Previous Love Retreat participants offered the following kind words about their Dorset retreat experience.
"Katherine's Love Retreat has been an invaluable part of our lives. Katherine's guided weekend provided us with a safe and supportive environment to explore ourselves, our pasts and the building blocks for fulfilling our dreams. Katherine's insights shone light on areas for our self-care, growth and self-awareness. She shared her rich experience and has given us the tools to take on our own journey" - Claire, Nat, Rachel, Fi, Bev, Charlotte and Joss, March 2020 cohort
“I’m over the moon. My boyfriend proposed this morning. Thank you, Katherine, for helping me to make this happen” – G.A., previous retreat participant and coaching client, now married
"An amazing transformative experience. Katherine is gifted at giving space for voices, encouraging women and fostering dreams" – Mandy, who flew in from Canada for the retreat
"An insightful and life-changing experience" - Liz
"I feel so proud of myself for making the decision to book my place on the retreat. I would recommend it to anyone - we all need a little self-care and sometimes the only way to see a way for change is to try something different from our usual approach to life. I feel honoured to have spent my weekend with such a kind, caring and inspiring group of ladies. Thank you Katherine for bringing us all together” - Sara
"I felt like I had a breakthrough on this retreat. I'm filled with hope for a new direction" - Heather

The Offering
You will stay in a beautiful ensuite double (for solo occupancy) or twin room in Beach Lodge, a few minutes walk from the beach in Southbourne-on-Sea, between Bournemouth and Christ Church, in Dorset. There, you'll be invited to step inside and take some courageous steps forward on your personal development journey. Through powerful group coaching circles, reflective and insightful exercises and time spent outdoors exploring new horizons, you will be supported to do the following:
* Form a deeper and more loving relationship with yourself
* Accept and love yourself wholeheartedly
* Improve your connection to your intuition so that you can make better, more authentic decisions in life and love
* Grow in self-esteem, confidence and emotional resilience
* Understand your blocks to finding a healthy romantic relationship and/or a fulfilling, abundant and joyful life
* Identify your fears, how they contribute to self-defeating patterns in life and love and how to walk through them
* Let go of any unhelpful patterns, people or core beliefs that are standing in your way
This women's retreat is limited to 8 places. This allows me to create a safe, intimate space, to understand your unique challenges and to offer individual support within the group coaching circles. Wherever you are on your healing journey, this retreat will support you to understand yourself on a deeper level. Women who've previously taken my group courses, worked with me as their coach or attended previous retreats are all warmly invited to attend, as well as women who are new to my work. You'll be invited to complete a pre-retreat questionnaire so that I can tailor our coaching sessions and activities to your individual needs as well as the needs of the wider group.
The coaching you will receive on this weekend is powerful, as the following feedback from my clients attests:
"Katherine's coaching has been incredibly helpful and so worth the investment. With her guidance, I finally dared to fully embrace and love myself and to believe that I am worthy of being loved. Not long after that, I entered into a new relationship. Suddenly, love came naturally to me" - Kate
"It was such a powerful coaching session that really helped me to release some things I needed to let go of. Thank you so much for holding the space the way you did. At the time you mentioned that things can move quickly and they really have. I met the kindest man and we have so much in common. Whilst we've had the usual bumps in the road that come with any relationship, being with him feels like the most natural and easiest thing to do. We are now engaged and planning a wedding" - Geeta, now married
"This experience of working with you has been really profound. You're very, very good at what you do. We've got to the bottom of stuff that I've never been able to understand before. Thank you" - Rachel
Alongside powerful group coaching sessions, there will be love, laughter and, no doubt, some healing tears. I am confident that you will leave the retreat with more hope, greater self-awareness, a deeper understanding of your relationship blocks, tools to help you to achieve your dreams and some wonderful friends. Previous retreat participants continue to speak, meet and support each other years down the line.
You will break regularly for nourishing meals and to experience the beauty of our seaside surroundings on beach walks and optional sea dips (cold water immersion is optional but highly recommended!).

About Your Host

I am the author of How to Fall in Love - A 10-Step Journey to the Heart (Soul & Surf) and the creator and host of The Love Retreat as well as the transformational online courses, How to Fall in Love - Laying the Foundations and Date with Courage, Clarity & Confidence. I finally fell in love in my 40s following many years of dysfunctional relationships and self-harming behaviours, including an eating disorder, compulsive work and relationships with men who weren't available or who weren't good for me. I married my husband in June 2019, aged 48.
