This weekend is about letting go of all that stuff we carry; other people’s expectations, the expectations we have of ourselves, responsibilities, judgements…. and coming back to who we are without all of that. It is a real deep dive into building more self-compassion.

Fundamental to this is connecting with how it feels to be in your body, and becoming aware of the relationship between body and mind, and the relationship between ourselves, nature and healing.

This weekend is a specialised retreat on building a more positive relationship with yourself. Life can be tough. We get pulled in all sorts of directions. Our minds have been overwhelmed with all sorts of pressures. It is now time to clear it all out, to release some of that pressure and come back to you. To give yourself some compassion, kindness and love; in mind, body and soul.

Nathalie is a trained self-compassion therapist and has designed the retreat, utilising all the tools, tips and techniques this practice offers. The yoga, the food, the sound healing and nature….it is all with the purpose of leaving you feeling a deep sense of connection with yourself.

Arrive 4pm Friday. Leave 1pm Sunday.
