3 Day Level 1 Personal Usui Reiki and Teate Certification with Meditation Practices in Qala, Malta

Facilities

Energy is a word that very few people can explain in all its complexities. You could read a book on it or be told all about it but it is the actual experience itself that teaches you.

Much of the course is spent working from this viewpoint, teaching you to work intuitively and to bring that instinctual balance into your everyday life. The methods used to teach this are based on both the experiential knowledge which you gain throughout the course as well as your own comprehension of technical ability.

Teate was the system of healing before Reiki. It addresses and activates the missing aspects and practices in Reiki. Regain these aspects in and around you through Teate, which up to now has been lost in modern Reiki practice and training today.

Level 1 emerges you into the art of energy healing. It allows you to meet your(self) and bring you closer than you have ever known. You will learn and cultivate your own self-healing practice as well as begin to understand yourselves in a way we have forgotten. The key to understanding the world within you has always been in your hands but it is not until Level 1 that will re-discover that you had it all along.

This retreat is suitable for any level and any age. Beginner and experienced all welcome and encouraged. ​

This is a personal one-to-one retreat that is conducted in flow, which means, adjusts to the natural rhythms of life and how we feel in the moment.

Each retreat is tailored to what you need at a specific time through diet, practices, guided meditations, healing therapies, guidance, and free time. The schedule is flexible to be most suitable for your needs and reflected by the season.

Welcome to the healing home of Andrea Ridgway. Located in the middle of the Mediterranean sea on the island of Gozo in the village of Qala. Gozo, which means 'joy', is a little spit of land sitting in the Mediterranean Sea with a unique rocky coastal landscape, waters so crystal-clear and the sky so bright blue that you’ll have to rub your eyes to believe what you are seeing.

Gozo is the second-largest island of the Maltese Archipelago and is an ideal destination for those who treasure a slow, relaxed rhythm of life and cherish unspoilt countryside and being close to the sea. The beauty of surrounding nature all around creates an ambiance of complete peace.

Andrea welcomes you to her home, a Gozitan farmhouse built of the local Maltese limestone, which has been renovated and kept in old-modern style, offering comfort, charm, and relaxation. Set on 3 floors with 3 en-suite bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen and living room overlooking the private pool and nature views of Gozo and sea views of the Blue Lagoon, Comino, and Malta. There is also a cave room, where you can book your therapy and/or treatment session.

Andrea lives in the top part of her home. The home and lifestyle are based on relaxation, peace, and harmony. While there is Wifi, you will find a better signal without it as our home is connected with nature, animals, sunrise, and walking trails. We share our space with our three, sometimes five, cats: Azué, Molly, Louisa, Oscar, and Blackie. We buy fresh goat cheese, goat milk, and free-range eggs from our neighbour, who is a shepherd and can be seen daily walking her sheep and goats by the house.

Our living is simple, modest, and nurturing. You will be well looked after and nurtured as all your basic needs are provided for. Our space does not have a television but it does have a large table for us all to share and support one another. Our triangular common area kitchen, dining room, and living room are the heart of the home. Located just below is the healing cave where healing therapies and sessions take place.
