Three days of deeply focused therapeutic work in complete privacy and surrounded by nature.One person. One therapist. No groups. No other retreat guests. Your own private space and undivided attention. When life, relationships, trauma or major change leave you overwhelmed, disconnected or simply no longer feeling like yourself, sometimes ordinary weekly therapy isn’t enough.
Natural Attitudes offers an immersive three-day retreat where you can step completely out of your usual environment and give yourself the time, space and professional support to go deeply into what is happening for you.Through somatic psychotherapy, embodied practices and deeply attuned therapeutic work, we work with both the mind and the body to understand what has happened, release what is ready to move and reconnect you with yourself and the life you want to inhabit.
Dedicated time and therapeutic space to understand, repair and renew your relationship.One couple. One therapist. No groups. No others retreat guests. Your relationship is the focus.When conflict, resentment, disappointment or emotional distance have begun to obscure love and connection, it can be difficult to find your way out whilst caught in ingrained, unproductive relational patterns.Stepping away from everyday life and accessing dedicated professional support creates the space to interrupt the loops that would otherwise continue on autopilot. With deeply attuned guidance, you can slow down, be heard and understood, and begin to develop a more functional, connected and responsive way of relating.Through individual sessions and facilitated couples work, we thoroughly track the unique dynamic between you — your history, individual needs and the patterns that emerge between you — and guide the work accordingly. Somatic psychotherapy and relational work support deeper understanding, repair and greater safety, trust, intimacy and connection when you are both dedicated to revitalising a valuable relationship that has become challenging or disconnected.
What Makes Our Retreats Different
This is is not a retreat where you join a programme. It is a private therapeutic space created entirely around you and what you have come to work through… A safe space of compassion and attunement where you are held, understood and seen.
Unhealed trauma and unresolved emotional experiences can profoundly affect how we relate to ourselves and each other. They can contribute to reactive triggers, conflict, defensiveness, withdrawal, resentment, anxiety, disconnection and difficulty feeling safe, understood and connected.
Our retreats create the time, space and professional support to move beyond these patterns and explore what lies beneath them. Through somatic psychotherapy and relational work, we work with what is happening emotionally, relationally and in the body, helping you understand the deeper roots of your patterns and develop more effective ways of responding and relating.
From this deeper understanding, new insights and possibilities can emerge. You begin to feel lighter, more connected and more authentically yourself, with a clearer sense of what is possible for your future — and leave with the tools and resources to continue living and relating in ways that support this.
Only one individual or one couple is in residence at a time. There are no groups and no other retreat guests. The entire retreat is responsive to your unique needs, history and what emerges through the work.
Here, nature, privacy and deeply attuned therapeutic support come together to create the space for genuine change — and for you to reconnect with yourself, each other and begin to live the new possibilities.
