I've recently returned from my 2nd summer retreat with HOST. It's hard to describe how powerful this work truly is but here goes... after last year's retreat I completed the HOST Embodiment program - having the opportunity to be part of a community exploring their inner worlds of emotion has been incredible. What is key is the safety and support that the coaches and community provide that allows you to go to whatever level is right for you in a caring and held environment. I have gone to depths impossible to reach alone. I was safe and guided at my own pace. I have released unprocessed emotions and unresolved trauma that I have held inside for years. Talking therapy and cognitive work provides short term relief but I have learnt that for true healing you have to work with the body. I learnt that with HOST. A year on from my first retreat and returning I realised how much progress I had made. I felt different. Calmer, more at peace, open. Whilst I had some incredible breakthroughs and releases in the time between I was surprised to find there was more to process! So blessed that my body felt safe enough to do so because of the people, environment and practices during the retreat. I cannot recommend HOST highly enough. Life changing sounds far fetched but its true. It takes courage to work with the shadow but the light is so beautiful. In my experience HOST will guide you and keep you safe as you do so. Looking forward to the next retreat already

HOST Retreats are next level. You need to experience this weekend if you’re ready to step into the next level in your life then this is for you! Xxx

Thank you HOST for another fantastic retreat . A safe place where I could truly connect with my inner world and address any Shadows held in my psyche.
Place, food, a beautiful place and environment. You did not disappoint.

Words fail to justify what I got out of my experience with HOST and their retreat to be honest. I told my friends and family I was going to a feild to scream and cry, but it was so much more than that. What I found was a community, a family of people who have all come from different backgrounds and experiences yet we were walking the same path. This meant that inbetween the HOST sessions, mini sessions were had where we shared wisdom and advice.
And as for the HOST sessions themselves, what can I say, I not only found myself, my true self, my inner child, I found my connections to something greater and I've never felt more free from the shackles of every day life and my pain. I found an inner peace that I never thought my busy mind could conquer. All my life I've looked outward for my answers, with HOST Ive discovered those answers were within me all along.
I feel truly blessed to have found HOST and in turn finding myself. Thankyou David and Lauren for holding such a beautiful space in their home, in nature to truly connect and be ourselves without judgement and full support. Im forever grateful. And if this is just the start, oh boy am I excited for what is ahead.

I have experienced 3 HOST retreats now and every time I am blown away. I always come away feeling more connected, grounded, and fulfilled. I have learned so much on my journey with HOST. All the facilitators are amazing and I feel so safe to express myself. The best community and an amazing experience, every time!

So grateful to have taken part in another HOST retreat. Always in awe of this community.
Thanks as always to Lauren and David.

I just returned from HOST retreat and wow what an INCREDIBLE experience! If anyone is even considering attending one of their retreats my advice would be to absolutely GO FOR IT! It’s life changing. For me I learned that allowing myself to be seen in my struggles is safe and not only that but it actually feels amazing! The human connection, the break from real life, the nature, the depth of my conversations, the chances to explore my body - all of it was just one of the best things I have ever done ! I’m leaving there feeling refreshed and like my batteries have been charged but also with a real sense of family, community, connection and confidence in my own light. Thank you Lauren and David! This work is so powerful!

You can feel that everything what they doing is from the heart.
They helped me to find my way how to listen to my body and not just to my mind which can sometimes really hard but with the help of HOST I made it.
Thank you million times I can’t say it enough.
Namaste 🙏

Been part of this comminity changed my life in ways i cant describe what a journey forever greatful for the input

I mean how do I even begin to describe what HOST & David have done for my life.

I was aware of how powerful this work is but never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to unlock parts of me I didn’t even know existed.

In the space of 4 weeks I have totally transformed my entire out look on life past and present and for the first time ever I can finally say I understand myself, my path and my purpose.

If you’re unsure on whether to do this, please please do. I put this off for over a year because I thought I wasn’t ready. Turns out I was already ready I just didn’t want to face it.

Now the only wish I have is that I did it sooner.

Truly life changing

I joined the 7-week shadow work programme with HOST in early 2026, and it was a profound experience that led to unique insights and personal change.

The programme itself is incredibly well structured, guiding you through the Seven Laws of Self-Transformation and the chakra system in a way that is both deep and accessible. Each week builds meaningfully on the last, combining teachings, Reiki, and real emotional work. This is not surface-level self-help, this is honest, deep, and impactful work, held in a safe and supportive environment.

