This is a fresh, personalised approach to change. You will be supported to untangle your Self, to take charge of your life! The benefits of group work are well established, we can feel more free to express ourself, in ways we may not give ourself permission normally. Regularly talking and listening to others also helps you put your own experiences in perspective. Oftentimes, you may feel like you are the only one struggling with your issues, but in a group you see you're not. It can be a relief to hear others discuss what they're going through and realize you're not alone.
Joining a group of strangers may sound intimidating at first, but group therapy provides benefits that individual therapy may not. In a group we have the opportunity to expereince how we are feeling, in a safe environment. Group members are almost always surprised by how rewarding the group experience can be. Group work allows us to see commonality, in how we often deal with experiences and how we create them.
Diversity is another important benefit of group therapy. People have different personalities and backgrounds and they look at situations in different ways.This alows participants to see what is actually happening for them and how we are percieving what we are feeling challenged with. By seeing how other people have similar challenges, we develop a broader perspective of what is actually happening for us, opening up the ability to let go of what is impeding us moving on.
Are you interested in Self Exploration? Would you be interested in exploring youself on a deeper level, to fully appreciate the choices you make? Do you feel there are repeating undesired patterns in your life? Are you feeling like you would like a deeper understanding of Who you are and how come you have the life you do? You are invited to participate in a weekly group of Self-exploration, in a safe environment with fellow travellers on the journey.
During the course of these weekly groups you will be presented with opportunities to challenge what you believe about yourself and life. You will be offered opportunities to develop a stronger connection with Who you really are, not what you have taken on about yourself. So much of our ‘self’ concept is based on perceptions that are based upon what we have taken in from ”others” about Who we are. In the course of these weekly groups you will be supported to Release your past, Rebuild your connection with Who you fully are and Restore real balance in your life! Be supported to take charge of YOUR life!
You can create your relationship as you choose, with a greater awareness of Who you are. There are no rigid beliefs upon which this approach is based. The intent is to support you to find your way to connect with Who you are on the deepest level, allowing you to make your choices from here. The group size will be a maximum of twelve participants, so booking is essential.

This retreat is the cornerstone of Self-exploration. Unless we can operate as a healthy adult in our life, as we choose, we simply are operating in childhood programs that we have no awareness of. This retreat is all about developing a healthy, loving relationship with your past experiences, through your Inner Child.
Acceptance and trust are essential to fully living our lives, yet we have little real support or experience for these in our lives. Few of us either accept or trust our Self. Much of what we have experienced and been taught, is simply fear or ‘survival’ based patterns, which are designed to create a sense of control. These patterns limit trusting, spontaneity, sensuality, emotional experiences and their expressions. These healthy experiences can at times seem elusive to embrace, given how we have been conditioned to live. We are able to set ourself free from these conditions, with choices based in awareness. This retreat will support you to embrace loving experiences and having clear boundaries. In this retreat you will be supported to connect with your resistance to these concepts, to experience the impact of allowing your self to embrace trust and acceptance. You will be invited to connect with the ways you seek to control your life and where this is based in. In this retreat you can explore connecting on a deeper level, building a safe space within and releasing what you feel impedes you. We will explore such experiences as; spontaneity, stillness, trust, pleasure, joys.
This retreat is an introduction to your archetypes and how the common-ones play out in your life. There has been much written about archetypes since Carl Jung originally proposed the concept one hundred years ago. Archetypes are, in many ways, the internal structure upon which we construct, perceive and relate with the world. Familiarity and acceptance of these are essential to any Self-awareness and integration. By bringing awareness and acceptance to our internal creations we can create our lives from a sound base, otherwise these archetypes are busy operating as our shadow.
This retreat is about exploring how you experience, relate with and perceive your sexuality. This aspect of our humanness, is rarely even acknowledged, let alone supported. In our contemporary society it can be a real challenge to value, let alone hold sacredness with our sexuality. It has in many ways been turned into a commodity to be traded. You will be supported to open up your relationship with your sexuality and how this has been created. In seeing our sexuality as sacred we are free to express ourself as we feel called to, without the restriction or limitations we have taken on from others. We become able to fully appreciate this amazing gift of love, expression and connection.
All relationships start with our Self-relationship, this is where we will start!

We all would love to improve the quality of our relationships, particularly with our Self. Relationships we all need them! What are your relationships like? We all yearn for a deeper connection with our Self and others. We all know there is a deeper level of love than we usually experience. How do we satisfy this yearning? We satisfy this by creating relationships that are open, respectful and honest. Understanding how you create the relationships you do, allows you to change. This retreat will support you to do this! This is a very practical retreat.
