Workshops for Retreats

A space to pause, understand yourself and take something useful home.

A retreat gives stressed people time away from their usual daily and corporate demands. My workshops help them use that valuable time to reflect, reconnect and explore a different way forward so they can be happier, more fulfilled and productive individuals.

Choose a theme that fits your retreat. I will shape the session around your guests, the setting and the time available.

Emotional Eating

When food becomes comfort

Sometimes food offers a break, a reward or a little relief at the end of a difficult day. In this workshop, we look at the connection between feelings, eating habits and the moments when reaching for food becomes automatic.

Through guided reflection, participants identify situations that trigger the pattern and consider what they may be needing at those times. We explore other sources of comfort without guilt or rigid rules around food.

Guests leave with: a clearer picture of their personal triggers and one supportive response to practise.

The Rules of the Mind

Why do we keep repeating familiar patterns?

We all develop habits and beliefs about ourselves. Some help us; others can leave us doubting ourselves or reacting in ways we later wish we could change.

This interactive workshop introduces the role of attention, self-talk and learned responses in everyday life. Participants choose a personal example, explore the thinking around it and practise a different perspective.

Guests leave with: a useful insight about one familiar pattern and a small action to try after the retreat.

Guided Meditation

Time to slow down and reconnect

A gentle session for guests who need space to settle, breathe and turn their attention inward. I guide the group through relaxation and imagery, with a theme chosen for your retreat: calm, confidence, self-compassion or reconnecting with inner resources.

Participants can sit comfortably, close their eyes if they wish, or simply listen. No previous meditation experience is needed.

Guests leave with: a simple calming practice they can use again.

Inner Child Healing

Meet yourself with greater compassion

This workshop uses gentle reflection and guided imagery to explore emotional needs and the ways we speak to ourselves today. Participants are invited to bring kindness and reassurance to a younger version of themselves, in whatever way feels comfortable.

The focus is on present-day self-care. No one is asked to share private experiences or revisit painful memories with the group.

Guests leave with: a self-compassion practice and a personal intention for caring for themselves.

Shaped around your retreat

Each workshop includes an introduction, guided exercises and time to reflect on what participants want to take into everyday life. Sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes and can be adapted to the retreat’s theme and group size.

Participation is always a choice. Guests may join in, observe or pause, and sharing personal experiences is optional.

Let’s plan your session

Tell me your retreat theme, date, location and expected number of guests. We can choose a workshop and agree on a format that fits your programme.

These are wellbeing workshops. They do not provide group psychotherapy, trauma treatment or eating-disorder treatments.