The community HOST has created is something special. In the group sessions, people shared openly without fear of judgement, shame, or rejection. That level of trust and acceptance is core to the transformation process and creates the conditions for genuine self-acceptance.

My one-to-one coaching with Cristina was exceptional. From the very first session, I felt a deep sense of trust. She is warm, grounded, genuinely caring, and incredibly insightful. She has a remarkable ability to get to the root of what you’re saying (and sometimes what you’re not saying), and gently guide you towards understanding and breakthrough.

Some shadows need a nudge, and Cristina has a natural way of guiding you through each block with care. It’s no wonder I found myself looking forward to every session.

Through working with the HOST structured approach, and with Cristina’s guidance, I was able to recognise and work through many long-held patterns from my past, making peace with my family. And as a bonus, a deep sense of loneliness I had carried for over 50 years finally lifted.

I’m incredibly grateful for the experience, the insights, and the support I received throughout the journey. If you’re considering HOST or working with Cristina, I would wholly recommend it.

I completed 7 week coaching programme with David and then attended the retreat in Hereford. The entire experience has been transformational. 'HOST is a true place of healing and self improvement. My work with David opened up a lot of things I needed to address and inspired and guided me to change my perspective. The retreat was amazing. The classes, food, atmosphere and the people involved made it a hard to describe experience. Something that definitely has to be embodied and experienced. I would genuinely recommend for anyone wanting to get to know one self. 10/10

My time at the HOST healing retreat was nothing short of transformative. HOST didn’t just guide us, they held space in a way that allowed each of us to go deep, peeling back layers we often keep hidden even from ourselves. I've come away feeling full of love, gratitude and compassion on such a deep and profound level. The experience was amazing. I can highly recommend.

An absolutely incredible weekend retreat with HOST. What an amazing community and special way to spend a weekend. Although some of the work is confronting, you are held safely and supported throughout. The accommodation & food were also amazing and super high quality. Id highly recommend 🤍

Where do I start ! When I signed up to coaches I was going trough one of the worst break ups I was struggling with anxiety toxic patterns my self love , worth and respect was rock on the bottom due to my childhood trauma and other traumatic experiences from my adulthood I've always been spiritual and intuitive I was drawn to this platform and wasn't too sure why I signed up and I can honestly say these guys have changed the women I am amount of release tears I shared on this journey can't be described with words everyone around me noticed the change and my old identity that was shaped by my trauma is just gone now I learned to love and accept myself even though I have a long journey to complete my boundaries are strong and I can't settle for the things once I settled for even if I wanted to all thanks to this platform it's a life changing experience that's all I can say! Thanks guys

The most radically deep and authentic shadow work and self development I have ever come across.

These people are really in their heart and really caring. Really committed to bring people to the next level, not just giving them a quick fix. Really loving and safe to be around.

Recommend if you want to live heaven in this lifetime

I just love everything about Host. The loveliest group of people that you will come across. Always such warmth and great support from each and everyone of the coaches.

After 7 weeks of 1:1 of shadow work with Samantha Tune through Home Of Self Transformation.
I can genuinely say this experience has helped me uncover and release layers of stuck emotions, fears and guilt I didn’t realise I had been carrying.
Samantha held a safe place that allowed me to open up , which in the past I have struggled with this .
Face my shadows and begin to heal wounds.
The process helped my reconnect with myself and feel more grounded and open hearted .
I am truly greatfull to Samantha David And Lauren for this safe space for healing and self discovery

I started my journey with Dave and Lauren at host about a year and a half ago.

As soon as I had my first session I felt as though a lot of the weight I was carrying came off my shoulders.

The people at Host are so friendly and non judgmental, they have an incredible skill and ability to help you navigate your feelings and emotions which ultimately helping you to reflect and learn about yourself.

I couldn’t recommend anyone better.

Completing the transformation programme with host has been life changing. When I started the programme I had read lots of books on self development and I believed I was quite self aware, however with support from host I was able to uncover a whole new level of healing.

The group sessions and my one to one sessions with Amanda helped me to uncover subconscious hidden wounds that were ready to heal. During one to one sessions Amanda guided me through the process which enabled me to understand my childhood traumas that had led to unwanted patterns in relationship as an adult. Amanda guided and supported me to change these patterns, which has helped me grow in ways I never could have done alone. Amanda was so knowledgeable and supportive throughout the journey. Amanda held a safe space in the one to one sessions, which allowed me to feel comfortable and confident to open up.

Overall the experience has been life changing and I would recommend host and Amanda as a coach for anyone who wants to heal subconscious wounds and take their healing to the next level.
