Blame, Shame & Belonging
With 
Ruth Culver

So often, the parts of us that carry blame and shame are simply trying to protect us from being hurt. Yet over time, these patterns can leave us feeling isolated, unworthy and disconnected. This retreat offers a compassionate space to pause and listen deeply to what each part of you truly needs.
Through the transformative lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), you'll be guided to meet your inner world with curiosity, to discover the positive intention of harsh inner voices, release old burdens, and reconnect to the natural clarity and calm of your core Self.
We'll explore using Ruth Culver's Drawing into Self method: an accessible and powerful way of engaging with IFS. Using spontaneous scribbling — no art skill needed! — you'll discover how parts can speak directly from the body, bringing insight and healing.

Being in groups can sometimes feel difficult, so the retreat is designed to support you to experience safe, authentic connection and discover that belonging arises naturally when all parts are welcome.

Touch and Play

This is a gathering about play, vulnerability and building community rich in emotional, sensorial and erotic intelligence. We invite you to come home to this diverse community of dancers, somatic explorers and embodied humans.
This Years Theme: RAWR!
A rallying cry for the parts of us that were civilized, silenced, or carefully curated. RAWR! is an invitation back into the body — into aliveness, instinct, vulnerability, and connection.
Soft edges. Sharp teeth. Both belong.
We're not here to compete, compare, or perform empowerment. We're here to stand together where rage, grief, power, pain, and healing coexist — and say: I see you. You belong.
This is siblinghood, not posturing. Scars welcome.
We've been fed endless scripts about who we should be: smaller, nicer, sexier, quieter, less angry, less complicated. RAWR! burns those scripts. Not to destroy for the sake of it — but to make space for something real.
Yes, there is anger here. And beneath it: grief, disconnection, unmet longing, a thousand small betrayals.
Feeling our feelings as an act of tuning into our inner strength and power.
This is not about turning against each other, or ourselves. We don't create new enemies. We turn against hatred, division, bypassing, and bullshit. We rage for something: connection, community, and values that don't collapse under fear.
RAWR! is a creative field rooted in:
Primal courage meeting big feelings with curiosity and guts
Vulnerability— being seen without performance or apology
Connection — body, breath, earth, ancestry, and each other
Play — pleasure, laughter, sexiness, rest, and joy as liberation
Workshops may explore movement, voice, rage, pleasure, ritual, consent, rhythm, and relational edges — always grounded in embodied truth.
RAWR! welcomes the full human spectrum. You don't need fixing. You don't need a label. Just a body. Just honesty.
Come as you are.
Bring your claws. Bring your soft belly.
Let yourself RAWR!

ISTA L1 UK

A Journey into the Living Mysteries
In the heart of Somerset, where the veils between worlds grow thin and the ancient stories still whisper through the stones, we gather. The ISTA Level 1 Training returns to the mystical lands near Glastonbury this August, held at the EarthSpirit Centre, a sanctuary where the land itself remembers.
This training will be peeling away of what is borrowed, inherited, and imposed, until what remains is the quiet truth of your own essence.
Guided by a rare constellation of facilitators - Raffaello Manacorda, Federica Clemente, Jack Dreki, and Aaron Mandelbaum, and lovingly held by organiser Lola - this journey carries the resonance of years of devotion to the ISTA path. Together they weave a field where transformation is invited, through story, silent touch, and the elemental pulse of life itself.

The EarthSpirit Centre, only fifteen minutes from Glastonbury, sits upon ancient ley lines and breathes with the memory of Avalon. Its gardens, waters, and hearths have held countless ceremonies and circles - and once again, they open their arms to us. Our hosts there offer breathing container of warmth and care.

"We shall not cease from exploration,
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
— T.S. Eliot

Dancing through the Dark Woods
With 
Sheila  and Richard Blackwell

On this magical journey we will explore how Fairy Tales serve as mirrors reflecting our collective consciousness, offering insights into our deepest fears, aspirations, and moral dilemmas. By listening to the whispers of symbolism found within these tales, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, about morality, sexuality, spirituality and society. Classic tales such as Grimm's Snow White contain metaphorical and symbolic power that go beyond the boundaries of the personal-self and into transpersonal/collective growth. The enduring magic of these enchanting stories holds great potential power that can reshape our world, re-kindle our imagination and change the stories we tell ourselves.

Residential with Andreas Müller
With 
Andreas Muller

Conversations around Non-Duality; When this message is met freshly, it may become
revolutionary. What was limited by the illusion of a separate experiencer, turns out to be boundless freedom.
What has been a personal experience only, turns out to be unlimited energy. What was rejected, is revealed to be all there is - and is revealed to be perfect love. This revelation is impersonal, yet it is without doubt.
This vivid and ungraspable appearance is nothing and everything. 'You reading these lines' is the directness and totality from which nothing is separate. 'You reading these lines' - and all that seems to be happening with it - is neither a concept nor an experience. Who could watch this totality? Who could experience everything that seems to be happening and who could find an answer to it?
'What seems to be happening' cannot be grasped as it is not an experience. It is an impersonal appearance - direct and total, yet empty and uncompromising. There is nothing to achieve. There is no one. This apparent happening is all there is. It does not lead anywhere, it does not have any intention, it will not help anyone to become more complete.
