WHAT TO EXPECT
Menopause and perimenopause can bring about a wide range of emotional and physical changes, often leaving us feeling disconnected or misunderstood.
This retreat offers you a sanctuary where you can explore these changes with compassion, while being held in a community of women who share similar experiences. A half-day retreat aka somatic escape into a sanctuary of calm.
This isn’t about ‘managing’ symptoms or joyfully celebrating your ‘second spring’. It’s very much about leaning into the realness, the complexity of it all, about reconnecting with your body’s wisdom and finding empowerment within your own unique experience.
We are all uniquely wired with unique histories and unique nervous systems. We will likely experience menopause in our own unique way and there is no wrong here.
• We will explore some gentle somatic practices to be with our bodies, be with our experience with softness and forgiveness, allowing space for all emotions.
• We’ll be bringing in a sense of curiosity and exploration around our emotional experience of menopause, making space for grief, relief, release, celebration – welcoming what feels most alive for you right now as an individual.
• Drawing upon the medicine of the breath, we’ll be inviting in an experience of ease and peace, filled with self-compassion and self-acceptance.
• This is a space for empathy over advice, curiosity over judgement, your intuition over anyone else’s answers.
• Tea and treats will be free-flowing, and we’ll close our time together with a shared meal of nourishing and nutritious home-cooked food (made with love by Olivia!)
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and honour with love and reverence this profound and challenging chapter in your life.
By creating space for reflection and self-care, you’ll leave feeling more aligned with your body, empowered in your journey, and deeply connected to a community that truly understands.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
💗 You’re seeking a safe, supportive space to explore the physical and emotional changes of menopause without judgment.
💗 You want to reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom through somatic practices, breath and community
💗 You’d like to invite in more ease, softness and curiosity around this challenging time
💗 You’d like the chance to share your experience in a nurturing community of women who truly understand.
💗 You’ve felt disconnected from yourself and are looking to rediscover a deeper connection to your body and inner self.
💗 You want to cultivate self-acceptance and empowerment as you navigate the changes menopause brings.
💗 You’re feeling overwhelmed by symptoms and want a calm, healing environment to rejuvenate and realign.
💗 You desire time away to reflect, rest, and reconnect with what this stage of life means for you.
SOMATIC PRACTICE
Somatic practice is a body based healing technology that can dissolve and resolve the barriers we’ve inherited and accumulated in our system. These barriers – stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, conditioned beliefs – are often blockages to experiencing life at its fullest.
When we tune into the wisdom of the body, we access levels of awareness and inspiration that enable actions and decisions that may historically have felt too confusing or too difficult.
We make space for more clarity, compassion, ease and flow, which opens a portal within for an experience of the deepest, truest sense of self-trust.
Somatic practice transcends talking therapy and goes way beyond our past stories. Instead of just retelling our stories for momentary relief we are tapping into the innate wisdom within. This empowers us to change our relationship with ourselves, which ripples into our lives and create fundamental change externally too. All without needing to revisit how we got here.
Some of the benefits include:
💗 More compassion, acceptance and non-judgment for our ever changing internal world
💗 More capacity to be with complexity of being human
💗 More peace with internal and external inconsistency and uncertainty
MORE ABOUT BREATHWORK
Transformational Breathwork works powerfully and quickly, offering a potent alternative to ‘conventional’ forms of meditation.
It induces a non-ordinary state of consciousness, helping to bypass our thinking brain, quiet the mind chatter and allow us to drop into our bodies. A noisy mind may experience true peace and stillness for the first time.
Instead of listening to our heads as we usually do, Breathwork gifts us the space to really hear our hearts. To drop into a space where self-compassion flows unobstructed.
It has the capacity to move and transform, integrate and soften the emotional and energetic material held within our bodies, creating space to shift decades of limiting beliefs and behavioural patterning.
When we clear our stuck emotions – all the thwarted experiences of sadness, fear and anger – our brains become more coherent and our nervous systems soothed. We start to feel calmer and clearer, and more able to live with courage, compassion and confidence.
Breathwork offers an opportunity to connect to our life force energy, the loving presence that exists within each of us. The more often and more deeply we connect with this space, the more our embedded conditioning starts to transform and we find ourselves released from painful patterns.
Within a session we may experience spontaneous ‘parts work’, where parts of our psyche speak to us revealing our deepest truths and wisdom. We may experience in a deeply embodied way that our ‘answers’ are always within us.
