Releasing Resentment & Reclaiming Your self - Day Retreat
Resentment Release & Reclaim Yourself Retreat
This two-day retreat is for people who are tired of carrying emotional weight.
Resentment does not fade with time.
It settles into the nervous system and shapes how you think, communicate, relate, and respond under pressure.
When resentment remains unresolved, the body stays on alert. This often shows up as tension, fatigue, emotional reactivity, disconnection, or a constant sense of holding yourself together.
This retreat is designed to help you release stored resentment, anger, disappointment, and sadness in a safe, structured, and deeply supported environment.
With a background in private investigations, Van brings precision, neutrality, and deep insight to every session. Her approach is calm, grounded, and emotionally safe. Clients describe her work as life-changing, stabilising, and profoundly freeing.
This is not about revisiting the past.
It is about resolving it and moving forward.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for you if you are tired of holding onto:
- Resentment & emotional baggage
- Anger that never fully clears
- Disappointment that lingers beneath the surface
- Sadness is connected to feeling wronged or unheard
It is for people who are willing to be vulnerable, not to fall apart, but to release what no longer serves them.
This retreat is for those who want:
- More meaningful relationships with loved ones
- Healthier communication at work
- Less emotional reactivity
- A lighter, more centred way of being
You may appear functional on the outside.
Inside, you know something needs to shift.
This Retreat Is Not For You If
- You are looking to vent, blame, or relive the past
- You want a passive experience without self-responsibility
- You are not willing to reflect on your own emotional patterns
This is a space for those ready to move forward, not stay stuck.
