FAQs

  • During this weekend there may be invitations to explore and express emotions such as anger and grief, as well as invitations to explore nudity and sexuality. Everything is optional and will be made explicitly so throughout the weekend.

    While we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with, or you are concerned about any element of this retreat please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat on the phone and check in about whether this retreat is right for you at this time. Please email us at enquiries@truenature.org.uk if you would like to speak to someone.

  • Some of the content shared by participants in sharing circles may of a triggering or traumatic nature. This retreat is designed to create a space for us to be open and honest with each other about experiences, and through this healing is possible.

    However, while this work may have therapeutic benefits, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist before deciding to attend a retreat.

  • £200 of your ticket is non-refundable. This is to cover any admin costs if you choose to cancel and to support participants to be sure they can attend before purchasing a ticket. If we manage to find someone to fill your spot we can transfer your ticket to another retreat.

    We cannot offer any refunds if you decide not to attend within 10 days of the retreat start date. With such short notice we are usually unable to fill your spot. If we (or you) do manage to find someone to fill your spot we can transfer your ticket to another retreat.

  • We only offer a 10% membership discount on our retreats if you are paying at the highest tier of £20 per month. This is because our overheads are so high, and discounts on an event with a high ticket value has a huge effect on our overall budget.

  • Our preference is that you are able to attend the retreat from start to finish. We design our process in a way that deepens to the middle of the retreat and then creates space for integration before leaving the experience and returning home. With this in mind please be sure that you are able to attend the whole retreat before booking.

    If you are keen to attend a retreat but need to leave early for whatever reason then please speak with us first. We request that participants join with the intention of staying until the end of the retreat unless this has been discussed and arranged with us prior to the start of the retreat.
