We are conscious of great changes and rapid growth in our lives just now, and of being asked to release old limiting beliefs about ourselves and the world. This can feel extremely challenging.
It’s hard to adapt to these rapid changes and our bodies often resist, harden, contract in fear, and shrink with fatigue.
Limiting beliefs are enmeshed within our bodies; each thought has a corresponding tension. Even though we may change our mind, the old thoughts often keep coming back, and even though we relax or work-out the best we can, nothing truly changes within our body and our discomfort and fatigue continues, or keeps coming back.
Learning through the language of touch and compassion, you will begin to enjoy a life with less turbulence.
"Annie it was perfect! I came away with an uplift of spirits, feeling far stronger and knowing that I could make a difference to my life. I recommend Annie for anyone feeling burdened by life.” Alex
"I've not looked back. It's been amazing; the loss of pain has been achieved by learning to not only remove the symptoms, but crucially the causes. If you're thinking about The Alexander Technique, I can highly recommend Annie." Rory
“When I arrived I was feeling so disempowered, but I went away feeling so much stronger, lighter, clearer and much more positive.” Kara

- The timetable….
- Meeting over a lunch of homemade soup and local breads and cheeses. (Dietary needs will be catered for.)
- Learning session #1 - introduction to Alexander.
- Tea and homemade cake ('Cakey tea', for those in the know!)
- Learning session #2 - practical applications to something pertinent in your life.
- Learning through the shared preparing and eating of our evening meal together.
- An evening of rest - maybe an uplifting/relevant movie - quiet time - music - or chat.
- A good night's sleep.
- Breakfast
- Learning session #3 - maybe during a walk to the lake, or in the labyrinth, or inside activities.
- Coffee/tea break.
- Learning session #4 and questions and answers.
- Closing with tea and (more!) cake at 4pm.
- I hope this timetable gives you a chance to travel to and from Tree House without stress and rush, and enables you to finish your week before arrival, and/or spend a little time with family and yet still be able to prepare for Monday at the end of the weekend. The total teaching/learning time will be around twelve hours
- The time will offer you:
- A sense of greater space within.
- How to disentangle and feel liberated.
- Dropping identities and finding you.
- A sense of inner balance.
- Benefits gained on previous retreats were:
- A teacher gaining greater authority and presence.
- An opera singer finding more resonance and breath.
- An office worker being comfortable at her computer.
- Yoga poses attained and held with more ease.
- A musician now able to play without pain and rigidity.
- A golfer able to keep their eye on the ball.
What will your question be? Where can I help you?
The days will include:
- Finding more space within you and your life
- Rest, peace, walks, you-time, a breathing space
- The hands-on touch of ‘Alexander’, informing and softening, empowering and integrating
- Being heard - questions and answers
- Increasing your energy and vitality
- Times of lightness - gentle fun and laughter.
- You feeling good!
Cost: £250 to include all tuition, meals, and accommodation. (There are more photos of the venue below.)
Tree House has three double bedrooms - one room can be a twin - and two bathrooms, one with bath, both with loo and showers. The bedrooms are all on the ground floor. There is a flight of stairs to the open plan living space upstairs. The house is very warm, and is also on the 'Mary line', giving it a feeling of great gentleness, care, and compassion.
