Coming home: a retreat An invitation to return, not to a place we need to find or create, but to something that is already here.

So often, we live at a distance from ourselves. The mind moves quickly, planning and anticipating, while the body remains quietly present.

This half-day retreat offers space to gently reconnect with both, allowing body and mind to meet again in the present moment.

Coming back into the body can feel like coming home to yourself.
The body is always here breathing, sensing, responding, holding experience without judgement. When we bring awareness back into the body, the mind can soften, and we begin to feel more whole.

Coming home to the mind–body connection is not about fixing or improving who we are. It is about integration: allowing everything that is already here- sensation, thought, emotion, and breath- to exist together. From this place of integration, we may experience greater ease, clearer boundaries, and a deeper sense of belonging within ourselves.

What the Retreat Offers

This nourishing half-day retreat weaves together movement, stillness, touch, and shared nourishment to support a felt sense of coming home.

Through accessible therapeutic practices - including yoga, somatic movement, guided restorative touch, mindful facial practices, and reflective rest. Participants are invited to slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with themselves in a gentle, supportive environment.

We will also work with nesting dolls as a tactile and symbolic way to explore layers of self, boundaries, and integration, alongside dried flowers to invite beauty, ritual, and care into the space.

All practices are inclusive, adaptable, and open to all abilities. No prior experience is needed.

Includes:
• Two gentle yoga sessions
• Somatic and restorative touch practices
• Guided visualisation and creative reflection
• A nourishing two-course lunch.

When: Saturday 20th June Time: 10am - 2.15pm Venue: Amble Creative wellbeing, Gomshall Surrey Cost: £95.00 Booking here

Layers of the Self : retreat through movement, touch & inner mapping

Layers of the Self is a gentle, creative, and embodied retreat exploring the many parts that make up who we are and how they can be held, heard, and integrated into a sense of wholeness.

Using movement, breath, touch, symbolism, and nourishment, this retreat invites you to slow down and meet yourself with curiosity and compassion. Through the symbolic use of nesting dolls, we will explore different layers of the self: the parts that protect, feel, think, and hold our experiences, while staying rooted in the body as a place of safety and connection.

This is not about fixing or changing yourself it is about welcoming each part and allowing them to belong within the whole.

What the Retreat Includes

Somatic Yoga

An accessible, all-levels practice focusing on sensing rather than striving. Movement and breath support the heart, head, and lungs, inviting spaciousness, grounding, and nervous system regulation.

Inner Mapping with Nesting Dolls (Parts Work)

Using nesting dolls as a tactile and symbolic tool, we will gently explore different parts of the self: inner roles, emotions, and protective layers. This playful yet meaningful practice supports self-understanding, boundaries, and integration, allowing each part to be seen and held within the whole.

Touch, Presence & Emotional Softening

Through guided, optional self-touch and embodied awareness, we will explore how emotions live in the body, particularly around the heart, head, and breath. These practices support release, soothing, and reconnection, offered as a self-practice guided with care and respect.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is open to anyone seeking:

  • A deeper connection with themselves

  • Gentle nervous system support

  • Creative and embodied self-exploration

  • Rest, nourishment, and emotional ease

All practices are inclusive, adaptable, and optional. No prior experience with yoga, therapy, or parts work is required.

Layers of the Self is an invitation to come home to every part of you with softness, curiosity, and care.

The Gentle Return: An Offering of Rest and Ritual (Root & Mind)

Following the theme of The Gentle Return which I will offering this yearis a guided gathering devoted to rest, grounding, and gentle restoration.

This particular offering focusses on the root of the body and the settling of the mind: the foundation that supports our sense of safety, stability, and belonging. When the root is supported, the nervous system can soften, and the mind can begin to rest.

Through gentle somatic body practices, we will invite slow, respectful movement and awareness to the base of the spine, encouraging the release of stagnant or held energy. These practices are subtle and grounding, allowing the body to lead at its own pace, without force or expectation.

From this place of embodied support, we will transition into a longer yoga nidra–style guided rest, offering deep nourishment for the mind. This extended visualisation invites the brain and nervous system into a state of profound calm, supporting clarity, steadiness, and inner quiet. Everything offered is invitational and designed to cultivate a sense of safety, containment, and being held.

This is not a space to strive or achieve. t is a return to the body as a home, and to rest as a necessity.

You will be further nourished with a warming cup of golden milk and a homemade sweet treat inspired by my mother, Fatma, offered as a gesture of care and comfort
