Going Deeper: A Retreat for Helpers (and Seekers)

Going Deeper: A Retreat for Helpers (and Seekers) – Byron Shire (4-8 March 2027)

with Naomi & Doug Moseley (Canada) and Vincent de Klerk (The Netherlands)
 
Why this retreat?

The best way to deepen our work as Helpers, leaders, and seekers, and to move forward in life ourselves, is to better know who we are. This retreat is designed for those who are ready to go deeper into themselves, their relationships, and their contribution to the world.

Insight and experience

Many of us begin our journeys with insight-based approaches: understanding the origins and patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Insight is vital, yet it primarily engages the mind, and eventually we reach the limits of what insight alone can transform.

This retreat moves beyond insight into experiential work. Instead of only talking about an issue, we enter direct, in-the-moment emotional and body-oriented experiences. These moments allow us to touch the deeper roots that are driving our patterns. Emphasis will be on truth, feelings, integration, and growth.

We also believe that true inner movement comes from engaging with our shadow selves and nurturing the emotionally under-developed parts within us. At first this may feel daunting, but often fear gives way to relief, then excitement, and finally a sense of freedom.

The added dimension of systemic constellation work

Alongside Doug and Naomi’s long-standing expertise in experiential, shadow, and relational work, this retreat integrates systemic constellation work with Vincent de Klerk.

Constellation work is a science-backed, experiential method that combines thinking with sensing and feeling. Participants position peers in the physical space as parts of the system connected to their challenges. This creates a living map of the systems we belong to: family, community, organizations, and even the larger whole of life.

Constellations make the unseen dynamics visible and tangible. This enables participants to:

• Experience and understand interconnections: sense the relationships within the complexity of the system.
• Reveal breakthrough insights: uncover solutions often hidden in traditional approaches.
• Bridge the knowing–doing gap: embody new ways of behaving and leading within complex systems.

By combining the Moseleys’ deep experiential work with systemic constellation practices, this retreat allows Helpers, leaders, and seekers to see, feel, and shift at multiple levels: personal, relational, professional, and systemic.

Who is this for?
  • Helpers who wish to refresh and deepen their inner work
  • Leaders who want to explore deeper patterns of influence, responsibility, and freedom
  • Seekers who are ready to go further on their path of wholeness
