I know it feels like life continues to get harder??
The remaining aftermath of the pandemic, into a recession, the disturbing global unrest, the cost of living crisis and all of the organisations that are supposed to support you are failing you. The feelings of burnout and anxiety are real (or just around the corner).
The realist knows this stuff isn’t going away and if it does, there will be something personal, national or global to take its place.
By now, I hope you are beginning to realise the only thing you have control over is yourself! How you choose to feel, think and act in each moment. AND how Vital it is to really nurture yourself first and foremost.
So what if I told you that attending The Vitality Retreat will not only replenish your body, mind and spirit; it can ensure that burnout and anxiety are a thing of the past. When life inevitably throws stuff at you, rather than taking chunks out of your soul, it will bounce straight off and you can continue to thrive, not just survive - How wonderful does that sound?
In our time together, using breathwork, movement, meditation and many other techniques, we will relieve you of your un-serving, heavy, stagnant emotional baggage that you lug around daily - no wonder you are exhausted! You probably can’t even remember what it feels like without it! We will Identify the shit you tell yourself that is perceived to be keeping you safe and relieve you of that too!
By the time you leave, you will have replaced those feelings with that of light, space and joy, a beautiful (re)connection with yourself and your fellow retreaters on this journey alongside you. I have many ladies that you can talk to that can testify to this!
Join us for The Annual Vitality Retreat at the stunning Luxury Villa in the beautiful town of Kalkan in Turkey, where you will be looked after like the goddess you are from start to finish.
The journey will start as you unpack the weight of your life (& your posh mini toiletries into your luxurious en suite!) and from that point onwards, you get to intentionally fill newly created space with joy, gratitude and a forward-facing plan just for you.
When you are chauffeur-driven back to the airport, you will feel fully re-connected with yourself; you’ll have the confidence to listen and trust yourself. You will feel Vital and inflow and leave with a tool bag of techniques to help you sustain this forever (and lifelong friends that know what went on in Kalkan!)
We will do this through Pilates and Pilates-based exercise, Meditation, Breathwork, Subconscious transformational coaching and more. No experience is necessary. Just be willing and open to focusing on yourself!
If traveling and having new experiences is one of your values, then this retreat is for you. It is not one of those retreats where you could be anywhere in the world because you don’t get time to see the place, or you have to book extra days on either side so you can explore. Exploring is part of the transformation. You will have free time throughout the week, including Market day (Bring an empty suitcase!!) and the excursions also help you take in the sights in Luxury.
Your Vitality maker:
My name is Catherine Chapman and I will be your host and facilitator for the Vitality Retreat. I am a Vitality Coach who helps women like you to clear through stuck emotions and learn techniques that will help you become and remain the most vital, glowing version of yourself possible. Some of my favourite words are connection, flow and joy and these will run throughout the retreat.
As a wife, Mama of 3 and business owner, I fully understand the stressors of life. It got to a point where it was no longer viable to be all things to all people without putting myself first (Hear, the universe sent me a prolonged period of acute anxiety!). I am not available to feel like that ever again. Life is also full of magic and wonder and that is where I chose to focus and I believe you can too!
I have training in Pilates, Subconscious work, life and success coaching including EFT, NLP, TimeLine technique and hypnosis. I am also a qualified breathwork healer and meditation teacher.
Our Dream maker:
Julia Sondack is going to be with us all the way. She has extensive knowledge of the local area and our excursions etc and will be there to make sure you have a seamless and unforgettable experience.
As part of the retreat we have organised the following fabulous events:
Private Boat Trip: This week is about helping you look at things differently; the experiences complement this. When we are on our private boat you will get to see the beautiful Kalkan from a totally different perspective. You’ll get to jump / swim / float / kayak in the beautiful Mediterranean, relax in comfort on the deck and so much more. Even if I told you in great detail about this day, I still couldn’t do it justice. We will even be using mother nature's inspiration for a beautiful meditation, With all of this you will have worked up quite an appetite for the delicious lunch that the captain and the crew will be preparing for you on board. Lunch, Chilled water and ice cream is all included.
The sound of the sea has always been a comfort when feelings of overwhelm take over. Whilst you are in this luxurious, safe, nurturing environment, allow the waves to carry away any heaviness so that you can feel revived and new and knowing you will be able to call up this feeling, wherever you are, whenever you need it.
Beautiful Gorge Walk: Another opportunity for nature to inspire us, giving us the ideal backdrop for an endorphine boosting walk and a morning meditation with a difference. The walk will be dovetailed by Breakfast and coffee and Baclava, served in the most beautiful surroundings by the waterside. This, entrance to the gorge and a guide is all included. There is no underestimating this experience, it is one of the most beautiful moments of the week.
Hammam inc. 30 min massage: There is no better way to start a retreat than to be treated to a Turkish spa and massage - Ultimate Bliss! This body work, as well as being luxurious and relaxing (because you are totally worth it) compliments the physical movement and the subconscious work so that you can flow into the rest of the week already free from tension and old, unserving stuck emotions and a little bit closer to knowing and loving yourself more. We are so excited for this!
Catered Breakfast, BBQ and meals at Luxury Villa: Whilst you chill or journal by the pool or lounge on the huge sofas at Luxury Villa, our private chef and his team will come along and cater for us, every morning (apart from the gorge walk) and 3 evenings including BBQ and Mousaca, all served with meze salads. We are looking after you inside and out!
Private Beach Club: Think serviced comfortable sunbed, wooden decking and sea pontoons - Luxury Chillin at its best! Close your eyes and imagine it and know it’s all for you. Lunch and a drink are included. There is an opportunity for you to purchase more beverages if required.
New for this year - Our final evening will come to a close in spectacular style on the dunes of Patara Beach, watching the sun go down. We will then eat at a local restaurant before being chauffeured back to the villa.
Do you want to know the crazy part?!! The above activities are just the icing on the cake; they are just the oil to smooth the wheels of change. The transformative work will take place throughout the week and will continue forever. Some changes and realisations will hit you like a lightening bolt and some changes (and these are the magical ones) you will only realise have happened when you don’t react to something like you used to in the past.
Perhaps when you don’t use food, sugars or alcohol as a crutch or when you make decisions based on your value and not everyone else's. I’m really looking forward to you getting to know your higher self, maybe for the very first time and becoming lifelong friends.
