Therapist Retreat

Reconnect to Self, Practice and Community

Step out of the therapist role for a restorative, attachment-informed retreat combining thoughtful CPD, embodied experiences and genuine connection.

8–9 July 2027 · The Odney Club, Berkshire · Only 26 places

Attend the full two-day retreat or book either day separately.

This retreat may be for you if…

You give a great deal of yourself through your work

You would like time to think without needing to produce an outcome

You miss being with other therapists face to face

You want CPD that feels engaging, experiential and personally meaningful

You are curious about how your attachment experiences enter the work

You need rest but do not want a retreat that feels disconnected from your professional life

You want connection without forced networking

You would value permission to slow down

You sometimes feel as though you are working in “battery saver mode”

You do not have to be exhausted, burnt out or at breaking point to benefit.

The retreat is also for therapists who are doing well but recognise that replenishment, reflection and professional community should not be reserved for moments of crisis.

Connection through mind, body and professional community

The 2027 retreat has been shaped by what therapists told us they most needed: more space, more embodied experience and more time for meaningful connection.

Mind

Explore how attachment experiences, protective strategies and relational expectations may shape the way you experience yourself, others and the therapeutic relationship.

You may leave with:

  • Greater awareness of your own patterns
  • A richer understanding of your clinical responses
  • New ways to think about the personal within the professional

Body

Step out of constant thinking and reconnect with pace, sensation, movement, rest and presence through gentle, choice-led embodied experiences.

You may leave with:

  • A stronger sense of what grounds you
  • Greater awareness of your nervous system
  • A felt experience of slowing down

Professional community

Spend time with therapists who understand the work, without needing to explain its emotional demands.

You may leave with:

  • New professional connections
  • A sense of belonging
  • People and conversations you continue to draw upon afterwards

Optima Attachment Progression

Day 1


Arrive, settle in, and step into a day designed to restore and inspire. Begin with tea and coffee from 9:00am in beautiful surroundings before we start at 10:00am.

You’ll set your intentions, enjoy a mix of reflective and practical workshops, and connect with other therapists in a warm, supportive environment. Everything is optional, so you can fully join in or take time to rest, reflect, and enjoy the gardens at your own pace.

We’ll round off the day with an informal dinner and relaxed networking.


Day 2


Day 2 is where the retreat settles in. Through experiential learning, restorative practice and thoughtful integration, you’ll have space to reflect more deeply, restore your nervous system, and begin weaving what you have gained back into your work and everyday life.

Start the day slowly with a relaxed breakfast and fresh coffee, taking time to enjoy the surroundings and connect with others before we begin at 9:30am.

Every workshop is optional, giving you the freedom to shape the day in the way that feels most supportive. Join every session or step out to rest, reflect, and enjoy the peaceful gardens and outdoor spaces.

How the retreat supports change

The retreat is designed to create change through a thoughtful balance of depth, reflection and restoration.

  • Teaching that strengthens insight and clinical practice
  • Experiential exercises that bring ideas into embodied awareness
  • Reflective space to help learning land and integrate
  • Supervision-style discussion that supports perspective and meaning-making
  • Somatic practice to support regulation and restoration
  • Time to rest, walk, pause and exhale
  • Community with like-minded peers
  • Moments of lightness, connection and fun

Everything is designed to help you leave feeling steadier, more resourced, and more supported in your work.

Meaningful CPD in a restorative setting

Across the two days, the retreat offers a blend of experiential CPD, reflection, rest, and professional connection.
Rather than overwhelming you with more theory, more slides, or more information to somehow cram into an already full nervous system, this retreat creates space for learning that can actually land.
Stepping away from the therapy chair can help you think more clearly about:

  • the therapeutic relationship
  • attachment dynamics in the room
  • your own internal responses in practice
  • the boundaries and steadiness that support good clinical work

You are free to shape the retreat around your own needs, choosing the balance of learning, reflection and rest that feels most supportive.
