Wild Connections: Transformative Communication Retreat
Fri-Sun
2-4 August
Mid Wales
Create more depth and harmony with people in your life.
Learn tools to assertively and compassionately set boundaries and ask for what you want.
Why do this retreat?
We often hear people talk about where they are stuck in life - wanting someone to be different, wanting themselves to change in some way - exercise more, make more money, be a better friend, parent or child.
In order to effect positive change, we need to uncover (and makes friends with) our own limiting beliefs that are in the way.
These beliefs stem from past betrayals, losses, humiliating failures, or personal crises.
They weigh us down like sandbags, holding us back from fulfilling our potential.
Why I am hosting this retreat?
Over the last 20 years, I’ve attended the Satvatove Seminars led by Dr David Wolf over a dozen times - as an attendee, organiser and facilitator in training.
It’s the Foundational Training which gave me the skills to help navigate leadership challenges at work and at home. The training that helped me take off the ‘masks’ that I was wearing for fear of being rejected by others if they new the ’real me’. It’s helped me find the courage and skills to address issues not just change jobs or relationships.
It’s Satvatove that helped me find a cooperative separation with a partner where we now co-parent and live harmoniously.
It’s Satvatove’s training that I called upon to face a life-threatening heart attack last January with acceptance and peace. I was still scared to leave behind an 11 year-old boy and I openly cried about it, but the spiritual grounding instilled from years of Satvatove-style work created a deep sense of trust inside me - I know now that no matter what happens, it is okay.
I can emphatically say that the skills I learned from Dr Wolf has been the single best training I’ve ever done. That's why I'm offering this weekend experience to pass on the tools that Dr Wolf and Satvatove has shared with me.
Who is this retreat for?
Everyone. No need to have done any Satvatove workshops before, but if you have, this retreat will help sharpen and build upon those skills. If you ever find yourself being nice instead of real, or not asking for what you want then kicking yourself later, this workshop will give you tools for changing those patterns.
Who is David Wolf?
Since this weekend retreat is based on the work of Dr David Wolf, I wanted to share a bit about him.
Dr Wolf has over 40 years experience in a range of counseling, social work, executive coaching, and spiritual life coaching. He is the author of Relationships That Work and the Founder of the Satvatove Institute, the organization under which he delivers his workshops.
He came to Wales in January 2024 to lead the four-day Foundational Seminar and will come back in January 2025 again (dates to be confirmed).
Who is Scott McGregor?
A question I am constantly finding out myself!
After getting a self-help book at 12 years old, I’ve been inspired by Tony Robbins and Carolyn Myss and later group workshops like Satvatove, Landmark, Byron Katie, NVC, IFS, tantra, Mankind Project and many more.
But the tools I learned in Satvatove are the ones that serve me in all environments - from work to workshops.
To step into another person’s world and attune in a deep way. creates a sacred space. And in that space, people feel safe to share and open up.
I have been hosting men’s retreats for the past four years on this site. It is a special place with spiritual roots dating thousands of year to the Druids of Wales.
