Discover your Inner Potential – A Journey To Finding Your True Voice And Feeling Empowered And Connected With Your Authentic Self.
Tuesday 1st November – Friday 4th November 2022
“I think 99 times and I find nothing; I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me”
Albert Einstein
This unique and uplifting retreat is designed to help you reset, rediscover your confidence, explore your passions and come home to your inner fire. Embracing the life-enhancing benefits of breathwork, outdoor, wild swimming, Scandinavian sauna, spending time in nature, this retreat brings people together in a safe and inspiring space. A space designed to provide an opportunity to take a moment, step back and explore our horizons together. Guests leave with a pep in their step, feeling lighter and more empowered, with a new confidence that they can live the life they desire.
Using powerful techniques in leading-edge breathwork, mindset training, coaching, voice work, nature immersion and wild swimming, we craft tried and tested experiences for the mind, body and heart. It’s an opportunity to arrive with challenges and seemingly unattainable goals and leave with a sense of purpose and trust in your ability to move forward and make both big and small changes.
Living the juggle is real, low-anxiety is the norm, bowing to pressure from society and ourselves to be and do so much. We juggle work, businesses, children, family, friends, and all the ‘shoulds, ‘coulds’ and obligations that we say yes to even when sometimes we mean no. Since lockdown, people have been re-evaluating their work and lives. For some, there was an opportunity to slow down and be more present and change their lifestyles, and for others, careers and businesses felt unstable and uncertain.
As human beings, we are resilient to ever-evolving change, and we have all had to adapt in many ways these last two years. Many people have shared a deep yearning to live life in another way and with a sense of purpose, but navigating this and making it into reality can feel unreachable. The common theme is working long hours and living a fast life; multitasking our way through the day is all too familiar. As the hamster wheel turns, and as we take on more and more, we take less time for ourselves, until one day we realise we’ve lost touch with who we are, and time has passed by. The noise gets louder, our mind sabotages our dreams, and as it does, our inner spark burns less bright, and our inner voice gets quieter. We feel stuck, like Groundhog Day, less connected to our bodies and hearts as we try to ‘think’ rather than feel ourselves back to who we are.
All is not lost. Our confidence, essence, and true expression are much closer to the surface than we think. All we need is some space and silence and expert guides to help us move obstacles and find ourselves again.

Accommodation and venue
All the rooms are designed with luxurious charm and deep sleep in mind. Roll tops baths and large beds in the Coach Houses guarantee a good night’s sleep and power showers ensure a perfect start to your day. Shared accommodation is available in the Stable Rooms and these light and airy rooms are decorated in their individual way using antique furniture and 18th-century pictures salvaged from the original Wasing House. The Dovecot and Granary have knock-out character, taking their cue from the history of the area, you will never want to leave.
All the sessions take place in a light and airy room set amongst a walled garden. The floor to ceiling windows, are flung open on sunny days to let the morning fresh air in. In late afternoon, evening and winter sessions, the room is heated to ensure the deepest relaxation. The wild swims will take place at one of the natural lakes with a Scandinavian sauna for the ultimate reset.
Wasing Park is nestled in the Narnia style Woodlands with 3 stunning lakes to wander around or dip in for wild swims. The winding paths make for a magical jaunt and the perfect chance for you fully reconnect with Nature. There is also a marvellous secret walled garden near the accommodation, which you can potter around or simply sit quietly on one of the garden benches and look at all the wonderful flowers that will be blooming at this time of year.
Every corner you turn here at Wasing will connect you either with ancient trees, wildlife or newly blooming flowers and everything in between.

Introductions To Your Guides:
Rebecca Dennis
‘One of UK’s leading Breath Coach & international author of ‘And Breathe’, ‘Breathe – A Practical Guide to Breathwork’ and ‘Let It Go’.
Rebecca has over 20 years of experience in alternative and holistic healing methods and shared breathwork with thousands of people around the globe from corporations such as Google, Sky, BBC to schools and army veterans. She has trained with many worldwide masters and experts in breathwork and healing modalities and helps alleviate issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep deprivation, and energy loss. She sees fast and transformative results within a short period of time and encourages clients to understand and empower themselves with their own innate, natural healing powers working simply with the breath.
Breathing is the only system in the body that is both automatic and also under our control. That is not an accident of nature – it is by design and when used consciously is the key to reaching optimal health and performance. Rebecca’s own experiences with breathwork have completely shifted and elevated her own life and beliefs. She understands the potential of our breath and how we can recharge and reset our nervous system and physiology and release trauma held in the body.
Rebecca Hull
I’m Rebecca, a Business Leader, coach, mentor and single parent.
And I’m no stranger to the juggle. Working full-time whilst also solo-parenting my two daughters for 17 years, I have looked survival hard in the face. And not liking what I saw, I have chosen to explore ways of looking and dealing with life that favour thriving instead.
Getting to this point has taken work, in all its guises, both in my career and personal life. I have over 25 years of experience leading organisations in commercial and not-for-profit sectors through ambitious transformational change programmes. And I have the scars to show for it.
The pursuit of purpose has been a thread that has connected my career, and today, I’m MD of a multi-million pound leading digital agency delivering a mission of helping our clients create positive change in the world. A job that I love. I am not a businesswoman in the stereotypical sense; you won’t find me in heels, throwing my weight around in the boardroom; instead, quiet, reflective, people-centred leadership is much more my style. I’ve learnt that to be successful and fully in my power at work is only possible if I am fully myself, and I don’t compromise on this approach.
Work is essential to living, and I do love a business challenge; so much that I support young entrepreneurs in setting up their businesses. But my true passion lies with people since people lie at the heart of everything. These days, drawing on my years of battle wounds and graft, I also work as a coach and mentor to help individuals, especially women, gently explore their full potential at any stage in their lives. I walk alongside them to help them understand where they are in their lives and where they want to be, working together to identify ways of living and working that favour a life of thriving over surviving.
Deborah Thomas – Voice Coach
I have over 18 years’ experience as a public speaking coach and presentation skills trainer. My career began in London in 2004 under the mentorship of renowned Ted Talk Speaker, Caroline McHugh. I established my journey as her apprentice in the company ID-OLOGY, before moving to New York in 2007. During that first decade, I honed the skills, tools and techniques which launched my career as a respected coach in the corporate sector.
In 2009, I relocated back to my native Wales. I continue to base myself from Cardiff where I am raising my daughter and running my business – Public Speaking Solutions.
My vocational mission has been to enable all of my clients to find their true voice at work. I facilitate the personal journey of each individual who seeks to become a more present and powerful speaker. Together we will work to align the voice, the body and content as seamlessly as possible, for our listener’s benefit. I encourage each client to meet their maximum and work through their resistances, so that they evolve as a speaker that is fully seen, heard and remembered for all the right reasons.
