Join Rachel Petheram of Catkin Flowers in the beautiful setting of the walled Kitchen Garden at Doddington Hall.

A floral retreat is a powerful and beautiful combination of reiki, flowers and nature-based creativity. It is held in Rachel’s floral haven – a purpose built studio and flower therapy garden in the walled Kitchen Garden at Doddington Hall.

Who is a Floral Retreat for?

This is for anyone who is feeling a bit frayed around the edges, who may be at a crossroads or transition in their life, or for anyone who would like a bit of peace and respite, immersed in nature and surrounded by flowers.

What does a Floral Retreat include?

Flowers have an energy and an ability to heal and transform. They have different ‘personalities’, each with its own energetic signature and we may be drawn to different flowers at different times depending on our own needs. Finding the space to listen to what they are saying provides scope for creating beautiful personal transformation through connection with flowers and nature. I can teach people how to make beautiful flower arrangements but as a Reiki master I can also teach them about themselves, using flowers.

We will spend the morning focussing on you and using flowers to gently show you what you need to be listening to. In the afternoon we will make a beautiful arrangement together. There is always joy in creating something beautiful, but also, the focus is to be with the flowers, to use botanical creativity to help to process what you may have worked through in the morning and to work with the flowers in an intuitive and playful way. It is amazingly powerful and a beautiful tool to find some mental space and peace.
