178. The Power of A Shared Healing Experience

If you caught last week’s episode, you’ll have heard my (Filly’s) personal experience of delivering our first retreat - The Body Knows. The personal shifts, insights and breakthroughs I had through the process of creating and leading it.  In this week’s episode, we dive into the true magic of the retreat - the power of a shared and collective healing experience.    In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about How I heard again and again, from the women who attended the retreat, the power of being with others on a shared transformational journey The difference between a curated retreat that intentionally creates a shared healing experiences VS a “nice” retreat that does superficial work The power that occurs when humans gather together in circle, and take off their masks and filters, and share with openness, honesty and safety, breathing, practicing, singing, and moving together What neuroscience tells us about the brain when humans share openly and honestly, in a safe container How the environment impacts a collective healing experience - from the expansive land and sea, to the essential oil scents, to the music being used, to the beautiful things to see, feel and taste What happens when we co-regulate together in a safe, transformational space How humans emit light - and how your light shines brighter when you feel seen and heard without judgement, in your full expression of self Key moments where we witnessed collective healing Words from our Body Whisperers (aka retreat guests) on their experience of a collective and shared healing journey   Show Note Links:   Join Heart Meets Land Retreat - early-bird special disappears 20 Sept!!
