Having started out doing detox retreats at Chateau Bellenau in Normandy in 2003 we plan to return to this beautiful setting, a short trip across the English channel, for a full healing retreat for mind body and spirit. We have one date only for our France detox planned for September 2012. Take a look at the programme, the venue and our experienced dedicated therapists support team, all passionate about helping you on your health and life journey. Discounts available for early reservations.

After several successful and most enjoyable one day healing retreats in 2011 and given huge need in the current climate simply for stress release I am planning to continue these self help workshops to offer, emotional healing and stress release in 2012.

Each Stress Release Day will teach and then use one powerful simple technique, either EFT or EmoTrance, which guests will learn and use for self healing and also through partner work.

In addition to experiencing real healing and inner changes during the workshop, guests will take home simple powerful techniques as skills for life, to help manage and release stress and handle the  challenges of life with grace and ease and learn how to help friends and family too.

I first fell in love with Egypt in December 2004 on my first trip where I stayed at Sharm el sheikh and did a Christmas Day trip to Cairo. From the outset I was fascinated by the culture, the architecture, the exotic fragrances and oriental cuisine, the natural beauty of the Red Sea region, the jaw dropping extremes of Cairo and not least, the warmth and the spirit of the Egyptian people. I was hooked so choosing Egypt as a venue for my healing retreats was a natural for my own enjoyment and to share the joy and mystique of this wonderful country with others.

We have a few opportunities for therapists to work on a healing or detox retreat, joining as a member of the staff team in exchange for a discount place or free place.

The therapies we have regular need for are : Massage, EFT , EmoTrance, Yoga and Meditation plus Self Help Workshop facilitation. Therapists joining our retreats who have other therapy skills may offer these as optional extras to guests.

Therapists working on our healing retreats still participate in the rest of the programme as much as they are able or desire to, given the working hours they have agreed to offer.

EmoTrance is a simple natural process of transforming our emotional state. It works by paying attention to the physical sensations in the body that accompany our emotions and using our intention to soften and flow, releasing the internal pressure of our negative emotion and restoring the flow of our new positive emotion. It all boils down to the fact that 'it's all energy' and simply a question of 'is it flowing?' or 'is it blocked?' Simple? Yes, but the implications of this discovery are far reaching and profound.

EFT Emotional Freedom Technique was developed by Gary Craig. EFT is based on the discovery that our negative emotions arise from a disturbance in the body’s subtle energy system, associated with a thought or memory.

EFT is a simple way of releasing this energy disturbance associated with a distressing thought by tapping or holding specific energy release points on the body so we use and teach EFT on our healing retreats. These special points are acupressure points, corresponding to end points of the major meridians or energy pathways in the energy body.

Often referred to as the ‘tapping technique’ or ‘acupuncture without the needles’, EFT is simple and easy to use, and is extremely powerful and effective for releasing stress, creating emotional freedom and real changes in our lives whether we use it for self help or with the help of a practitioner.

Audio recordings of a one day workshop with Master EmoTrance Trainer Sandra Hillawi. A great way to understand more about your emotions, your energy system, how EmoTrance works to help with emotional healing, to manage your emotional state, the way you respond to life and to help you feel better.

"The audios are really fantastic. I really think they complement your ebook "Love Clinic". This tapes show your ebook in real life. Your explanations are superb and down to earth. Even a lay person can understand even if he doesnt know anything about energy psychology. The sound is a bit distant in some parts but overall the audios are really awesome. Great gift for a starter like me."

Well this was a real mixed event, ending on a wonderful high thankfully!

Once again guests arrived at Sayadeen Village Nuweiba for the second detox retreat at this resort. We were 9-11 guests, 2 left after week 1 and 4 more arrived for week 2. The staff team was myself, Sandra Hillawi, the sparkling and amazing Jo Hogarty for Yoga and beautiful Lynda Jakiro for massage.

It was good to be back at Sayadeen, to be welcomed with warm smiles by the resort staff again and to soak up the stunning views across the Gulf of Aqaba, mountains behind and to the right, the sea and Saudi mountains in front and to the left.

Looks can be deceptive. They say don't judge a book by it's cover. This is true of Sayadeen Village, the home of our healing and detox retreats in Egypt.

In beautiful Mezina Bay in Nuweiba, nestled between Sinai mountains, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Saudi Arabian mountains across the sea sits Sayadeen. Somewhere between a camp and a hotel, three stars they say, some would argue less, others would say more.... those who take the time to dig deeper discover the true Spirit of Sayadeen and understand what they mean when they say 'Sayadeen is a State of Mind'.

For all those who seek to escape the cold winter weather at Christmas, or simply seek a healthy alternative to the usual overindulgent festive season, we have the perfect solution in our Christmas and New Year Detox Retreat. Starting dates 26 December 2010 and 2 January 2011 with Special THREE FREE Therapies Christmas Gift bundled in. Why not treat yourself this Christmas or someone close to you with a very different gift of health and wellbeing...in the sun!

What a wonderful place it was, at Al Sayadeen Village, Nuweiba and at last here are the photos and report back from this healing retreat October-November 2010. Yoga, raw foods, juices, meditation, energy healing, dancing and great natural beauty. Enjoy!

On 27th October 2010 Sandra Hillawi is celebrating her Birthday !!

As part of her celebration Sandra is giving away £100's of Discount Vouchers as gifts for use against detox retreats in the UK December 2010 and in Egypt January 2011.
