It’s invaluable. Don’t think about it too much, just make space and go. Be open and honest every step of the way. Expect the unexpected. You will thank yourself forever.ive yet well planned. She is so knowledgeable, sensitive, kind and funny and I felt incredibly safe in her care.

I found Paula’s facilitation incredibly skilled, Gentle yet so professional, intuit I felt incredibly at ease and safe with Paula – she is very intentional in her approach from start to finish, yet she very gently opens space for each step to naturally develop in the process, all the while holding the group throughout. What impressed me further was her instinctual knack at knowing exactly where, when and how to pause, long enough to do the work, and then allowing for flow once more.

Not a day has passed since that something deeper or or more profound hasn’t arisen from our session and the learnings be they big or small, are just becoming more and more expansive.
Thank you, thank you, thank you…I came is very fearful with a sense of not belonging and very soon felt joyful and that I belonged.

The whole journey started once the commitment to come was made. The travel time part of that commitment to self, and then the exhale upon arriving in such a beautiful place. The warmth, the care, the love for all that is happening at The Rest. I would do it again in a heartbeat

The journey itself formed an important part of the work.. the challenges to get there and then being so isolated and cut off. Felt good. Not sure I could have achieved so much any closer to home.
The road trip turned out to be a great start and end to the weekend. I loved the scenery.

The retreat was a wonderful opportunity to rest, reflect and play. I loved the jamming session round the fire and the shared meals. I think there was a good balance between activity and rest.

I really enjoyed & appreciated it. I haven’t allowed myself in my adult life just to experiment and play with so many mediums. Pushed a lot of my own creative boundaries, amazing to be allowed the space to unconsciously/consciously play – what joy it brought. also so great to use it to push through the pain & just release.
DO IT. Dont think about it just go…..

The entire experience was sublime. I found the sessions to be incredibly enriching, challenging and supportive. The farm, accommodation and meals were fabulous.

It is a gift and an adventure to have time in a beautiful space with Paula who has immense wisdom, experience and compassion. Take her hand and play!

My expectations were met in every way. From the accommodation, the meals, community and sisterhood, and Paula’s wise guidance. Just incredible. Oh and the site itself. The location is stunning.

My nervous system went into rest/digest/relax as soon as we went through the gates. It’s amazing how much of a difference being in a peaceful place facilitates healing. Its beautiful, it’s alive, it’s fun, it’s growing, it’s an adventure.

Going to The Rest offers you a profound opportunity for contemplating and finding resonances with your life, for making shifts or appreciating your life as it is. You leave ready to step more fully into yourself and your life.

If you have any reservations, just do it. Being so far from city civilisation in a natural environment, to be so well looked after, with only yourself to worry about and without needing to attend to your own practical needs, is a huge gift. It creates space to immerse yourself in your own processes, and gives you the privilege of witnessing and supporting others in their process.

Your heart will soften, open and grow.
The spaces between the sessions offered special time to spend with other participants to process, or share experiences, almost in a respectful continuation of the space being held during the sessions. It was also easy to step out of that communal space and go for a walk on the farm, or retreat to your bed.
My expectations were exceeded, not met.

I never anticipated the constellating processes to give so much emotional insight. It’s one thing gaining intellectual or cognitive insight into one’s issues, but very difficult to get such instant and deep emotional revelations in therapy. Incredible and magical.
