Retreats with George
“Deep gratitude to you George, and to all who attended. You have given me the most therapeutic few days. It was well overdue.”
Retreats that Generate Vitality.
Establish Your Stability. Enliven Your Health.
We live in a state of constant demand. Overworked, overstressed and disconnected from the rhythms that keep us well. Many of us carry a quiet, persistent feeling that we are not living life better. We have responsibilities, we have discomfort and feel trapped. We know we need to change, but knowledge alone is not enough.
This is why I created these retreats.
In my years of clinical practice, I’ve found that giving good advice is easy. But creating real, lasting change in someone’s life is hard. Only a fraction of people make the changes to their lifestyle that bring the most rewards amidst the chaos of their daily lives.
These retreats provide the solution.
They are a living laboratory for your more vibrant health and happiness. A dedicated time and space where the techniques I have collated from years of dedicated study under various masters become your daily practice. Here, we don't just talk about how to optimise your body’s self regulation; we reinforce it powerfully day by day.
The framework we use is The Path of Balance & Harmony - a system of powerful, ancient practices that nourish every part of you; building great physical, emotional and mental stability. We focus on building what I call 'positive health karma': small vitality-nourishing actions regularly that create profound shifts in your body and mind. This isn't about a temporary escape; it's about building your sense of your own physical and mental stability and the confidence of how to manage your own health well moving forward, in a robust, time-tested way.
Whether you join me for a profound weekend reset or a life-altering international journey, the principle is the same: to give you the inspiration, the knowledge and unwavering support to take control of your homeostasis - the bodymind’s ability to self regulate. The change you’ve been seeking.
At all events we will dine on delicious healthy food, personalised health diagnosis and acupuncture treatment, focus on breathwork, mediation, qigong (classical remedial exercises to regulate the human organism), mindset, nature and the community network - a collection of people doing good things in a good way.
There are different price ranges: the Silver, Gold & Diamond Clubs, to suit every budget in the aim of helping as many people as possible.
“I absolutely loved every second of this amazing trip (apart from scary mountain bit!) but with the expertise of George and a couple of others I soon calmed down! The thought and effort put into this trip was wonderful, and such great people too. Everyone touched my heart in such wonderful ways. Let’s do it all again.”
Vitality Retreat January 2026
The Vitality Retreat:
For Those Ready For Their Next Chapter
You’ve built a successful life.
Work and business, family, responsibilities - you’ve met every challenge. Yet, in quiet moments, you feel it: a longing for the physical freedom and vibrant energy you had in your twenties. You look after yourself ok, but you know you could be looking after yourself better so you can enjoy life more as age progresses. Aches and pains, concerns and stresses. Commitments. Not prioritising yourself well enough. And a quiet fear nags at you - what will the coming years bring if you continue on this path?
This retreat is your intervention. It is a decisive act to take back control.
For those who know my work, you know I am more than an acupuncturist. This retreat is where we take the insights from my clinical work, martial and internal arts training - incorporated into a system I call the Path of Balance and Harmony - and use them to establish real-world resilience and to generate vitality for ourselves day by day. The power to self regulate.
It is for those who are ready to go deeper, who want more and are prepared to invest in a future where they don’t just age, but age well and evolve. I’m convinced I’m reaching my peak at 75. This is the spirit to imbibe on this trip.
We will spend a week at a cosy and yet-to-be-confirmed retreat centre in the UK mountains. Cosy inside, yes, but we don’t hide from the cold and challenge of January; we meet it head-on. With an emphasis on balance between Resting Well and Moving Well, we will climb a mountain, we will hike. We will use these physical challenges to learn how to replace tension with trust, faith and belief. With action. You will discover, in real-time, how the ancient practices I teach become your source of strength when you need it most.
This is your opportunity to move beyond fragmented wellness - the apps, the restrictive diets, the wearable tech - and embrace a comprehensive system honed to you as a whole individual. You will leave with a tangible roadmap for your health, a newfound faith in your body's capabilities, and an invaluable network of peers who, like you, are committed to making their next chapter their best one yet.
“I really get it now! It’s a brilliant way of living, investing in your health day by day in a community environment and getting stuck into nature. I feel really supported to live more in harmony with everything around us. Great work George! We’ll be back.”

George is a regular mountain climber and nature enthusiast.
“I find nothing more liberating and invigorating than embracing wild nature at all times of year, in all climates and conditions. Giving the body and mind the regular support they thrive on, whilst venturing into the wild for adventure from time to time to challenge the body and mind, is what I’ve found most exhilorating.
I’ll show you how I’ve found vitality to be generated at all ages, in all stages of health. How to naturally support and improve homeostasis - the body and mind’s ability to self regulate, to maintain vitality.”
