About this event

What you can expect:
- Learn about Body Shame & Society: Understand where body shame comes from and how it affects us, according to the Neuroaffective Relationship Model (NARM).
- Shared Wisdom: Through group and partner discussions, learn and relate to other women, both hearing and sharing your own stories which explore entrenched beliefs and social constraints of the mind and body.
- Body Awareness: Reconnect with your body through mindful movement sessions, guided meditations, self-touch and dancing.
- Self-Compassion Practices: Learn to respond to negative self-talk with kindness, and understanding, using physiological knowledge about the miracles of our body, fostering a more positive body image.

The log burning stove, oak floor, and turf roof, providing a unique and lovely space for learning, while also keeping you warm in the Scottish Autumn.

Meet your facilitators:
More about Hannah:
I have been working with communication, emotions, relationships, and group dynamics, always keeping the body as an important component in these areas. This interest, which I’ve had from a very young age, is naturally connected to my own personal history. I’m grateful that the hurdles I’ve overcome can now have a positive impact on others.
More about Rose:
Having grown up in eco-communities around the world, I know how to create a smooth, enjoyable retreat experience where everyone is well-fed and supported.
With an academic background in Medical Science and Psychology, I’m continously in awe of the incredible functions of our bodies and minds. We are walking miracles.
As a mother who’s experienced pregnancy loss and fertility struggles, I understand the complex emotions and self-criticism many women face when battling shame. I’m dedicated to helping us celebrate our bodies‘ innate beauty, strength, and wisdom.
What makes our workshop unique:
We believe everyone deserves to feel at home in their body. But let’s be honest – sometimes, just repeating „I love myself“ in the mirror doesn’t cut it. That’s where we come in.
Our approach digs a little deeper. We believe lasting body love requires understanding the roots of body negativity.
We’re both trauma-informed facilitators, here to guide you with an approach that is gentle, patient and consensual.
