This immersive full day retreat combining three powerful modalities; Transformational Breath®, Sound Therapy and Reparenting on Sunday 11th June 2023 will illuminate your body, mind and soul.

Things we may lose touch with sometimes, but are all worthy of receiving.

Melissa Maouris (Reparenting coach) leads the day with a Reparenting session to connect with your inner child and discover the power of play. Reparenting is a tool that allows you to overwrite long-standing patterns and transform the relationship you have with yourself.
In this session we'll hold space for your inner child and use play to connect you to a grander vision of yourself to guide you into your next chapter. Play is the gateway to flow state and research shows that adults who make time to play have less anxiety and experience more life satisfaction. Together we'll break down any barriers within yourself to play and pleasure and uncover insights for how to gain more access to it.
We’ll take a break for a tasty, healthy lunch before enjoying some movement, followed by a powerful Transformational Breath® journey with Brenna Duncan (Arise Breathwork). Transformational Breath® is a simple, yet powerful breathwork practice with vast benefits for your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Change the way you breathe, change the way you live - it sounds so simple and it really is!
Benefits of Transformational Breath include reduced stress and anxiety, increased energy, improved mental clarity and focus, boosted immune system and improved sleep patterns. It's a wonderful detoxification of the body that helps integrate past traumas and improve relationships, giving you a deeper connection to self and your intuition so you'll leave feeling clearer, calmer, lighter and brighter.
Music and therapeutic sounds will be woven into the breathwork experience which will be followed by a grounding and nourishing sound journey from Michelle Cade (Mind Like Water Wellbeing). This will allow you space to process anything which may have arisen during the session, further harmonising and balancing your body and mind.
Expect an atmospheric sonic journey combining binaural beats, ambient soundscapes, nature sounds and a variety of instruments including Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, a monochord, buffalo drum, steel tongue drum and voice. Enter a world of vibration and sensation as you experience the healing powers of sound!
After this immersive sonic journey, we’ll gather around the fire to drink sacred cacao, sing songs and have an opportunity to share any insights or awarenesses with each other before heading home.
