A heartfelt thank you to our retreat participants. What a unique group of wonderful people from all over the world.
Here is what they have to say:
- Thank you so much for putting together such a special retreat. It was so good to see you both and spend some time together. It was a much needed reset for myself and looking forward to pushing forward on my path and selling more healing. My heart is full of memories with you all. Thank you for making it special. — Jill
- I am so grateful to you for organising the event over the weekend at Broughton. What a special place! This was a very different experience for me. I didn’t feel out of place, but I do see that I have a lot of new things to learn about being a spiritual thinker in a way different than i am used to. The experience has enriched me enormously and piqued my curiosity. — Kim
- Greetings from Mexico. I wanted to thank you all for welcoming so warmly during the retreat. Thank you Anne and Elisabeth for bringing us to Broughton Sanctuary. — Sarah
- This Retreat was so precious to me, and I’m so very grateful for the connections. — Leona
- It was so lovely to connect with the beauty in all of us. May the divine keep us connected always. — Shruti
- Still so inspired by all of you. And missing all of you of course. — Lilli
Everything that matters in life originates from the heart. Relationships, the capacity to love, passion, resilience, and creativity come from that place. Only by nurturing an open heart can we flow with the vast beauty of life and unlock our potential.
The HEALING SUMMIT 2024 Retreat is open to all and provides three full days of healing heart practices:
- An exploration of various healing modalities led by world-class practitioners
- Inspiring “fireside chats” with the pioneers of a holistic lifestyle
- A deep exploration on how we do more together. How do we truly bring the concept of healing to our day to day lives and work
Participants are expected to find The Heart Retreat life-affirming, restorative and transformative, filled with opportunities for personal growth.
We are looking forward to welcome you from our hearts,
Anne and Elisabeth

Frequently Asked Questions
Founded in 2014, the HEALING SUMMIT, an initiative from Healing Hotels of the World, is showcasing all aspects of a holistic approach to life and business, with the aim to strengthen and support the global community dedicated to create change for the better.
We have created a new format for the HEALING SUMMIT 2024: Titled The Heart Retreat, we dove deep into our own wellbeing and discussed how we can stay true to the values of a holistic lifestyle. For three days (4 nights) we experienced a variety of healing modalities from world class practitioners, had space and time for connection, and participated in talks and conversations with thought leaders to inspire a new world that is sustainable in every aspect: personally, environmentally, socially, and economically.
Speakers and teachers from the fields of economy and ecology, holistic therapies, healing modalities, and healing hospitality joined together with the retreat guests to create a gathering of global influencers committed to doing good.
