Anxiety Relief Retreats
Our Anxiety Relief Retreat offers a restorative space to pause, reflect, and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface of anxiety.
Blending psychology, nervous system science, and relaxation practices, this half-day retreat helps you explore how anxiety develops — and how you can gently guide your body and mind toward calm.
Through a combination of guided exercises, discussion, and simple techniques, you’ll discover practical ways to manage worry, ease tension, and begin restoring a sense of safety within yourself.
What To Expect
This retreat weaves together education, science, practice, and reflection to help you build insight and confidence in managing anxiety day to day.
Together, we’ll explore:
🌿 The Science of Anxiety — understanding how the brain and body interact to create feelings of fear and worry.
🌿 Mind-Body Connection — why anxiety is as much physical as emotional, and how to work with your body to reduce symptoms.
🌿 Health Anxiety & Overthinking — recognising the cycle of fear and reassurance and learning how to interrupt it.
🌿 The Stress Response — how chronic activation keeps the body on high alert and what helps it reset.
🌿 Breath and Bodywork — accessible techniques to reduce panic, ground attention, and regulate the nervous system.
🌿 Somatic Tracking & Grounding — gentle awareness practices to observe sensations without judgement or fear.
🌿 Cognitive Tools — simple, structured ways to challenge anxious thoughts and reframe unhelpful patterns.
🌿 Connection & Reflection — quiet time to rest, enjoy refreshments, and connect with others who understand anxiety from the inside out.
Our Approach
Our approach combines the latest findings from neuroscience, psychology, and holistic health to offer a truly integrated perspective on anxiety.
We draw from cognitive behavioural therapy, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation techniques — as well as mindfulness and relaxation practices — to create a calm, evidence-informed environment for learning and recovery.
You won’t find quick fixes or generic advice here. Instead, this retreat offers thoughtful, grounded guidance that bridges science and compassion — helping you leave with insight, practical tools, and a renewed sense of calm.
