FAQs

1. What should I expect during a hypnotherapy session if I've never experienced hypnosis before?

Your private hypnotherapy session will be a gentle, guided relaxation experience where you remain aware while accessing a deeper state of focused attention. You'll be comfortably in control throughout. The hypnotherapist will help you access your unconscious mind to explore potential past life experiences.

Most first-timers describe the experience as similar to being absorbed in a daydream or a guided meditation—relaxed yet mentally engaged. The session typically begins with relaxation techniques, followed by therapeutic explorations tailored to your needs, and concludes with a gentle return to full alertness.

Often, participants are surprised by how natural the process feels and report leaving their session feeling refreshed, insightful, with a sense of joyful calm clarity.

2. What kinds of lasting changes or skills might I develop during this retreat that could benefit my life afterwards?

Participants typically develop several valuable skills that continue working for them long after the retreat ends:

• Enhanced emotional intelligence that helps you recognise genuine connection opportunities

• Greater intuitive awareness of personal patterns across relationships

• Improved self-reflection capabilities through journaling practices

• Deeper understanding of synchronicities and meaningful coincidences

• Ability to recognise and honour significant connections in your life

• Techniques for accessing inner wisdom through meditation and dream work

• A framework for understanding recurring themes and emotional patterns in your life experiences

3. How does the application process work?

Application to The Reunion is via a questionnaire that must be completed. Your responses help both you and us confirm if this particular gathering is indeed your Reunion. The questionnaire serves as your RSVP to our invitation and the beginning of your Reunion journey.

If we cannot accommodate you for your preferred retreat dates, you may be perfect for a future Reunion. Should this not appear to be your Reunion, we may suggest future gatherings that might resonate more deeply with your path.

4. What preparation is required before attending?

After booking, each participant will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for the retreat. Some journaling will be required as part of this preparation. These preliminary activities are an essential component of The Reunion experience, helping to prime your awareness and create the conditions for meaningful connections during the retreat.

The preparation is designed to be straightforward and accessible regardless of your background or beliefs.

5. Should I bring any special items to the retreat?

Yes, as part of your preparation for The Reunion, you'll be asked to bring:

• Three gifts for fellow participants (details will be provided in your personalised instructions)

• A significant personal object that holds meaning for you

These items play an important role in the recognition ceremonies and connection experiences. Specific guidance about selecting these items will be included in the detailed preparation instructions you'll receive after booking.

6. What should I pack?

Evening Event Attire (in order of the parties):

• The Promise Gala (Day 1) - Attire representing who you believe you were when you made a promise to meet again. Historical costumes reflecting a past era.

• The Soul's Journey Ball (Day 2) - Costume representing a different significant past life experience or persona

• The Yet-To-Be Party (Day 3) - Creative attire representing who or what you aspire to become in a future incarnation.

Your costume can be as simple or elaborate as you feel comfortable with—from a subtle accessory that represents your chosen character to a full historical ensemble. The focus is on meaningful expression rather than elaborate costumes.

A bottle of champagne will be awarded for the most compelling, imaginative, and visionary costume each evening.

Ceremonial Items:

• A notebook and pen for capturing insights and reflections

• Three gifts for fellow participants (details will be in your personalised instructions)

• A significant personal object that holds meaning for you

Practical Essentials:

• Weather-appropriate clothing

• Comfortable walking shoes for forest trails and outdoor activities

• Swimwear for spa facilities

• A small backpack for day excursions

• Any personal medications and toiletries

• Plug adaptors (if necessary)

• A small torch/flashlight for evening walks

• Comfortable clothes for meditation and yoga

7. How should I approach the themed parties? What if I feel uncomfortable with costumes or specific themes?

Our themed parties are designed to be enjoyable catalysts for connection and creative expression, and you're welcome to interpret each theme and create your costume as elaborately or as simply as you wish.

For those who prefer minimalism, significant symbolic elements work perfectly well. For example, for The Promise Gala, a significant vintage accessory or piece of jewellery can represent a historical connection without requiring a full costume.

Where possible, we can recommend local costume rental options for those who feel inspired to embrace a more elaborate/creative approach.

If you're uncomfortable with any theme, our retreat staff can suggest elegant alternatives that honour your comfort level while still allowing full participation. The focus is on the meaningful connections these events create, not the perfection of your costume. Many participants find that stepping slightly outside their comfort zone in this supportive environment leads to unexpected insights and connections.

8. Are Past Life Regression sessions included in the retreat price?

No, Private Past Life Regression (PLR) sessions are offered as an optional extra and must be booked and paid for separately in advance. Each session costs €300 (exclusive discount for Reunion participants and companions) and lasts approximately 2 hours.

