Wayfinder Retreat:
Redesign Your Life !
Monday 16th – Friday 20th September 2024
Frome, Somerset UK
Given the speedy passage of time and the increasing complexity of life, now, more than ever, it's essential to reinvest in ourselves.
​
Are there parts of you feeling afraid, foggy, or untethered?
​
Can you hear yourself searching for something larger, more expansive?
If you know you need something but can’t put your finger on what, ask your partner, your family, your friends, heck even your boss… but most importantly yourSELF, if you deserve the gift of this retreat.
​
Join me for a very special week, immersing yourself in transformative and invigorating practices and workshops, where you’ll acquire the practical tools and profound insights necessary to rediscover your true essence and forge a life that feels like a full body YES!
This retreat will be an unforgettable experience with time to recharge, renew and reconnect. Set on a majestic regnerative farm and nature reserve in rural Somerset, you can explore the 173 acres of wild spaces, ancient woodland, tranquil 7-acre lake for wild swimming, and an abundance of wildlife. This is the perfect setting to return to harmony with self, nature and others.
