Circling & Authentic Relating @ Laughton Lodge

This is our ninth invitation to Laughton Lodge!

If you've been here you are already familiar with warmhearted surroundings and people of this amazing community. If you are new to all of this - we warmly invite you to join our explorative community!

We've been holding these retreats seasonaly and now with a regular group of people coming back it's becoming a wonderful community focused on exploring human connection helping us to explore judgements assumptions projections and welcoming us all on this journey of being a human.

Together through practices of Circling and Authentic Relating we develop deeper awareness of themselves and others. We discover how much more we can experience an give to each other when we decide to be with what is and witness the unfolding of the present moment.

Both Circling and Authentic Relating are a relational presence practices that involve a gathering of individuals to explore and enhance their awareness of their own and others' experiences emotions and perspectives.

The focus is on the question "what is it like to be you right now?" by moving from surface-level content communication to deeper relational interactions.

Participants are motivated to share their current sensations thoughts feelings and desires authentically without trying to alter others.

Those practices can be diverse combining meditative elements with verbal and physical expression fostering self-awareness effective communication mindfulness and personal growth opportunities.

We notice our own stories witness assumptions or projections and see what's trully there in front of us and inside us.

During our retreat apart from Circling and Authentic Relating Sessions we will offer Yoga class Sound Healing Ceremony Somatic Dance class.

You are invited to attend what feels right for you everything is an offering and invitation. We will be working one to one in small and larger group settings in glorious nature and nourished by wonderful vegan food provided by our cook Sharon Smith of Leaf and Ladle.

Join us for a transformative residential weekend of self-discovery connection and personal growth. Join our community and grow with us.

We invite you to embrace the change with others in deep connection exploring the light and shadow within and without ourselves. To be your authentic self in a transformative residential weekend of self-discovery connection and personal growth. Relating to each other in deep nature.

The retreat invites you into the space of shared humanity where both light and dark are equally loved and honoured. This may involve a surrender to the process of your own (un)becoming. It may allow you to slow down and shed just as the sap sinks and the leaves fall.

Embracing the change of Autumn takes courage imagination and time.

What better time to look at our own long shadows and open up to the riches it is holding for us? Will you take that journey with us?
