Deep Healing Retreat: Embodied practices for therapists and those who hold space

Located in Hepburn Springs, Victoria, we have the entire Continental House to roam, find our own little nook and settle in, sit in the garden or go for walks through nature.

Enjoy the sumptuousness of having your own space, meals served to you and yoga designed for your needs. Then dive into experiential understanding of Yoga Psychology ~ how the sensing, feeling body informs the mind about safety and social engagement, armouring and withdrawal. Expect a deep dive into the mind’s nature and come out the other end brimful with new ways of thinking and being in the world.

Katie de Araujo has a way of unravelling the stress, awakening the sensing body, opening hearts while expanding one’s knowledge and perspective.

Katie de Araujo is a body-centered yoga therapist with expertise in embodiment: felt-sense movements that honour the natural movement of the body and the intuitive breath.

She teaches high level concepts of psychology and philosophy in practical, common sense language to equip learners with a sense of mastery and achievement.

In this long weekend retreat (Friday evening to Monday afternoon):

~ you’ll release the subtle armouring and vigilance we often think of as normal or okay. Why? To feel open, new and clearer so that new learning can occur.

~ Feel the effects of your particular nervous system and practice regulation and co-regulation with others

~ expand and then refine your practical knowledge of the mind-body connection from neuroscience, breath science and somatic experiencing.

~ learn essential practices and practice them to a level more masterful than otherwise would be possible (repeat, iterate, build)

~ have a clear framework for sharing your skills with students, clients or significant others in your life

~ be apart of a unified, supportive group (my favourite and most valued element of any retreat 💗) and preserve a  special experience to remember forever.
