The call to change 

Something is shifting, both around us and within us. These are intense times, and it is easy to feel ungrounded or disconnected. The ways we were taught to cope, achieve, and stay safe no longer fit the reality we are living in, or the person we are becoming.

For some, this process of change has already been unfolding for years. Layers of conditioning have been shed. Old beliefs, inherited ways of being, and identities shaped around survival have been explored and released. And yet there is still a sense that there is more - another layer to let go of and another step ready to be taken.

In a changing world, people who are rooted, centred, and whole are deeply needed. People who are not so easily pulled about by the chaos. The question is whether we are willing to meet that change, and step into what is being asked of us.

Rising rooted

This in-person retreat is a space to meet that next layer of change. Held as we approach Samhain at the time of the full moon as we enter the darker half of the year, it is a time for letting go. It is a time for ending identities, beliefs, and patterns that have been shaped by the need to survive, whether from this life or inherited through the ancestral line, but that now hold us back from thriving.

Within a held container, and in community alongside others who are also on this journey, you will be invited to allow another layer of the old story to fall away. To let those aspects of you that need to die, do just this, so that something new can begin to emerge.

This is about becoming more resilient and adaptable to change and transformation. It is about finding ways to keep your integrity and wholeness whilst facing the chaos of a changing world. It is about finding your ground, so that you are rooted, clearer on your path, and more able to meet what is here. 

This retreat is designed to help you:

Become more rooted and centred in the midst of change, so you are less easily knocked about by the world around you.
Recognise and release patterns that no longer fit, so you can make decisions that truly support you.
Shed another layer of the old story, creating space for something new to emerge.
Build resilience and adaptability through transformation, even as old systems begin to fall away.
Leave clearer on your path, clearer on your role, and clearer on what you want from life.
