Göcek, Turkey Renewed Horizons Healing Retreat, hosted by meditation teacher and holistic coach Nikki Hillhouse, will take place from 18-25 October 2025 in the serene Turkish countryside of Göcek. UK-based spiritual mentor and guide Lisa Andrews will be joining the retreat, offering compassionate, intuitive support to women navigating grief. Reiki Master Angie will also bring her extensive knowledge of Reiki, chakra balancing, and crystal healing. Set against panoramic views of the Mediterranean and Taurus Mountains, the retreat provides a nurturing space for women processing loss, whether of a loved one, relationship, health, or identity, to find healing, reconnection, and renewed hope.

A healing retreat in nature


Grief touches every life, yet it rarely arrives in a single form. While the loss of a loved one is often the most recognised, grief can also emerge after divorce, career transition, chronic illness, menopause, financial upheaval, or even the loss of identity or a beloved pet. Many of these experiences, known as “disenfranchised grief”, are overlooked or invalidated, leaving women to navigate them alone.

 

Renewed Horizons offers an antidote. A women-only retreat that honours grief in all its forms and provides healing tools within nature’s embrace. Set among olive, fig, walnut, and pomegranate trees with sweeping views of the Fethiye Gulf and mountain ridges, the retreat combines gentle yoga, breathwork, meditation, and healing circles in a soulful, supportive community.

 

Over seven nights of luxury countryside accommodation, attendees will:


  • Participate in daily yoga, breathwork, and meditation sessions.

  • Join guided healing circles and rituals designed for release and renewal.

  • Enjoy home-grown vegetarian Turkish meals, afternoon tea, sauna access, a boat trip on the Aegean Sea, and a local shopping excursion.

  • Balance intentional healing work with restorative solitude.

  • Access optional one-to-one tarot readings/spiritual guidance sessions with Lisa Andrews, a UK-based spiritual mentor and guide.

  • Experience optional healing with Reiki Master Angie, including Reiki, chakra balancing, and crystal healing.

  • Explore additional optional gentle yoga sessions for restorative movement.

 

Words from the facilitators


“As a UK-based spiritual mentor and guide, my role is to hold a compassionate, intuitive space where women can feel truly seen, heard, and safe in their grief,” said Lisa Andrews. “Grief isn’t only about bereavement, it can be the loss of health, a marriage, a career, or even your own sense of self. By acknowledging these experiences openly, we can help guide women gently from pain toward peace.”

 

“Grief is often silent, messy, and deeply personal,” added Nikki Hillhouse, retreat host. “At Renewed Horizons, we create a sanctuary where women’s grief, in all its forms, can be felt, expressed, and transformed through connection and care.”
