Summer Alchemical Retreat 2026 | Poulstone Court, Hereford
Summer Alchemical Retreat
A Silent Guided Retreat
with Nigel Hamilton & Noor-un-Nisa Jacobs
30 Jul – 4 August 2026
Poulstone Court, Herefordshire
For Alchemists, the traditional Pilgrimage involves going within oneself on retreat. It is an opportunity to bring about a profound inner transformation, to experience the true meaning of resurrection. It can change our lives. This retreat provides an opportunity to share in a wonderful attunement, as well as to explore and discover the keys to your own unfoldment. At the end of the retreat the guide will work individually with each retreatant in giving practices and helping them to create an atmosphere in which profound change can occur.
The Alchemical Retreat process was developed by Pir Vilayat Khan as a most effective way of creating a genuine spiritual transformation. Spiritual practices from several mystical schools, including those of the Sufis, will be given. On this retreat we will share in the ecstatic vision of the Mystics in a “Journey to the home of your soul”. The group will be guided by Nigel Huzur Hamilton and Noor-un-Nisa Jacobs, both trained Retreat Guides in the Inayatiyya Sufi Path for Spiritual Liberation, professional psychotherapists, and leaders of The Inayatiyya UK.
Please note, the individual retreat places are open to those who have experienced the group retreats before (subject to availability, please email info@inayatiyya.org.uk to enquire).
