‘If you are thirsty you must drink. Do not go to the well looking to teach others to drink’

Flourish: Beyond Wellbeing is a retreat from the business and the busyness of life, in the sacred sanctuary of Hawkwood College. This is a precious opportunity to breathe in, in a world that prioritises breathing out.

During these few days you will be supported and nourished, you will replenish your inner resources at all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, enabling you to be meet what 2020 brings from an empowered place of strength and confidence.

Our time is so precious, and we must think wisely how we use it. Often this leads us to think of every experience as an opportunity to develop new skills as a contribution to others. However, it can be a false economy to use the sacred space of retreat to do anything less than become intimate with our own needs and to replenish the most precious resource of all – ourselves.

The demands on us throughout the year mean we are often depleted in our energy and in need of inspiration, rest and restoration. To receive true nourishment, we must be prepared to drop everything and go inwards, to be curious and vulnerable and put our practitioner identities down. Outcomes must be set aside and instead trust that you will come for the right reasons, that you need space and care in a place such as Hawkwood which holds and nourishes us whilst being guided on your exploration of what it takes to truly flourish. I look forward to seeing you there.
