Retreat in West Wales, UK
July 19th - 27th 2025
Our Radical Ecology Retreat is a unique opportunity for you to embody the richness of your human nature: social, biological, and spiritual.
Radical Ecology is embodiment of Wholeness: the wholeness of your nature, the wholeness of life, the wholeness of existence. It is the experience and perspective that emerges from deep somatic intimacy. Within this embodiment your spiritual, biological and social natures support and express each other naturally. This retreat will provide you with a deep experience of the wholeness that you most deeply are. It will also provide you with the tools to embody it fully in your daily life. This embodiment will allow you to be authentically more compassionate, generous and supportive, while feeling more safe, abundant and supported.
This embodiment takes place by way of the three frequencies of Somatic Resilience Training. While Somatic Retuning is a response to your bio-mechanical vulnerability, Somatic Intuning is an opportunity to access your Spiritual Invulnerability, and Somatic Attunement provides you with the opportunity to satisfy and embody your spiritual, biological and social nature, within your need for deep connection.
Somatic Retuning uses soft, rhythmic movement, and sustained accessible stillness to recalibrate your body. This recalibration establishes neuromuscular Pathways of Wholeness in the whole of your body, allowing you to move more freely and easily. Because of the binary nature of the sensory-motor nervous system, this comprehensive recalibration simultaneously changes the way that you move and what you can perceive. As your movements, on and off the mat, become more effortless and fluid, your perception becomes more clear and subtle. Your Pathways of wholeness will be deepened by way of Somatic Intuning. This takes place in sustained stillness, both lying and sitting. You will be invited deep into your ability to feel so that the fortifying subtleties of your own Presence and Nature become more available. Within this mind becomes more quiet in the moment, while in the long run lets go, more and more, of its need to know and control into the wisdom of your body and of Consciousness. Finally Somatic Attunement allows your Pathways of Wholeness to become embodied in the mirroring Presence of others, including wind and tree, cloud and sunlight.
Resilience Training is an experiential journey requiring dedication, commitment and independent practice. Nobody can do it for you, although you can be given the tools and shown the way. To access and feel the Invulnerability of your Spiritual Nature is not so difficult. To embody it into your daily experience is another matter. This depends upon your deepening and stabilising your own Pathways of Wholeness through ongoing practice. For this to be possible you need not only to be willing to fully embrace your shadows and thorns, but also to let go of looking for external validation. You must become your own light and your own haven, taking responsibility for your own journey, your own experience.
Overlooking the Ocean in West Wales we will spend eight days together explorin the delights and possibilities of being human. While you are free to spend time alone in nature should you wish, we encourage you to participate as much as possible in our community of like minded beings. Radical Ecology is an experiential journey of embodiment, within which you can feel more & more at home in the world and in nature, and more in harmony with other beings. It is an invitation to enrich your life by giving rather than getting, sharing rather than accumulating, supporting rather than exploiting. This invitation is extended by experiencing deeply the richness of your own Presence, not least in the mirror of others and Nature.

What our days will include:
Every morning will begin with an optional meditation, indoors or out, depending on the weather. This will be followed by a Resilience Training session in the Roundhouse, led by Godfrey. Beginning with the rhythmic movements of Somatic Retuning to open Neuromuscular Pathways of Wholeness, they will flow through Tuning In Somatically to your own Presence, to Attuning Somatically with the Wholeness, by way of the rich presence of 'the other', including nature. This is a timeless journey from your body, via the Intelligent Presence of Consciousness, into the vibrant generosity of Nature. It will be followed by a delicious vegan brunch prepared by seasoned Windfire cooks.
Every afternoon you will have time to enjoy the natural ambience of Trewcan, including a beautiful, spring-fed bathing pond and traditional sauna, and even make a trek to one of two beaches 20 minutes away. Before dinner there will be a Somatic Intimacy session led by Olivia, beginning, usually, with more Somatic Retuning and Intuning. Then you can stabilise your Pathways of Wholeness with Somatic Attunement, within which you will explore the power of Somatic Communication, Boundary Tracking, Deep Listening and more. After a second vegan feast, every evening there will be a gathering in the Roundhouse to celebrate together in different ways the gift of Being Human.
