RETREAT
Reconnect with
Your Embodied Feminine Wisdom

It’s an invitation to reconnect with your embodied feminine wisdom, craft your unique vision as a practitioner working with women, and lay a clear path to embody who you need to be to bring your sacred vision to life.

Where: Cotswolds countryside, U.K.
Our inspiration behind creating the Embodied Feminine Wisdom Retreat and our vision for the space we desire to co-create…
Welcome To
The Embodied Feminine Wisdom Retreat
As humans, women, practitioners, it’s easy to lose sight of the vision that we hold for ourselves, our life, and our business or work.
Life takes over at times, and we lack the spaciousness we crave to pause, reconnect with ourselves and the deeper knowing within us.
As experienced practitioners, we (Aneta and Isabelle) know how vital it is for us, women, to honour our need to connect, belong, learn and grow together.
To be witnessed, championed, and held in compassionate and expansive spaces.
To recognise that we are not alone, but deeply interconnected, and so much stronger and more powerful together.
We know first hand that something sacred and deeply transformational happens when we come together as women.
We have chosen to create this space for us to explore, learn and grow together.
Who is the Embodied Wisdom Feminine Retreat for?
The Embodied Wisdom Feminine Retreat is ideal for you, if....
You are a woman practitioner supporting women, and you desire to explore somatic practices and how they could transform your approach to coaching and business / work.
You want to work or run your business in a way that is gentler, more feminine and embodied, and rooted in a deep sense of purpose.
You want to reignite the vision you have for yourself, your business or work, and to craft a clear path towards embodying and creating this new, expansive vision.
You enjoy being in community with heart-centered women to share insight, experiences, and hold space for each other as you heal and grow as a woman and as a practitioner
What to expect during the retreat
Deep Connection with yourself and other women, your embodied work and your vision
This retreat is a sacred space for us to reconnect with ourselves and our embodied wisdom through Embodied Listening, working with felt senses and parts.
A space to have deep, meaningful and authentic conversations with like-minded women, and to share a moment in time where we come together compassionately and powerfully (away from our busy lives).
It’s a space to envision what we want to bring to life in our next season or seasons - not only cognitively, from the mind, but from the deep somatic intelligence always alive within us: our body’s wisdom.
We often try to create change from the outside in, but real embodied change comes from the inside out. It emerges from the deepest layers of our being, which includes our ‘soma’, our body.
Learn to reconnect with your true self (the part of you who lives beyond the busyness and all the doing), what’s most important to you and your dreams through somatic body-focused practices and explorations.
This is your invitation to come and join us, to give yourself permission to slow down, pause and listen deeply within, and to allow your body’s feminine wisdom to guide you forward.
Meet Your Facilitators
Isabelle Griffith
Isabelle Griffith is the Founder of The School Of Somatic Leadership For Women™, the creator of The Pause Approach™ and Soma Leadership™.
As a Trauma Informed Somatic Coach and Trainer and Embodied Feminine Leadership Coach and Educator, her life’s work is to help women break the inner narratives that are keeping us feeling stressed, depleted, burnt out, playing small or doubting our worth.
She guides women back into their bodies to rest, live unhurried lives, return to wholeness, reconnect with their feminine power, and embrace more fully who they are and the impact they desire to have in their lives, communities, and work.
In supporting women and training practitioners who work with women, she invites us to explore a gentler way of living and a feminine expression of leadership - and to reimagine what is possible not only for ourselves, but also for generations of young women to come.
In a previous life, Isabelle spent 20 years in the corporate world at times managing large teams across continents. Her doorway into this work was a severe burnout over 10 years go. She is deeply committed to women’s healing and empowerment, as this has been her journey too.

Her approach is further influenced by 25 years of working with trauma and its impact with individuals, families and communities, 16 years in Social Care and later in the community and in her own wellness and coaching business.

Some lovely words from our clients...
“It has been a truly transformative journey for me, and I can honestly say that I feel more empowered, more present with whatever is there, more emotionally mature and resourceful than before.”
“The retreat was so much more than I expected. It felt very healing and empowering. The experience of being in circle with other women was so powerful for me. Thank you for creating this protected space where I felt safe to be seen.”
“Thank you for this beautiful space to return to my body and explore the wisdom of my Rested Woman archetype. Connecting with other women on the same journey has truly inspired me to see new, expansive possibilities for myself, my life, my work.”
“Since I started introducing Somatics into my work I’ve noticed big shifts in my clients, physically, emotionally and mentally, helping to reduce chronic pain, improve balance, making them feel more confident and at ease in their bodies, and introducing movement where there has been years of resistance.”
