Return
An invitation into a held space — to pause, reconnect, and find clarity
RETURN is not an escape from life.
It is a pause – held by nature and guided presence.
This retreat offers space to regulate the nervous system, reconnect with your inner clarity, and integrate what you discover into everyday life.
What shifts here is meant to accompany you home.
What We Explore & How We Work
Over six nights and five full days, RETURN offers a spacious yet structured rhythm. The emphasis is not intensity – but steadiness and integration.
Throughout the retreat we work with:
- Nervous system regulation
- Embodied awareness
- Understanding our feelings and needs
- Discovering recurring patterns
- Resetting daily rhythms
- Navigating life with practical tools
The daily rhythm includes:
- Morning grounding or breath-based practice
- Facilitated sessions with guided inquiry and shared reflection
- Group check-ins and integration
- Time in nature and space for rest
- Optional journaling and personal integration
The facilitation is grounded in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), The Compass, inner child work, and gentle breathwork – always with a strong focus on everyday integration.
Is RETURN for You?
RETURN is for women who sense that something in their current rhythm does not feel aligned.
Perhaps you have been coping, holding things together, or moving through life on momentum —
yet beneath the surface there is a quiet longing for something more grounded.
You are ready to look at your emotional patterns more honestly.
To work with your feelings and needs in a practical, embodied way.
To reconnect with your inner steadiness — in a women-only space, at your own pace.
This is not about pushing further. It is about coming back to yourself.
The Way We Hold This Space
RETURN is guided by Nina Neidhart and Louise Abbott – each bringing a complementary approach to this work.
Nina’s facilitation is rooted in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), reflective inquiry, and inner child work — supporting clarity around feelings, needs, and recurring relational patterns.
Louise brings a somatic and breath-based approach, creating space for the body to regulate, release, and reconnect with its own intelligence.
Together, we offer a container that integrates language and embodiment – insight and nervous system regulation – so understanding is not only conceptual, but lived.
The space is held with steadiness and respect for your autonomy. Nothing is imposed. Nothing is rushed. Each woman is supported in finding her own rhythm.
This is not about intensity.
It is about integration.
