Why I created this retreat -
In the mundane monotony of everyday life, we hope for lasting change but only get so far.
Stuck in the grind, we question the hamster wheel but can’t seem to jump off.
Caught between craving finally being the one who is supported, but grappling with the guilt of taking time for yourself, we wait until we’re at breaking point & then it’s too late…
I know it feels scary to invest in yourself - especially when you’ve been giving, giving, giving. Especially when you kind of forget who you are if you’re not tending to everyone else.
I would know - this is the weekend I never allowed myself to have.
An artful balance of learning the skill body-based stress release & remembering to rest for no reason at all, you’ll learn to dissolve stress & tension from your body without needing to rely on long or complicated practices.
My offerings have been described as “many sessions of therapy without having to tell my story or talk about my past.”
In two nights & three days, we have time for rest, play & deep work, all of which combine to form your deepest change yet.
