Family Constellation is a therapeutic approach developed by Bert Hellinger that examines family relationships and dynamics. It recognises that many of our personal struggles, emotional challenges, and relationship issues can be linked to patterns inherited from our ancestors. By bringing these patterns to light, Family Constellation work allows for healing and transformation, leading to a healthier and more harmonious life.

Guided Water-Only Fasting Retreats
Nature. Nurture. Reset.
Our Water-Only Fasting Retreats offer the perfect setting for deep rest, reflection and renewal. We provide a safe and supportive space to step away from the noise of daily life and allow the body’s natural intelligence to restore balance and vitality.
Each retreat combines the therapeutic power of water-only fasting with nurturing care, daily bodywork, gentle movement and breathwork, and the healing influence of nature. This is a time to recalibrate body, mind and spirit - a true reset supported by nature and guided with care.
