About this Retreat
Psychologist, Breathworker and Ceremonialist
Kat has over 20 years experience as a psychologist, coach and teacher of the nature of mind. Trained by Gabor Maté, Kat combines her work as a Somatic Psychotherapist, Holosomatic Breathworker and ceremonialist with her passion for embodied decolonisation. The work uncovers and releases layers of childhood & ancestral trauma, societal conditioning, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body.
Kat gently supports her clients to bring all aspects of experience into a place of wholeness and love, so that all of life can be related to with openness, empowerment and deep rooted kindness.
Bodyworker, Somatic Therapist and Ceremonialist
Drawing on her training in emotional intelligence, nature of mind teachings, and somatic connection, Lizzie offers a holistic, trauma-informed approach to wellbeing that supports a return to wholeness and freedom. Her apprenticeship with medicine elders has shaped a profound reverence for the power of ceremony, inspiring her passion for creating and sharing ritual spaces.
As a practitioner of Holosomatic Bodywork Therapy, Lizzie is devoted to supporting others in reclaiming full, untethered embodiment—opening pathways for the raw beauty of eros, spirit, and authentic human expression to be fully felt and lived.
Details of this retreat
Join experienced breathwork and somatic facilitators, Kat Ballam and Lizzie Keates for this special 3-day retreat from 17th-19th October, where we will deep dive into the healing power of breath, ritual, and community.
Holosomatic Breath Therapy combines Conscious Connected Breath with touch and movement to support the body and mind to access and release trauma carried from early life and inherited patterning.
Together we will open a safe and caring transformational space with our intentions and prayers, inviting healing for the patterns of disconnection passed down through generations.
Each ceremony offers the chance to rewrite and rewire the body and nervous system, opening to deeper consciousness, belonging, and freedom.
1:1 calls are offered as part of the retreat so you can explore the patterns specific to your life experience and lineage and feel supported as you move into and out of the retreat days.
Our retreat participants share they discover more regulation, clearer boundaries, warmer intimacy and a deeper sense of belonging—to self, lineage and the living world.
We will be staying at a beautiful retreat barn in Dartington, close to Totnes, Devon.
Arrival will be on Friday 17th early evening and departure will be late afternoon Sunday 19th October.
We'd love to have you join us!
