Hello, beautiful human.
What if, for a weekend, you didn’t have to hold it all together? What if you could simply drop into receiving mode, play in nature, rest and re-connect with the parts of you that don’t get much space in your day-to-day life?
Come as You Are is an invitation and permission slip to go on a gentle relational adventure with the whole palette of your humanness — your usual ways of creating safety and everything underneath: your tears and fears, resistances and longings, confusion and joy, anger, messiness, compassion, cheekiness and light-heartedness…
During our time together, there will be plenty of opportunities to explore authentic connection and what it has to offer you. We will come together in a circle, commune with nature and the elements during forest walks, engage in deep listening, authentic relating, circling and somatic exploration, gather around a fire, move and…see what else might emerge in our shared field of co-creation.
No pressure to do anything that doesn’t feel right for you in the moment, no expectations, no shoulds - this will be a deeply nurturing, supportive space, where you will be invited to take a pause when you need to, and rest as much as you engage.
We will be lucky to have access to a glorious land with an opportunity to connect with the local farm animals (sweet piggies, chickens and possibly horses!) during our breaks.
Also, to support dropping into receiving mode, our amazing chef Sharon will take care of all meals, offering delicious vegetarian breakfasts, lunches and dinners. To make sure it is enough - tea, coffee, and nourishing snacks will also be available throughout the day.

We invite you to join us for a residential weekend retreat of surrendered being and heart-to-heart connection.
You can expect an intimate feel and a sense of organic unfolding: being over doing, lots of pauses and opportunities to rest.
You can expect to come out enriched and deepened by the experience.
Possibly transformed in a way that is hard to put into words.
