Reclaiming Authentic You, Overcoming Family Entanglements and Dysfunction Retreat Part of Healing the Motherline Theme
The Significance of the Family Bond
Our relationship with our families is one of the most profound connections we experience. It shapes how we perceive our bodies, our capabilities, and our place in the world. Childhood wounds and abandonments can be inherited pain passed down through generations, and is a key part of this dynamic. Reclaiming our authentic power isn't about fixing our families or childhood histories; it's about embracing ourselves and our unique gifts without shame.
This disconnect we feel as a result of trauma growing up or dysfunction in our families can affect many aspects of our lives: Our self-image and body confidence. Our relationships and friendships with others and at work. Our fears of being seen or judged. Our tendencies towards codependency or enmeshment. Our ability to trust others and life itself. Our experiences of abandonment or attachment. Our beliefs about money and abundance. Our capacity for healthy, loving romantic relationships.
The Power of Collective Healing
Healing is a transformative journey, where acknowledging our wounds our inner child and our inner critics allows us to see ourselves as human and fallible. This process enables you to rewrite old narratives, cultivate self-trust, recognize your intrinsic worth, and shine brightly.
When we come together to share our experiences, it becomes clear that our struggles are not unique. This shared understanding helps to dissolve layers of shame and fosters a powerful community healing environment.
We provide a safe, sacred space throughout our time together on the retreat, for you to transform from pain into a wellspring of wisdom.

MEET YOUR HOST
Hi, I'm Vanessa.
After years of active and chronic addiction I came into recovery in 2001 to be confronted with a whole heap of self esteem work I needed to do.
I was terrified of judgement and was a chronic people pleaser. I had no boundaries in my life with others or with myself. There were abandonment issues from my childhood which I needed to work through. My life was limited as a result and I felt frustrated at my inability to find authentic meaning in my life.
Following a life transition into running my own business in 2017 (the business of my dreams) I ventured onto a spiritual path which took me to Australia to a retreat last year. There I connected with some of my lineage. I had always been curious about my grandmother who was an alcoholic. Was that where I got it from?
My journey since then has involved a deeper level of healing and discovery and I am so excited to share this with others to help them 'Heal their ancestral lines' and release what has been passed down to us in dysfunction and mental struggles due to the trauma and shame.
