Relax.Release.Restore
15th March, 10am-4pm, Nurstead Court, Kent
A Gift of Absolute Rest & Relaxation
March is the natural new year and the Spring equinox.
So it's the perfect time to unfurl from hibernation, whether it's your own personal retreat or simply stepping out of the winter slumber.
Just like the spring bulbs poke their green heads above the soil; dormant trees burst forth with delicate blossom and the dark nights draw out, today is a gentle process.
Join me on this Somatic Spring Day Retreat and let's focus on relaxation, releasing and restoration.
Somatic opening is the undoing of one's historical shape so another shape can come to life. Undoing means the opening up and dissolving of the set of habits, behaviours, ways of being, interpretations of the world, emotional range (or lack of) and literal contractions that we have embodied - Richard Strozzi-Heckler

What is Somatic Practice?
We are in a world that glorifies busy-ness and 'things'. The endless noise has distanced us from our bodies, creating a sense of disconnect that many no longer know how to bridge.
Somatics is the antithesis of this. It creates a culture and pathway back to presence, to wholeness - to your inner wisdom and truest self.
It's about working in union with your body, taking wisdom and guidance from her to navigate and co-create your life.. and a life that can be ALL you wish it to be.
It's a way of being that offers healing at every level - mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.
The subtle art of Somatics offers not just a window to a new world, but a doorway to step through and in to it.
Here's a peak at the last retreat
Nurstead Court, a beautiful home nestled in the Kent countryside, is the host for our retreat.
Surrounded by nature outside and history inside, the energy of this space adds that extra touch of magic.
The 5D Effect
Your Body Is Your Memory In Motion
Imagine a 3D pop up book...how much more compelling and fun was it to read a book, where the pictures popped right out of the page?
Now imagine that's what happens on the INSIDE of your body with every experience you have in life. Only we're talking about a 5D imprint. Every experience being recorded in sight, sound, smell, taste, touch and FELT sense.
.
This recording being archived in your fascia, bones, ligaments, joints, muscles... creating and storing narratives that determine the SHAPE in which you experience and create your world.
.
Somatic Exercise places your body in the optimum environment to release the shapes that are causing limitation in your life. Whether it's limiting thoughts and expectations; physical pain, discomfort or limitation; bad relationships or struggling with your emotions (as examples)... Somatic exercise allows the wisdom of the body to release these from the hidden and Somatic Psychology allows for you to bring them to your conscious.
.
What does Somatic Exercise Look Like?
It's slow. Very slow (this video is on 8x speed!). Why? Because we want to bypass the bodies automatic responses and create ultimate comfort and safety. This is the recipe for deep relaxation and release.

-Thomas Hanna
Hearing The Messages
Dreamtime Journey
Also known as Somatic Psychology, this meditative experience is how we begin to to access the wisdom of the body.
Learning to trust the experience - visions, messages, sensations - what begins as a whisper of intuitive wisdom and intelligence, becomes a language only we can understand.
By the end of the day, you'll be able to access The Wisdom of The Group, sharing your experiences and helping others to hear and make sense of theirs.
Dreamtime Journey is a practice that builds your intuition, trust and innate intelligence and wisdom.

Lavinia
We live in a world where logic is massively overrated, emotions are seen as a weakness and decisions based on intuition have little or no place. We have forgotten where we came from.

Hi, I'm Louise
Somatics has changed my life.
After a very challenging few years, I discovered that my Nervous System was totally dysregulated. I felt disconnected from myself from life and wanted to retreat from everything and everyone.
With over 30 years in the healing, health and coaching industries I was petrified because none of the tools I had were helping me. Then I was introduced to Somatic practice.
I RESHAPED EVERYTHING
Somatic practice has helped me process grief and PTSD; healed very long term back pain and helped me find my calling and navigate my business with courage and faith.
Because I am so much happier, my relationship has improved and I'm simply experiencing my life in a way I did not imagine I could.
And now I want to share this with the world.
Where and When?
Join me in the library at Nurstead Court, in the beautiful Kentish village of Meopham.
With plenty of free parking and just a 5 minute walk from the train station which has a direct link to London Victoria, it could't be easier to get here.
Date: Saturday 15th March Time: 10am-4pm
