ong baths, healing and meditation days,
there’s something for all soul seekers at
Dorset’s Sarpenela Natural Therapies
Centre.
The centre was first established in 2000
by Sarah Lownds, whose passion and deep belief in
natural therapies and a holistic lifestyle developed while
managing spas in the Middle East for 11 years.
And this year she wants to give even more to her
community, opening two new spaces, ‘The Studio’ and
‘The Lodge’, to offer an even wider range of therapies
and classes.
Set in the grounds of Farnham Farmhouse, the
new spaces are nestled in a beautiful walled garden,
surrounded by Dorset’s delightful countryside.
It’s the perfect backdrop for holistic offerings such
as Reiki training, gong baths, heartfelt dance, healing
and meditation days, kindred spirit gatherings and
share groups.
Sarpenela Natural Therapies Centre will be offering
all levels of Reiki training throughout 2017, all taught by
Lownds, a Reiki master.
She says: “If you are seeking healing, or you wish to
use Reiki to help others and you are open and willing to
let this healing energy flow through you then you can
become a Reiki practitioner.” Throughout 2017, as well
as offering Reiki training courses, the centre will also be
running regular Reiki share groups for people to share
their knowledge and experience.
The first Reiki training event this year will be a Reiki
First Degree taking place on March 3-5.
Lownds will also be leading new gong baths in The
Studio space, which she says is a great way to re-
balance, re-energise and re-align mind, body and spirit.
“A gong bath is a form of sound therapy where the
gongs are played in a therapeutic way to bring about
deep relaxation, meditation and healing,” she says. “The
term gong bath means that you are bathed in sound
waves – no water is involved! You will experience the
gong bath lying down comfortably or seated if preferred.
All you have to do is relax, close your eyes and allow
yourself to be bathed in the sound vibrations of the
gongs and shamanic percussion, including therapeutic
chimes, shamanic drums and rattles.”
With a broad mix of other therapeutic treatments,
courses and classes available, the vision to make
Sarpenela a leading healing and wellness centre is well
under way.Find out more about courses, workshops and classes at:
