While “psychic retreats” is a catch-all term, there is great nuance within the label, with specialist focuses including intuition development retreats aimed at honing skills such as clairvoyance and involving exercises like meditation, energy work and guided visualisations; mediumship development retreats where guests develop their ability to connect with the spirit world and communicate with loved ones who have passed on through practices like mediumship and spirit communication exercises; and divination retreats where the focus is on developing skills in practices such as tarot reading, astrology and numerology.
“I booked onto a psychic retreat specifically designed for those experiencing grief and it was a bit of a crazy mix of womb therapy (a holistic abdominal massage, aimed at promoting physical and emotional well-being by addressing potential imbalances or tensions related to the uterus and pelvic region), somatic healing (which refers to the practice of using vibrational frequencies to promote healing and balance through playing instruments such as gongs, drums and Tibetan singing bowls), astrology, tarot card reading and spiritual mediumship.”.
“As people seek comprehensive approaches to wellbeing, the appeal of psychic retreats increases because they address multiple aspects of health and personal development,” Higgins adds.
“Psychic retreats offer an opportunity to step away from everyday stresses and focus on personal growth, spiritual connection, and self-discovery.”.
“At the core, the purpose of running [psychic] retreats is to provide individuals with a safe space to deepen their understanding of themselves and explore their spiritual paths in a supportive and serene environment,” she says.
