Do you sometimes feel the weight of patterns that are not yours?
Do you notice how past hurts - yours or inherited from family - quietly shape the way you parent, teach, or care for others?
This transformative retreat is a gentle, guided journey for adults who care for children and wish to release the silent inheritance of intergenerational trauma.
Through personal reflection, mindful movement, storytelling, and embodied practices, you will:
✨ Recognise how trauma echoes through generations and impacts your relationships
✨ Learn to separate your own emotional patterns from the needs of the children you care for
✨ Cultivate presence, compassion, and attunement in both home and educational environments
✨ Receive practical tools to move from carrying old stories to transforming them into understanding and peace
This day is for parents, ECE teachers, and anyone supporting children - anyone ready to bring awareness, love, and clarity to their relationships.
Evening Offering: A short, practical session on nervous system regulation for parents and teachers, helping you stay grounded and attuned even in challenging moments.
Spaces are limited to ensure a safe, reflective environment.
Book your place now: [email protected]
💛 Healing does not erase the past - it brings it home. Step into a day of reflection, release, and connection.
