Walk In – Dance Out Soulhub Retreat

Polzeath, Cornwall

Friday 29 Sept – Monday 2 Oct 2023 (and longer if you want!)

Are you looking for more peace, joy and full-bodied presence?

Self care is never a luxury…it’s a vital response-ability to yourself and others survival. For if you are not well, you are of little or no benefit to others. Yet as a species we are fast forgetting how to practice genuine self care and inter-being.

This dance of life is becoming increasingly more complex, distracting and overwhelming as the “dance floor” becomes more crowded and dynamic. We are struggling to find connection, presence and peace with ourselves, others.

It doesn’t need to be this way.

There are other ways of being and moving that are more peaceful and simple, that allow you to walk and dance with more harmony and depth and vitality. Allowing you to find the ease within the effort, the joy within the journey.

Let us show you some simple and easy ways of grounding and finding deeper levels of full bodied presence and peace. Where there is no need for addictive or numbing habits but where true joy and love can bubble to the surface.

So why not come away for some sole to soul nourishment with Soulhub and experience a different way of being.

We have curated a wonderful set of activities which you can pick and choose from. Whether you want to be with others, or on your own, walking along the coastal paths, sitting around the fire, staring at the sea, writing, meditating, stretching, dancing or just enjoying some stillness with nothing to do, no one to be, nothing to solve, nowhere to go..just going with the flow.

YOUR HOSTS 

Carmen Rendell & Andrew Cuerden (In Polzeath earlier this year)

I’m Carmen, Founder of Soulhub, and an integrative therapist, known as the “Soulwalker“, doing my soul work whilst walking with clients in nature. I thrive off creating deep soulful connections with others, and if you want to know more about who I am, how I work and what else I’m up to, you can find out more here on my separate website.

Andrew, co-creator of Soulhub, is a metaphysical dance and life coach. Intuitively integrating psychosomatics, yoga, breath, meditation, music & Universal Laws to facilitate safe spaces for deep self reflection, expression and healing. He holds transformative space for people with his strong yet gentle, caring and patient energy. You can find out more about Andrew here.

Highcliffe, Polzeath

Set in North Cornwall, Highcliffe is found in one of the most beautiful settings in the country. Polzeath is, in summer, surfer’s and tourists paradise, but out of season the area is sedate and the wild Cornish shores offer wondrous natural beauty and quaint fishing villages to explore on foot.

Twin Room

For a number of years now Andrew & I have both been roaming the British Isles looking for retreat venues. When we came across Highcliffe via friends of Andrew’s, we felt we had to come back and bring people with us.

YOUR TIME WITH US

We are very aware that it can take a little while to unplug or unwind and drop into a state of relaxation. Hence we have opted for a flexible retreat option commencing with an initial 3 day group offering, followed by a further 2 day deep dive option for guests who wish to explore and nourish themselves more deeply.

We appreciate that everyone is unique and so aim to provide inspiration and safe space for you to explore, express and find your own path to wellbeing, in your own time. Hence encouraging all our guests to feel into what they need in the moment, feeling empowered and inspired to create your own retreat within the space and time offered.

Many of you will want quiet time and space. Others may need deep connection with others to be seen and heard. We will do our best to facilitate that balance, so you can opt in, or out, and leave feeling revitalised, seen and expressed.

You will have the opportunity to move your body, through soulwalking, metaphysical dance, yoga and wild swimming. Sit quietly with us, or on your own. And be compassionately witnessed and supported by us and others.
