The Mother Solution Retreat

At this retreat, we work with family systems in a supportive group setting to uncover hidden patterns that may be shaping your relationships, health, and life direction. Through guided experiential groups, you can explore family dynamics, and release unconscious barriers. All sessions are safely facilitated by a trauma informed psychotherapist. We provide a grounded, respectful, safe space for insight, connection, and deep personal change.

Learn how to place healthy and constructive boundaries in your life emotionally, physically, conversationally and in your relationships.
Understand the impact of co-dependency in your life and how this has impacted you, gain key skills to remove the emotional cords that cause distress in your life and ‘let go’ or find a way to free yourself from dysfunctional people that cause you pain and distress.
Address how people pleasing prevents placing boundaries. Explore and remove behaviour patterns that may have been handed down from past generations that are not serving you any more.

Throughout the retreat our EFT practitioner Tamara holds space and provides EFT exercises to discharge, release and ground as we move through the topics of the retreat.

Throughout the retreats we provide group guided meditations to support your journey. Guided meditation enables a deeper connection with yourself and your healing journey aiding transformation and change otherwise missed through talking therapies and workshops learning. Topics of the guided meditations include inner child, letting go, ancestral healing and empowerment.

Reconnect with the playful, tender parts of yourself through our inner child workshops and creative healing activities. During the retreat, we gently explore how early experiences shape our emotions and relationships, offering tools to nurture and support the parts of you that were once unheard. Through guided practices, group sharing, and joyful expression, you’ll begin to release old patterns, build self-compassion, and rediscover your natural lightness. These sessions invite deep emotional healing, greater self-understanding, and a sense of inner peace and wholeness.

A benefit of a retreat is the opportunity to connect with likeminded people. By sharing with others you can heal feelings of isolation and loneliness and come away with a sense of being heard and knowing that you are not alone.
Group sessions are facilitated by Vanessa Wallace and her team bringing a family feel to the whole retreat and safety to share and be open about your feelings.
You are not asked to share more than you feel comfortably able to and there is an opportunity for 1-1 session if you prefer to not share in a group.

You will be guided through the whole experience of your attachment style enabling you to understand the roots of the difficulties in your relationships but also to provide you with essential tools going forward to feel more self assured, in control and self affirming in your relationships with others. You will learn how to recognise and manage triggers and feel free to live happier and more connected in the world.

Through therapeutic creative activities we dive into our subconscious. Where we can discover, have fun, explore our intentions and connect with our intuition. Play is an important part of our being as humans. This session can be very playful but also meaningful and insightful.