Sessions are available at the following times:

• During the retreat: 4 sessions available (high demand - book early)

• Pre-retreat: 4 sessions available on the day before the gathering begins

• Post-retreat: 8 sessions available across the two days following the conclusion

Sessions are typically remembered in vivid detail, unlike stage hypnosis. The option to audio record your session ensures you can revisit the experience afterwards.

To book a session, please contact us directly with "PLR Session Request" in the subject line, indicating your preferred date and time (morning or afternoon). Bookings are handled on a first-come, first-served basis, and we recommend securing your session when confirming your Reunion participation to avoid disappointment.

9. Can I arrive early, or stay longer at the retreat venue?

Yes, we offer the option to arrive early or extend your stay at the retreat venue, which is particularly convenient if you're booking a pre-retreat or post-retreat PLR session. As a Reunion participant, you'll receive a special discounted rate on accommodation for additional nights, subject to availability.

Our venues are carefully selected boutique retreats or hotels chosen for their intimate atmosphere, which means space is limited. To secure early arrival or extended stay accommodation, please contact us as soon as possible with "Early Arrival/Late Stay Request" in the subject line of your email.

These arrangements are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that our venues are usually small to maintain intimacy—therefore booking at the earliest opportunity avoids disappointment.

10. What is Past Life Regression and how might it benefit me?

Past Life Regression (PLR) is a gentle guided meditative technique where our specialist hypnotherapist helps you enter a relaxed, hypnotic state to access memories or impressions that could be from previous lifetimes. During this experience, you explore potential past identities, relationships, or experiences that could explain current life patterns, skills, or unexplained feelings of connection to certain people, places, or activities.

Potential benefits include:

• Relief from unexplained physical discomfort or persistent conditions

• Healing of emotional challenges including fears, anxieties and recurring patterns

• Understanding of deep connections with certain people

• Clarity on life purpose and meaningful direction

• Resolution of troubled relationships or insights to transform them

Many clients report remarkable clarity, healing and transformation—regardless of their beliefs about reincarnation.

15. How flexible is the retreat schedule? Should I expect any changes to the advertised programme?

While we carefully design each retreat programme and strive to deliver the experience as advertised, the art of creating transformative retreats sometimes involves thoughtful adaptation.

Our published schedules represent our committed intention, but we occasionally make refinements based on:

• The unique energy and dynamics of each participant group

• Seasonal factors at our venues that may enhance certain activities

• Opportunities to incorporate exceptional local experiences that become available

• Feedback and emerging needs of participants during the retreat

Any adjustments we make are guided by a single principle: to elevate your retreat experience. Significant changes—those affecting the fundamental nature or key elements of your retreat—will be communicated to you promptly, with clear explanations.

For complete details about our approach to programme modifications.

16. Do I need any prior experience with meditation, hypnosis, or spiritual practices to participate?

No prior experience is necessary. The Reunion is designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of background or belief system. Our practices are presented in straightforward, contemporary language without requiring familiarity with Buddhist concepts or other spiritual frameworks.

All activities are facilitated with clear, simple instructions, and our approach honours both skeptical and open-minded perspectives. The only requirements are curiosity and a willingness to explore possibilities with an open heart.

17. What if I don't believe in past lives?

Many people approach The Reunion with healthy skepticism and still experience profound benefits. The practices and experiences we offer are beneficial regardless of your beliefs about reincarnation.

Our approach honours the possibility that what emerges during regression or recognition exercises might be interpreted as metaphorical expressions of your unconscious, symbolic representations of inherited ancestral memory, or as actual memories of past incarnations. The therapeutic value and potential for meaningful connections remain profound regardless of your interpretation.

The Reunion embraces both scientific skepticism and open exploration of life's mysteries.

18. What is the Game of Archetypes mentioned in the evening events?

The Game of Archetypes is a series of visualisation games that work with the unconscious to reveal aspects of participants' personalities—both present and past. These intriguing exercises use guided questions, scenarios, and imagery to prompt introspection, offering insights about your personality, emotional patterns, relationships, and thoughts across time.

Played during The Promise Gala and The Soul's Journey Ball, these games create a playful yet meaningful way to explore connections between participants and discover recurring patterns in your life experiences.

19. What are the recognition ceremonies and rituals based on?

Most of the rituals and ceremonies at The Reunion are rooted in and adapted from Tibetan Buddhist ancient practices used for recognising reincarnated lamas (spiritual leaders). These time-honoured methods include preparation through questions, meditation, object recognition, and intentional dreaming—adapted into a contemporary exploration suitable for recognising connections between people across lifetimes.
