Details of this retreat
Across the retreat, participants are guided through a series of experiential Shadow Work® processes, working with the four core archetypes. These processes are designed to help illuminate unconscious patterns, release stuck emotional material, and reclaim inner resources that may have been suppressed or fragmented over time.
Each participant will have the opportunity to work with a specific life or work-related issue, supported by skilled facilitation and the holding presence of a small group. The intention is not to fix or analyse, but to create the conditions for clarity, choice and forward movement to emerge organically.
The retreat is intentionally limited to eight participants, allowing for depth, safety and individual attention. There is also time woven throughout the weekend for rest, reflection, journaling and integration, supported by the surrounding natural environment.
What’s included
Facilitated, experiential Shadow Work® processes
Exploration of the four Shadow Work® archetypes
Space to work directly with a personal or professional issue
Group support within a contained, respectful environment
Guided integration practices
The setting
The retreat takes place at the peaceful Vedanta Retreat Centre in Lincolnshire, surrounded by 75 acres of woodland and nature. Accommodation is in private en-suite bedrooms, with three nourishing plant-based meals per day and all refreshments included. The centre also offers dedicated spaces for yoga, meditation and quiet reflection.
This retreat is suitable for those seeking deeper self-awareness, embodied insight and meaningful movement forward — in both life and work.
