Release the past. Reconnect with yourself. Rediscover the joy of living.

"None of us go through life unscathed" 

Life has a way of leaving its mark on us, good and not so good..

We all experience moments of stress, loss, overwhelm and emotional pain. Sometimes, the easiest thing to do is push those feelings aside, carry on and tell ourselves we will deal with them another day.

But what happens when those experiences are never fully processed?

For some, the effects of prolonged stress and difficult experiences can show up years later as anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional exhaustion, physical tension, pain, illness, or a feeling of being disconnected from ourselves.

We cannot change our past, but we can change how we carry it into our future.

Perhaps you have reached a point where everything feels too much. You are constantly giving to others, running on empty or simply feeling that somewhere along the way, you have lost a little of yourself.

Maybe you have already explored different ways of healing but still feel there is something holding you back.

Or perhaps you simply long for a few days where you can stop, breathe and be completely looked after.

Perhaps something within your is calling for space, stillness and the chance to reconnect with yourself.                                   

After six deeply nourishing retreats in Cornwall, I'm delighted to return to Erth Barton for another restorative healing experience.

Our retreat home is Erth Barton which is set within the beautiful, peaceful surroundings of the historic St Anthony estate, this five-day, four-night retreat offers you the opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with your body, mind and soul.

Throughout our time together, I will gently guide and support you through a carefully created programme centred around Spinal Flow, Energetics and nervous system regulation.

These complementary approaches are intended to support relaxation, body awareness and emotional wellbeing, creating space to explore and process the stresses and experiences you may have been carrying.

Through gentle movement, breathwork, sound, stillness and connection, you will be invited to slow down, listen to your body and begin reconnecting with yourself.

There is no pressure to share, no expectation to participate in everything and no need to be anything other than who you are.

This is your retreat, your journey and your time to heal.

Your retreat experience will include:

• Up to four Spinal Flow and Energetics sessions per day, with time between sessions to rest, reflect and integrate your experiences.
• Gentle restorative, Hatha and Yin Yoga, suitable for complete beginners.
• Somatic movement with vestibular work to encourage gentle reconnection with the body.
• Breathwork and guided meditation to encourage calm and relaxation.
• Yoga Nidra for deep rest.
• Crystal Alchemy Sound Healing, allowing you to immerse yourself in beautiful healing sounds and vibrations.
• Guided Shamanic journeying, offering opportunities for personal reflection and connection.
• Daily talks, shared experiences and opportunities for reflection.
• Four nights’ accommodation in the beautiful surroundings of Erth Barton.
• Three freshly prepared nourishing vegetarian meals each day, lovingly created by our wonderful retreat chef, alongside snacks and refreshments during the retreat.

Please note: Spinal Flow sessions require you to be able to lie comfortably on a massage table. Please contact us beforehand if you have any concerns about accessibility or suitability.

There is something truly special about Erth Barton.

Nestled within the historic Antony Estate, surrounded by nature and peaceful Cornish countryside, it provides a beautiful setting to step away from the outside world.

From quiet mornings and nourishing meals to meaningful conversations, healing sessions and moments of stillness, every part of this retreat has been thoughtfully created to give you space simply to be.

You may wish to immerse yourself in every session, or you may choose to spend some time walking, resting, journalling or enjoying the tranquillity of your surroundings.

There is no right or wrong way to experience this retreat.

Some people join us because they are navigating a difficult chapter in their lives. Others come because they are exhausted, overwhelmed or simply need a break.

And some come with no particular reason other than knowing it is time to do something for themselves.

Everyone is welcome.

Wednesday 6th October - Sunday 10th October

Wednesday – Arrival and Connection

Arrive from 3pm, settle into your beautiful surroundings and begin to leave the outside world behind.

We will come together for a gentle welcome and opening circle, offering the opportunity to meet your fellow retreat guests before enjoying a delicious supper prepared by our chef.

Thursday to Saturday – Your Healing Journey

Our days will begin gently, with Mobility, Somatic movement or very gentle yoga followed by a nourishing breakfast.

Throughout the day, you will have opportunities to experience Spinal Flow and Spinal Energetics sessions, alongside our carefully curated programme of healing practices.

There will be plenty of time for rest, reflection, connection and simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Evenings will offer opportunities to unwind, share experiences and enjoy deeply relaxing practices.

Sunday – A Gentle Goodbye

We will begin our final morning together before enjoying breakfast and bringing our retreat to a peaceful close.

Departure will be by midday

.

Erth Barton is located near Saltash in Cornwall, just across the River Tamar, within the beautiful Antony Estate.

The retreat is easily accessible by road via the M5.

For those travelling by train, Saltash station is approximately 10 minutes away by car, with rail connections from London Paddington. Plymouth station is approximately 20 minutes away by taxi and offers direct services from Birmingham.

My intention for this retreat is to create a warm, nurturing and supportive space where you will feel totally held, so you are able to just stop, slow down, let go of the pressures of everyday life and focus entirely on yourself.

Healing is not about forcing change or becoming someone different. It is about reconnecting with who you are beneath the stress, expectations and experiences that life has placed upon you.

My hope is that you leave Erth feeling more grounded, deeply rested, supported and with a renewed sense of connection to yourself.

Whether you are beginning your healing journey, continuing the work you have already started or simply longing for a few days of peace, I would love to welcome you.

You spend so much of your life being there for everyone else. Perhaps now it is time to be there for yourself.

With love,

Georgina xx
