Stepping Out of Comfort Zones… 🌊🔥🌿
This part of the retreat was all about courage.
The dook.
The sauna.
The nature therapy.
That moment beforehand…
The nervous laughter.
The “oh my goodness, am I actually doing this?”
The little flicker of anxiety mixed with excitement.
And then…
The plunge.
The breath.
The heat of the sauna.
The grounding of the Lochside.
The transformation of the fire as you look within..
Watching faces transform from uncertainty to pure joy is honestly one of our favourite things. Giant smiles. Sparkling eyes. That feeling of “I did it!”
You could almost see people standing taller afterwards… like they’d remembered something powerful about themselves.
A massive part of that transformation was knowing they were in safe, experienced hands.
With Barry from Swim.Outside & Louise from Wild in Scotland guiding the water work,
Janice from Matrix Therapies leading the nature therapy,
and Dianne holding us beautifully in her lovely Celtic sauna.
Safety creates bravery.
Support builds confidence.
And stepping out of your comfort zone… expands it forever.
Shout out to our lovely therapists who braved the water for the first time too..
More retreat magic to come 🤍
