Welcome to Your Playground

This is not therapy, although it will be therapeutic. We will all come with our own strengths and difficulties and take from this time what it is we need.
Modalities include:
-
Inner-child work
-
Combined creative arts (movement, art and written word)
-
Connections to nature
-
Embodiment (breath and bodywork to ground into your body)
-
Play
-
Mindfulness
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
-
Compassion focused therapy
-
Narrative Therapy
-
Psychoeducation
-
Trauma informed practice
In addition to the on-site modalities and daily wellness program like yoga, meditation and massage, we will enjoy so much more throughout the week. This includes excursions to historical sights, to the beach and enjoying ‘farm to plate’ on the allotment and with an Albanian cooking class. There will still be plenty of time for relaxing and journaling, swimming in the eco pool or going on an adventurous hike!
