Healing the Motherline retreat

Sound and movement

Using sound and movement we soothe the nervous system

During our retreat, you'll engage in gentle somatic healing sessions designed to offer healing for your body, mind, and spirit. Movement serves as a powerful tool for promoting mental well-being and mood balance as well as managing trauma responses within ourselves.

These sessions aren't merely relaxing; they're restorative in every sense. Through deep relaxation and mindfulness techniques, you'll learn to truly connect with your body and navigate through challenging emotions, experiencing healing and renewal.

In both movement sessions and workshops, our focus is on cultivating self-compassion and self-acceptance, fostering inner peace and a profound sense of calm.

Meditations

Guided meditations

Throughout the weekend we will provide group guided meditations to support your journey of 'Healing your Mother Line'. Meditations such as finding a restful and centred space, inner child meditations, visualisations, cord cutting, inner healing and ancestral journeys.

Family constellations

Group experiential work

Systemic constellations or family systems therapy, is a therapeutic approach based on the belief that family dynamics and family systems significantly influence our behaviour, emotions, and relationships.

In a family constellations session, the facilitator then helps you uncover hidden dynamics and unresolved issues within your family system by setting up a physical representation of key family members using other participants as "representatives." It is powerful work and can bring real aha moments.

Inner Child workshop

Healing the Mother Line: Inner Child Workshop Journey and meditation

Healing the mother line often involves navigating childhood wounds from trauma or dysfunctional family dynamics. An inner child workshop offers a safe space for this journey. Participants validate emotions, and learn to reparent themselves with kindness. Through therapeutic exercises and dialogue you will be able to reclaim your power and foster self-love. This journey of healing can transform your perspective and approach to trauma in childhood paving the way for authenticity, wholeness, emotional balance and effective coping strategies for when feeling overwhelmed.

Community and connection

Connect with likeminded people and share experiences in a safe space

Retreats offer a valuable chance to forge connections with like-minded individuals. Through shared experiences, feelings of isolation and loneliness dissipate, replaced by a sense of belonging and understanding. Participants emerge with a profound feeling of being heard and supported, knowing they are not alone in their journey.

This aspect holds particular significance for those from families where open, safe communication was not the norm. In group therapy sessions participants feeling safe is of utmost importance. Vanessa, a seasoned psychotherapist and group facilitator supports you to navigate potential triggers, especially common in individuals from dysfunctional family systems, with utmost care and attention throughout the retreat.

Mindful nature walk

Experience the benefits of nature and exploration in beautiful countryside

Immerse yourself in nature's embrace as you explore the countryside, where mindfulness and connection intertwine. Feel the soothing touch of the earth beneath your feet and the gentle caress of the breeze against your skin. As you wander through our picturesque landscape we support you to engage your senses and embrace the present moment.

We show you how to take a moment to pause and breathe, allowing the sights, sounds, and sensations of nature to wash over you.

Through mindfulness, you'll deepen your connection with the natural world and experience its profound healing benefits. As you open your heart to the rhythms of nature, you'll find peace and clarity in 'mother' earth.
