THE SENSE RETREAT PROGRAMME
The SENSE Retreat is a truly unique and progressive opportunity. We are combining deep rest and restoration for deeply sensitive people, with active exploration of the subtle yet powerful gifts of sensitivity.
​
Everyone on the retreat, naturally brings with them their own unique expertise - of their lived experience, their curiosity and their personal wisdom. From this standpoint, we collaborate, explore and and play together drawing from this beautiful array of expertise, of giving, receiving and sharing in curated workshops, talks and activities.
Thus, the SENSE Retreat is a holistic, generative experience that supports the emergence of your personal sensory gifts and furthermore, informs the growing frontier of sensitivity research too.

Our programme includes:
Embodied Movement & Play
Readying: Each morning, we’ll begin the day with playful embodied movement, designed to gently awaken the body and mind and align with purpose. Through mindful and nourishing practices, you’ll cultivate presence, grounding, and a deeper connection to yourself - setting the tone for a restorative and enriching day ahead.
Sound Bathing & Mindful Journeys
Healing: Feel the resonance of nature and be guided you through a healing and transformative sound bath with crystal bowls, gong and other ancient spiritual instruments. The sounds will be gentle and soothing and adapted for those of us with sensitive nervous systems. We will take us on adventures in the Imaginal Realm where we meet archetypes and companions, offering wisdom and direction.
Creative & Intuitive Workshops
Developing: During the retreat you are encouraged to engage in a series of workshops to embrace creative, self-expression, intuition and more. You will grow in self-confidence by allowing your inner world to be rendered on paper as self-knowledge is reflected back to you. You will be invited to explore and play real extra-sensory and mind-matter interaction games with both ancient and cutting-edge technologies to stimulate your subtle psychic abilities.
Frontier Knowledge Exchange
Knowing: Expert guest authors, practitioners and researchers on sensitivity and related topics, will share incredible insights through interactive talks and workshops which will fuel your knowledge and enrich your curiosity as you discover, embrace and empower those innate gifts, those deep SENSE capacities.
Stargazing & Fireside Songs
Sharing: We will spent evenings gathered around the fire, stargazing and storytelling as we embrace what we love the most as sensitive people; deep, intimate conversations, songs, stories and deep connection with our innate soul nature in the community of other like minded people.
Music, Art and History
Inspiring: We will be offering retreatees the chance to explore curated art and music - and the history of the opulent Broughton Hall - to enjoy and spark conversation. Explore meaning-making and implications for sensitive people and how we can use our self-expression to step forward in our roles as nature's sages and mages.
A little... Sensitive Magic
Empowering: We will offer a specially designed guided awareness technique to firstly ground and balance, so that we can then allow ourselves to safely and effectively expand our states of consciousness and explore liminality. It is here we begin to tap into our innate magic of extra-sensory perception and manifestation. This is the essence of the SENSE Retreat: we will be 'sensing the future' together, as we sense into what is and can become, and weave personal and collective intention, attention and influence for a world of beauty, truth and flourishing.
