Come and join us for a 3-day weekend designed to nourish your soul!
The world has been a lot these last 5 years - and it is continuing! Let’s take some time together to do the things we need to do for ourselves.
This is a gathering for therapists to nourish ourselves, to create a sacred space where we collaborate and network, share skills and experiences, and learn from each other.
Reconnect with yourself and nature, enjoy a sense of community with your peers, while gently exploring our own therapeutic work in a light and casual setting.
WHAT YOU GET
A shared sacred space where we hold each others intentions, struggles, and dreams.
Rejuvenated sense of your connection to this work.
Creating meaningful sharing rituals and playful, experiential group processes together.
Six delicious and nutritious meals, cooked by Marion Baker. Coffee, tea, fruit and snacks.
Two nights of accomodation in a 3-storey log-cabin house by the Sumallo river. You have the option of a twin bed in a room shared with one other participant, or alternatively you can camp out in a tent (also shared).
Camp fire chats, complete with ‘smores and maybe even some campfire singing.
Time to do your own thing, such as yoga on the patio, a morning swim in the river, or to make new friends and casually connect with colleagues.
All activities are optional, and whenever you need you can take some time to chill or go for a hike, or simply enjoy being spoiled!
