Join us for a restorative day focused on parent and carers’ well-being and connection to our children in an ableist society. It will be a chance to reconnect with yourself and your inner wisdom and be together in community, in the beautiful Wye Valley. Our focus is on valuing our children for who they are and not who they are not or who they ‘should’ be; resisting invitations to be ‘normal’, and taking some time to reflect on the journey we are on. This is a retreat that brings together psychological practice and lived experience. It will have a focus on going deeper into our own needs to develop self-compassion practices.

Approximate schedule for the day:

10am arrive & tea/coffee

10:30 talking circle

12-1pm yoga/breathwork or walk along the River Wye to Biblins path

1-2pm lunch

2-4pm talking circle with cake & coffee
