PRACTITIONER ALCHEMY
1-1 RETREAT
“It felt like a hug for my soul, nourishment for my body, and an expansion for my consciousness”
From the moment I pick you up from the train station or meet you in your car at the gate, you are held in a warm, loving, deep, and magical container with the world and your worries behind you.
As you enter the grounds and discover this country house wonderland and all the attentive touches and care I have put into your retreat, you will feel the whole-hearted invitation and rich possibility to deeply and safely let go…
You can breathe deeper, you can feel your cups filling up, you can hear and feel yourself more clearly.
And with that extra resource and holding you can explore new depths, you can discover new horizons, you can open to new possibilities…
The depths of my soul will be open to you, and the divine twinkle in my eye will invite yours to the dance, should it choose.
My dark side will be smiling and alive as an integrated part of me, held in love but also giving your shadows a comfortable space to expand and express, if so they choose.
This is a space where you can open into not only new ways of thinking, but new ways of seeing and being.
Where you can not only gain clarity on what was blurry, but where you can discover parts of your mind, heart or spirit you didn’t even know were there...
Practitioner Alchemy retreats are in-person deep-dive experiences, held at Showborough House, Gloucestershire.
Offered as a retreat with an overnight stay and a 10am-4pm deep-dive the next day (£650), and also available as a one-day immersive session (£500).
There are two retreats or day sessions available a month. Usually Fridays (arriving Thursday 6pm-7pm if staying overnight). Please feel free to be in touch if you'd like to attend but need another day of the week to make it work for you.

PRACTITIONER ALCHEMY RETREATS ARE FOR YOU IF...
• You’re on a mission to discover or expand something, be it yourself, your magic, an aspect of your work …. or a blend of all three.
• You've been working and holding space for clients and are ready to be held and re-stock your well
• You love the idea of getting offline and out of your life for a fresh perspective.
• You want the option of working out of the box in new, creative, pattern-disrupting, inspiring ways.
• You want a space where you can be all of yourself… serious to silly, light to dark, sacred to profane, stuck to inspired as f*ck.
• You feel called to work at a deep, intimate, heart & soul-connecting level. Sharing, exploring, celebrating and expanding all of who you are, and probably having a lot of fun in the process.
A SELF-DISCOVERY PLAYGROUND FOR MIND, BODY & SPIRIT
Led by our instincts, curiosities and intuitions, we work bespokely with whatever you’re bringing.
There’s no set process but a playground of possibilities for you to go and flow wherever you’re drawn as we explore your questions and quest.
From conversations in any of the available spaces that inspire you, to using archetype cards, to painting feelings, to breaking into song, to letting ideas rip on satisfyingly giant post-its, to taking inspiration from nature and the stunning gardens...
... it's a free-roam self-discovery playground for mind, body, and spirit.
(see video below).
All expertly and exquisitely held so you can go deeply into yourself and leave with whatever you came for... answers, insights, transformation…
and more ... of you.

PRACTITIONER
PIT-STOP
A Supervision MOT for you & your mission
NEXT LEVEL
Expand your thinking, vision, energy, depth, and discover your next horizon
REST, REFLECT,
& RECONNECT
Breathe, reflect, and come home to yourself
MAGICAL IMMERSION
'Magic sessions' (energy work) with time and space for coaching & supervision support, and just 'being'
THE OVERNIGHT VERSION
Arrive the evening before, and start to unwind and be held in the warm welcoming arms of the house, grounds, and your own space lovingly prepared by me.
Showborough House was made for B&B, and there's plenty of room. As a guest you'd have your own room with ensuite, and your own lounge & breakfast room with stunning views, fireplace, TV, books, mini kitchen - the works!
By foot, there's nothing much nearby other than horses, sheep, and llamas (yes!), but the grounds themselves are a 7-acre wonderland. And you have the most important ingredient of all, yourself, and time and space to start to reflect and settle in for your session the next day.

SHOWBOROUGH HOUSE SCULPTURE GARDENS
Practitioner Alchemy Retreats are held at Showborough House Sculpture Gardens, where I'm lucky enough to live. May and June the gardens are open to the public and filled with over 200 sculptures from nearly 100 artists. The rest of the year the gardens are still structurally stunning with much to explore and marvel at. Inside the house amazing spaces both massive and cosy await...
A great place to be inspired all year round.
(There is noise from nearby roads at varying volumes depending on the wind, not audible in the pictures lol. Most are so struck by the visuals and vibe they don't notice or care).

Video testimonials below
"It was so enriching for so many reasons...
It was a chance to step back and step out of everyday life… a chance to really reset personally, to reflect, review, recharge, revitalise…
Todd created an energy space felt safe and very inviting and helped me tune in and connect to myself and listen to the messages, thoughts, ideas and reflections within me that I hadn’t yet heard or acknowledged.
During the day we had music, we had poetry, we had colours, crafts, all sorts of really interesting tools which as whole really bathed my soul in a way that was very lifting.
I think sometimes we don't realise the type of restoration that we need until we've gotten it. I almost struggle to find the words to be fair about just how restorative the day was.
It was really quite unlike anything I'd experienced before.
It’s really quite special and I think we all deserve a bit of that special connected nourishing magical time especially after the last couple of years that we've had. Highly recommended".
