Healing our attachments through rest and play: creative and spiritual renewal.

For many years now the importance of attachment has featured in the psychological literature and now in everyday life. As our attachments become healthier, it leads to greater thriving in our lives.

This day retreat will focus on healing our attachments, to others, to ourselves and to God (spirituality), through some core principles of rest (both physical but more importantly, psychological rest) and play. We will examine what healthy attachment to self, others and God looks like. We will explore how play, which Dr Gordon Neufeld (Neufeld Institute - Neufeld Institute) calls ‘activated rest’ and creativity are natural ‘circuit resets’ for our nervous system, taking us beyond just surviving, to thriving. This day retreat will have experiential components, with time for deep reflection as well as experimenting with play/creativity.

Morning tea and lunch is included in the price.
