Incredibly Grateful
Aged 66 my 40 year marriage had ended and had featured traumas for me. Historically I had felt ‘not good enough’ and lacked confidence socially.
In the past I’d had repeated episodes of talking therapies which were an outlet but didn’t help to shift my mindset about myself and my life. I chose this retreat as it offered something completely different which I really felt I needed to get to a more peaceful and contented place.
And having spoken to Pingel for approx 1 hour prior to booking I knew this was the right place to go as long as I had the courage to book. Which of course I did.
The greatest positive is that my mind and thoughts became quiet which allowed my senses and emotions to come to the fore. I have always relied on my mind to problem solve but this experience showed me it was actually getting in the way of happiness and moving forward.
I am incredibly grateful for the support and care I received on this retreat. Pingel and Peter spend so much time with you in such a comfortable and caring way but at the same time will reflect back some of your thought processes that might be keeping you stuck. For me these were invaluable. It felt more like being with friends than being a client.
I was concerned I might not be able to manage the physical aspects of this retreat at my age although I am reasonably flexible. However I had an individualised program and although it was hard work that stretched me at times it was never too much. In fact it was a positive that I was physically pushed.
