Autumn Within

A therapeutic mini retreat for the messy middle of life.

There are seasons in life when we find ourselves somewhere between where we’ve been and where we’re going.

Perhaps you’re navigating a change in your relationships, family life, career or sense of identity. Perhaps you’ve spent so long looking after everyone else that you’re not entirely sure what you need anymore.

Or maybe everything looks absolutely fine from the outside, but internally, there’s a feeling that something needs your attention.

You don’t have to be going through a crisis to want to understand yourself more deeply.

Autumn Within is an opportunity to make some intentional time for yourself, explore what’s happening beneath the surface and discover what you might need during this particular season of life.

Inspired by my own recent solo trip, I’ve created this intimate therapeutic mini retreat for those who would welcome a different kind of experience.

One that brings together therapeutic exploration, guided practices, creativity and practical self-care, with space to reflect on where you are right now and what might support you moving forward.

Exploring Your Inner World

Through Compassionate Inquiry and parts work, we’ll explore the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, beliefs and behaviours.

Perhaps there’s a part of you that feels responsible for everyone else, a part that worries about what comes next, or a part that feels frustrated because you’re not where you thought you’d be.

Rather than trying to silence or change these parts, we’ll approach them with curiosity and compassion.

You’ll have opportunities to explore familiar patterns, consider where some of your beliefs may have originated and reflect on how they might be influencing your experience today.

There is no expectation to share anything you’re not comfortable sharing, and we’ll move through the experience at a pace that respects your individual capacity.

Understanding and Supporting Your Nervous System

We’ll explore the relationship between your body, emotions and nervous system, including how overwhelm can show up physically and emotionally.

Through guided breathwork and somatic self-care, you’ll be introduced to practical ways of supporting yourself in everyday life.

We’ll explore five areas of seasonal self-care: breathwork, lymphatic drainage, sleep, circulation and EFT tapping.

The intention isn’t to add another list of things you should be doing, but to help you discover what might genuinely support you and feel manageable within your own life.

Creating Your Clarity Board

Sometimes, when everything is swirling around in our minds, it can be difficult to recognise what actually needs our attention.

During our creative workshop, you’ll use large-format paper, guided prompts and reflection to create your own Clarity Board.

An opportunity to bring your thoughts, feelings and priorities out of your head and onto paper, exploring what feels important, what may be contributing to your overwhelm and what small, realistic steps might support you moving forward.

You’ll take your Clarity Board home as a personal resource to revisit whenever you need it.

Seasonal Nourishment and Your Take-Home Clarity Pack

We’ll enjoy a warming ginger, honey and turmeric drink together, with an opportunity to explore simple seasonal self-care rituals.

You’ll also receive a thoughtfully prepared Clarity Pack containing a notebook, Compassionate Inquiry journal prompts, a clarity crystal and Palo Santo, alongside your personally created Clarity Board.

These resources are yours to take home and revisit as you continue exploring what this season of life means for you.

Who Is Autumn Within For?

This experience may resonate with you if you’re navigating a period of change or uncertainty, feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts or responsibilities, questioning what you want from your next chapter, or finding yourself caught in familiar patterns.

Perhaps you’re curious about understanding yourself more deeply, or you’d simply welcome some time away from everyday responsibilities to explore what you need.

You don’t need any previous experience of therapy, breathwork or parts work.

You’re welcome to come on your own, and there is no expectation to share anything you’re not comfortable sharing.

With a maximum of eight guests, Autumn Within offers an intimate group experience with time for individual reflection and therapeutic exploration.

Your Guide

I’m Ruth, founder of Reset Wellbeing and a multi-award-winning Integrative Therapist.

My work brings together Compassionate Inquiry, parts work, somatic practices and therapeutic breathwork, with an emphasis on understanding ourselves, building capacity and approaching our experiences with curiosity rather than judgement.

I created Autumn Within because I know how valuable it can be to have time to explore what’s happening within us, particularly when life feels uncertain or we’re navigating change.

My hope is that you’ll leave with a greater understanding of your own needs, some practical resources to support yourself and a little more clarity around what comes next.
