The Sacred Art Of Relating
 This Bali retreat has been running for the last 3 years


Picture
The retreat will create a bridge of understanding between the practice of yoga, meditation and psychotherapy with an aim of integrating body and mind.  The 6 days are delivered to serve as both personal and professional development.

 The commitment to self care is crucial for those in the helping profession.  We will not only talk about self care and explore themes such as ‘blind compassion’ but also actively experience self nurturing.  This retreat will support you on many levels including renewing your professional practice and support your own journey into intimacy with your own or future partner. 


It is advised you book in one day early to Melati cottages to wind in and take full advantage of the atmosphere.  Melati cottages has been tentatively reserved 1 day before the retreat and a few days after the 12th September.  Feel free to email me to secure your bookings on either side of the retreat.

Relationship work is central to a  psycho-spiritual approach to both therapy and living a full life.   Whether the work is with a client with regard to transference and counter-transference, an intimate partner, with  ones-self, or with society, life demands we relate to others and be shaped by these experiences. 

This retreats will explore the ingredients of relational health from many perspectives including Jewish Psychology, Integral Psychology, Psychoanalysis, John Gottman, Harville Hendrix, Stan Tatkin (PACT), Mask Work, Art, Dance and Body Centred Therapy.  We will also use the SAVE relationships inventory to explore your relationships. 




Professional Development Points

The retreats will provide 25 hours for CPD programs.
This retreat offers a unique experience to break out of routine and gain CPD whilst combining your learning with a holiday, meet likeminded colleagues, and share an adventure.
