Feeling for Healing
Are you longing to reconnect with yourself? To move beyond survival mode, reconnect with your emotions, and restore a sense of flow and ease in your body? Join me for a nurturing, transformative retreat designed to guide you back into connection with the felt sense of your body, process and release stuck emotion and find wholeness, safety and ease.
Drop out of the thinking mind and into the feeling body
On this retreat, nestled in the serene countryside of the Scottish Borders, we will move beyond the survival state and return to the wisdom of the body. In a deeply nurturing and compassionate space, we will explore somatic practices and emotional embodiment to rebuild a connection to our bodies, safely feel and release the emotions that are keeping us stuck in survival mode, and find our way back to ease and flow.
You will leave feeling lighter, deeply nourished, and more connected to your body and heart- ready to embrace life with a renewed sense of wholeness.
Connection and release
Our modern way of living, past experiences and trauma can keep us in survival mode, living in our heads and disconnected from the safety, wisdom and grounding of our bodies. Often we live in our heads- overthinking and underfeeling which can leave us disconnected and numb. Somatic practice can reconnect us to the felt sense of our body and the flow of our emotions, returning us to states of grounding, lightness and flow.
Somatic Practices: Gentle techniques to build compassionate connection with your body and support nervous system health
Embodiment & Gentle Movement: Exercises to help you drop out of your thinking mind, awaken your body’s wisdom and release stored tension
Emotional Processing: Learn to feel and process emotions in a supportive and guided space, through movement, breath and sound to find freedom and ease
Delicious Vegetarian Meals: Nourishing, wholesome food prepared with intention and love
Family-Style Connection: We will live and practice in community, forming a small family group for the duration of the retreat- a place to feel truly safe and supported
Time to Rest & Restore: Enjoy moments of quiet reflection, relaxation, and self-care in the beautiful house and grounds
What previous retreat participants have said
I knew very quickly after chatting with Louise that I was going to join the mind-body retreat. She is an incredible coach and facilitator who is living proof that you can thrive after significant health challenges. Having searched for ways to help me to recover from chronic illness for over 4 years, this experience has been by far the most powerful, and far exceeded my expectations. I found it deeply healing and restorative, with a variety of resources and techniques to sustain the practices afterwards.
Louise has such a gentle, compassionate style, whilst being highly skilled at tailoring and facilitating deep individual and group experiences in a humble and respectful way. We also laughed a lot, which was a great release!The excellent food was a significant part of the feeling of being cared for and nourished.
I am feeling energised and optimistic for the first time in a while. Highly recommended.
