This is more than a retreat, it is an Unwinding...
This is not about becoming someone new… it is a remembering of what was always true
16–18 October 2026
Our vision for The Unwinding is to offer an intentional process that begins before you arrive and continues to hold you as you return home. We believe that what is just as important as the weekend itself is the support before, during, and afterwards. Without integration, even the most meaningful experience can quickly fade. We want to offer something deeper — a space where what unwinds can be gently supported and lived beyond the retreat itself. For those who are so often the ones holding others, this is also a space to be held.
Before the retreat, you will be welcomed into a gentle online space, along with downloadable audio meditations to support your arrival in your own time. After the weekend, we will come together again for an integration call, with space to reflect, settle, and begin carrying the experience forward.
This is more than time away from the demands of everyday life.
It is a space to listen more deeply to your body and reconnect with your own knowing.
Held in Nature
Our home for the weekend is Lochwood House, Loch Goil, Scotland — a beautiful, spacious setting surrounded by water, woodland, and stillness.
Here, nature is not simply a backdrop, but part of what shapes the experience with us.
Woodland walks and wide open space
Nourishing meals
Wild swimming in the loch
An outdoor sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge (with a two-hour session included)
Quiet corners for rest and reflection
A bespoke ceremonial space for cacao and shared circles
There is something deeply restorative about this land, offering both stillness and space to breathe again. Within this setting, each Unwinding is shaped by the women who gather, and each one carries its own rhythm.
Across the three days, you are invited into:
A heart-opening cacao ceremony
Gentle somatic and mindbody practices
Deep rest and nervous system support
Guided creative practice and sharing circles
Voice-led sound bath
innerdance — a powerful yet gentle journey into the subconscious,
Spacious time for rest, integration, nature, and simply being
There comes a moment when pushing, striving, and holding it all together no longer feels like the way. The Unwinding is an invitation to pause, to be held and to soften what has been braced for too long. There is no pressure to perform, to share more than feels right, or to do anything a certain way. You are welcome exactly as you are.
The Experience
Over three days, we will guide you through a deeply held and nourishing journey, gently supporting you to:
Release stored tension, stress, and emotional weight
Reconnect with your body and its quiet intelligence
Unravel old patterns and protective stories
Restore your nervous system through rest, nature, and connection
Open to a deeper sense of trust, intuition, and inner knowing
Our approach draws on decades of experience in counselling, somatic movement therapy, physiotherapy, and mindbody coaching, creating a space that is both grounded and intuitive. This is not about fixing you. It is about creating the conditions for you to meet yourself more honestly, gently, and deeply.
Who This Is For
This experience is for women who:
- Hold space for others and feel ready to be held themselves
- Long to slow down and reconnect with their body
- Feel the quiet call for something deeper, softer, more true
- Are ready to release what they’ve been carrying — even if they don’t yet have the words for it
Your Guides
You will be held by two experienced, heart-led practitioners, bringing over 60 years of combined experience.
Lynne Sutherland — Mindbody Coach and Physiotherapist
Caroline Georgiou — Counsellor, Somatic Practitioner & Sound Therapist (The Sound of Dreams)
Together, we hold a space that is both steady and gently transformative, drawing on science, somatic awareness, and intuitive understanding.
This is a space where your body is listened to, your experience is honoured, and nothing needs to be forced.

A Closing Invitation
If something in you is quietly saying yes, even if you cannot quite name it, trust that.
This is your invitation to soften, to be held, and to meet yourself differently.
