The two imperfect yet determined, love-driven people who built this place from the bare soil of this sacred land:

One shamanic wild witch and one incredibly talented artist, builder, graphic designer - you name it, he does it.

In January 2021, we opened the doors of The Merkabah Retreat here in beautiful Dorset.

We had a vision that would change lives, bring people together, heal their hurts, allow friendships to bloom, and let relationships grow and flourish.

And we’ve had so much fun along the way.

Yes, we fought. Yes, we cried, bled, bruised, ached, and broke. We were cash-poor a lot of the time...but we never gave up.

Because we had a vision for all of you, right here in our hearts, to bring our dream to life and share this beautiful place with the world.

I am a shamanic healer, born to this path. I teach yoga, drawing on the power of the land and spirit. I work with the energies of crystals, feathers, sacred wood, and stones. I use sound in my work through voice, gongs, bowls, rattles, and drums. I work with the nine Goddesses and Morgens, celebrate each turn of the wheel, and embrace the power of fire in ceremony. I live by the powers of the land and its ancestral spirits.

Life can be serious, so I welcome love, fun, and laughter into my work.

I am lucky to have Matt beside me. He has built this place literally from scratch. He is an acclaimed artist.

The powerful Merkabah Goddess is his creation - 18 months went into making that beautiful painting, and it fills his heart as each print goes out to someone’s home. She carries multiple blessings and powerful spirit.

We are deeply honoured and humbled to welcome you all here.

Whether you are facilitating your own retreats or coming to experience the many magical offerings we provide, we offer it all with love and gratitude.

We are Merkabah ~ One Body. One Light. One Spirit.

With love,
Claire and Matt x
