About this Event
Back to You: The Retreat is a nourishing experience designed to help you reconnect with yourself, realign, and reset your energy.
It's dedicated time and space to tune in, and tend to what you need most right now.
You’ll be guided through a series of practices that bring you into the present moment, and into your body more than your mind.
These practices will also:
- allow more energy to move more freely through you
- regulate and support your nervous system
- give space to parts of yourself that usually get neglected, overridden, or burned out
- release stress and tension from the body through the body
- offer relief from physical or emotional overload or pain
- feel more balanced and clear.
Whether you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, constantly “on,” emotionally drained, physically tense or depleted, navigating health challenges, disconnected from yourself or your body, or simply in need of space away from the demands of daily life.
You are invited to come exactly as you are, and leave feeling more ease and even more like yourself.
This retreat includes thoughtful touches that are often especially appreciated by those living with health challenges, chronic pain, sensitivities, anxiety, burnout, or neuro-divergence.
Throughout the afternoon you’ll be guided through:
- nourishing self-connection practices
- body & mind meditations
- tai chi and qigong inspired movement meditation
- stress and tension release
- breathwork
- visualisation exercises
- a short nature-based practice outdoors in the natural surroundings of Lesnes Abbey
- reflection, journaling & integration
- resourcing and sensory awareness
- co-regulating connection practices
All woven with with space for joy, inspiration, softness & ease.
You will be also be supported by carefully chosen music to guide your experience, and a calm, sensory-friendly environment surrounded by nature.
You don’t need to be experienced to come.
You just need to be willing to show up and meet yourself where you are.
Why people are drawn to spaces like this
Because life can become loud, fast, mentally consuming, physically draining, and loaded with responsibilities and pressure. Many of us spend most of the time simply reacting to stress, challenges, overthinking, expectations, responsibilities, and the demands of everyday life.
Because we rarely give ourselves enough time and space to truly connect with ourselves (including the parts of ourselves that get neglected or hidden), our bodies, and our needs.
Because many of us carry stress, tension, emotion, exhaustion and burnout in the body and mind without fully realising how much we’ve been holding, and the ways we can support our nervous systems.
Because somatic practices, meditations, mindfulness, breathwork, reflection, stillness, movement, and supportive connection can help us feel more present, connected, grounded, clear, alive, and resourced.
Because there’s something powerful about stepping away from the chaos, and away from our habits and routines to spend a few hours simply being human, alongside others craving the same thing.
