Inner Well Retreat
Dear Self,
This year has been a lot, and I’m tired of always being the last thing on my to-do list. I wonder what it would feel like if I gave myself more time and space to do the things I know I need. I wonder what it would feel like if I allowed myself to soften into presence and feel my feelings wholeheartedly.
I want to remember what wholeness feels like. I want to reconnect with the parts of myself that I have been avoiding. And more than ever, I want to learn how to have a deeper, more meaningful relationship with myself and others.
It’s time to tend to my inner well; to give myself the care and attention I deserve, and only I can give.
Welcome
Inner Well is an intimate day retreat that harnesses the somatic approach to help you reconnect with the parts of you that have been overlooked or forgotten.
Held in a supportive, embodied container limited to 8 pax only, we invite you to move through your inner world with curiosity and care. The day includes various practices, such as somatic movement, yoga nidra, and sound bath meditation. There will also be two workshop intensives that are designed to explore the mind-body complex and help build healthier patterns of communication and nurture a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

About the Workshops
WORKSHOP:
EXPLORING THE WORLD OF EMOTIONS & TAPPING INTO THE MIND-BODY COMPLEX
What are emotions? Why do they matter now more than ever? And how can we make them work for us, rather than against us?
Come explore with us as we delve into the fascinating world of emotions and discover how deeply the mind and body are connected in this fun (well, not always!) workshop, all about understanding ourselves a little better!
-
Anybody and everybody who might believe that emotions are not meant to be managed but understood.
-
A workshop that’s equal parts insight and heart. You can expect to engage in thought-provoking discussions and gain new perspectives (perhaps even uncover emotions that you may not have anticipated!)
-
Your favourite notebook and trusty pen, if you wish!
WORKSHOP:
THE PRACTICE OF SELF-LOVE & COMPASSIONATE CONNECTION
What would it feel like if we met our inner world with kindness rather than criticism?
In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore the dance between our nervous system and our words through the lens of Polyvagal Theory and Non-Violent Communication (NVC). Through grounding, mindful reflection, and simple practices, you’ll learn to recognise your states, learn to speak and listen from a place of empathy and connection.
-
This workshop is perfect for anyone who finds themselves emotionally drained navigating relationships and years to build more authentic, compassionate relationships beginning with self-connection.
-
You can expect experiential practices where you get to work with other partners. Expect gentle practices, meaningful reflection, and moments of honest connection with. Through curiosity and compassion, you’ll explore how to listen to your inner world with compassion and discover new ways to communicate from the heart.
-
An open heart, a willingness to listen, feel and connect with yourself and others. There is no need to prepare or perform for this workshop.
