”
It is a sanctuary for replenishment — a space where your nervous system can soften, your imagination can breathe again, and new ideas can arise naturally from stillness.

Whether you are a writer, artist, musician, filmmaker, therapist, entrepreneur, healer, or simply someone longing to reconnect with your creative spirit, you are warmly welcome.

During our time together you will experience:

• Floating sound baths beneath the sky
• Sound therapy to release creative blocks and awaken inspiration
• Gentle cacao ceremony to warm the heart and open inner vision
• Beautiful spaces to write, sketch, dream, journal, or simply rest
• Nature connection and quiet reflective time
• Sacred circles and nourishing conversation
• Deep relaxation for body, mind, and soul

Imagine floating peacefully in warm water as healing sounds ripple through your body…
Writing beside the trees with birdsong around you…
Gathering in candlelight with cacao and music as creativity begins to move again from within.

Many creatives today are not lacking talent.
They are simply exhausted.

This retreat offers a different rhythm.
A chance to slow down enough to hear yourself again.

Leave feeling rested, inspired, emotionally nourished, and reconnected to the deeper current of your creativity.

Held at Sussex Sweet Retreat with Amanda Waring — poet, ceremonialist, creative catalyst, sound healer, and guide for awakening the heart through creativity, compassion, and soul connection. 10 am - 4pm price 70 pounds per person
