the venue
Deep in the Cornish countryside, this magical venue is situated in the most stunning natural environment.
Set on a hillside overlooking lush forest, a sacred waterfall cascades through a great circle in the rock face.
The shared accommodation is arranged over 2 houses with the most beautiful views.
We will be working in the sunny hilltop studio overlooking the forests, and have private access to the waterfall for early morning and evening jaunts.
We will make full use of this private idyll, using the meditation space, firepit and hidden pathways into the woods as part of our rest and integration throughout the retreat.
Morning movement
We will be offering a 45 minute movement practice each morning.
These classes are accessible to all bodies and are optional - we offer them as we believe it's helpful to move things through the body as well as the psyche.
Body Medicine® is a system of movements and tools that works through the body to heal the whole, you can read more about this system HERE
NOURISHMENT
Our experienced chef has created a menu that is bursting with colour, rich flavours and is balanced healthily to provide us with the sustenance we need to energise and integrate our work.
It's all covered, from breakfast, lunch and dinner to a wide selection of beverages on offer though out, and of course snacks.
And cake - we need cake.
Dietary requirements taken on board so just let us know.
creative
integration
Shadow Work™ is deep work, and we believe that it takes a while to integrate it...we want to give you the the space to begin this journey with us on retreat, to ease you back into your daily life well rested and unrushed.
Creative integration includes, prompted journaling practice, simple arts, walking, guided meditation and bodywork.
There will be a selection on offer on the final day of the retreat, and of course - everything is optional.
It can be as simple as taking a walk in the woods, an early morning or evening dip in the river, or resting in the garden with a good read.

returning home
As well as a day of rest and creative integration, we offer 30 - 60 min call in the couple of weeks post retreat to discuss your experience with the work and anything that has arisen for you in that time.
Participants sometimes create groups of their own to support each other and stay in touch after the retreat.
