Love, Light, & Laughter
24-31 JULY | Frome, UK

What This Is

A miracle is a shift in perception — from fear to love.

Love, Light & Laughter is a 7-night retreat held by Lizzie Allan and Indra Jones, created for people at a threshold — in transition, awakening, or quiet burnout — who are ready to land more fully in themselves and reconnect with others in a real, grounded way.

Lizzie and Indra work together with ease, depth, and playfulness, creating a beautifully protected container where safety, trust, and genuine human connection come first. Within this space, love, joy, laughter, and deep healing are all welcome — allowing people to relax, open, and be fully themselves.

This is not a self-improvement experience or a traditional retreat. It is a carefully curated, trauma-informed process designed to support deep and lasting transformation. Through nervous-system-aware practices, relational healing, time in nature, and moments of humour and warmth, participants are guided on a journey that fosters regulation, expression, belonging, and a renewed sense of inner steadiness.

Love, Light & Laughter is an invitation to step out of old patterns and into something more spacious, connected, and alive.

Indra jones

Indra Jones is a shamanic energy medicine practitioner and trauma-informed intuitive therapist working with EFT and Matrix Reimprinting to gently untangle deeply rooted patterns and open space for new possibilities.

Her work supports the rewiring of familiar fear-based responses, helping the nervous system recognise that safety, choice, and ease are available in the present. Clients and groups are offered practical, embodied tools that can be taken into everyday life, supporting a shift toward greater vitality, self-trust, and inner steadiness.

Indra’s sessions move fluidly between conversation, guided imagery, body-based awareness, and subtle energy work, always at a pace that feels safe and collaborative. Her approach is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about remembering what is true beneath layers of protection and adaptation.

At the heart of her work is a deep understanding that we are shaped by belonging, love, and connection—and that many of the beliefs that limit us were never truly ours to begin with. By compassionately exploring feelings of not being enough, of separation, or of being different or unwelcome, clients are supported to honour what they have carried, soften what no longer serves, and reconnect with a more loving and peaceful sense of self.

Indra facilitates online group work and in-person retreats within a clear, heart-centred, and safe container. Even when meeting the deepest wounds, humour and curiosity are welcome, allowing healing to emerge with both lightness, radiance and care.

Lizzie Allan

A therapist, facilitator, and recovery advocate, Lizzie Allan has spent more than a decade supporting people through deep personal change using a trauma-informed, relational approach. Her work is grounded in extensive training, lived experience, and a strong commitment to creating spaces that are safe, honest, and human.

Lizzie’s practice is shaped by her own journey through mental health challenges and recovery, including a formative period of crisis in her early twenties that clarified her calling to help others heal with integrity, courage, and compassion. She is the creator of Hilarapy, an approach that integrates humour where appropriate — not as performance or technique, but as a natural expression of presence and connection.

Known for her ability to hold depth with warmth and steadiness, Lizzie creates environments where people feel supported to slow down, tell the truth, and reconnect with themselves and others. Her work invites authenticity, reduces shame, and supports lasting transformation — allowing lightness to emerge naturally within a grounded and carefully held process.
