Metamorphosis: Intensive Group Therapy Day Retreat
Metamorphosis: Intensive Group Therapy Day Retreat
Join us for this a Transformative Journey of Healing & Authentic Connection
Are you ready to explore the deepest parts of yourself, heal old wounds, and unlock the transformative power of your authentic self energy? Join us for the Metamorphosis: Intensive Group Therapy Day Retreat, a deeply immersive, full-day experience designed for those seeking profound personal growth, emotional healing, and connection.
In our small, intimate, and supportive group setting, participants will be guided through a range of therapeutic practices, providing a safe and nurturing environment to connect with your true, authetnic self. This retreat offers a unique opportunity to explore and heal the "parts" of yourself through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), where every part of you is treated with care, compassion, and acceptance.
What to Expect:
1. Internal Family Systems (IFS) Work: Using the IFS therapeutic model, we will explore the various parts of your psyche—the protective, wounded, and vulnerable aspects of yourself. By engaging with your inner child and other parts of your being, we will create space for deep healing, self-compassion, and integration. This approach encourages a greater understanding of your inner landscape, fostering balance and wholeness.
2. Expressive Arts Therapy: Through creative expression, we will engage in transformative activities that allow you to process emotions and experiences that words cannot always capture. Whether through art, movement, or writing, expressive arts will serve as a powerful tool for emotional release and healing.
3. Somatic Experiencing: Our bodies hold the memories of our past experiences. Through somatic exercises, we will explore how emotions are stored within the body and how to release any tension or trauma that may be preventing you from moving forward. This practice allows for a deeper connection between mind and body, promoting healing on a cellular level.
4. Psychodrama: Through role-play and group interaction, psychodrama will allow you to step into different roles and perspectives, offering insight into unresolved issues and providing the opportunity to work through unresolved emotions. This dynamic and experiential approach fosters catharsis and healing.
5. Inner-Child Connection Exercises: A central focus of this retreat is nurturing your inner child. By connecting with the younger, vulnerable parts of yourself, you will learn to provide care, compassion, and love to the parts of you that may have been neglected or abandoned in the past. These exercises foster self-love and self-compassion, essential for personal growth and emotional healing.
6. Grief Ceremony: The Grief Ceremony at our group therapy retreat offers a powerful opportunity to witness and be witnessed in the process of healing. You will have the chance to share a personal grief story and move through your emotions with guided support. This grief ceremony will honour the way we were always meant to grieve—together, in connection, and with community.
Why Attend the Metamorphosis Retreat?
Transformative Healing: This retreat offers an opportunity for deep emotional healing, helping you release old patterns and integrate all parts of your being with love and acceptance.
A Safe, Supportive Space: With a small group setting, you will feel held, supported, and seen as you explore the parts of yourself that have long needed attention and care.
Tools for Lasting Change: Learn therapeutic techniques and practices you can continue using in your personal journey, empowering you to heal and grow long after the retreat ends.
A Chance to Reconnect: By embracing your inner child and the various parts of yourself, you will come away with a renewed sense of self-worth, balance, and connection.

The Embodied Self Connection retreat is designed to help you feel truly embodied—to reconnect with your body, emotions, and inner wisdom in a deep, grounded way.

Somatic exercises will help you release stored tension, trauma, and emotional blocks, while expressive arts therapy will allow you to express and process what’s inside through creative movement, art, and other forms of expression.
