Embodied Soul - Soulful Body is a residential retreat specifically designed for therapists. The aim of this retreat is to provide nurturing and resourcing (for both body and soul) for those in 'helping professions' - who spend most of their time caring for others.
We will be connecting to body, mind, heart and soul through movement, embodiment, meditation, sound and voice work, active imagination and visualisation, ritual, creative arts, and journaling.
We will explore what it means to be fully awake to our innate BodySoul wisdom and our life force and how to start moving from a 'survival mode' into creativity, flow and thriving. All of the practices offered on this retreat are designed to help us re-connect with our authentic Soul/Self.
