About this Retreat
Bodyworker, Somatic Therapist and Ceremonialist
Drawing on her training in emotional intelligence, nature of mind teachings, and somatic connection, Lizzie offers a holistic, trauma-informed approach to wellbeing that supports a return to wholeness and freedom. Her apprenticeship with medicine elders has shaped a profound reverence for the power of ceremony, inspiring her passion for creating and sharing ritual spaces.
As a practitioner of Holosomatic Bodywork Therapy, Lizzie is devoted to supporting others in reclaiming full, untethered embodiment—opening pathways for the raw beauty of eros, spirit, and authentic human expression to be fully felt and lived.
Psychologist, Breathworker and Ceremonialist
Kat has over 20 years experience as a psychologist, coach and teacher of the nature of mind. Trained by Gabor Maté, Kat combines her work as a Somatic Psychotherapist, Holosomatic Breathworker and ceremonialist with her passion for embodied decolonisation. The work uncovers and releases layers of childhood & ancestral trauma, societal conditioning, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body.
Kat gently supports her clients to bring all aspects of experience into a place of wholeness and love, so that all of life can be related to with openness, empowerment and deep rooted kindness.
Details of this retreat
Are you ready to connect to deep resource and soften into your beautiful resilient heart?
Join experienced breathwork and somatic facilitators, Kat Ballam and Lizzie Keates for this special 3-day retreat and deep dive into the healing power of breath, ritual, and community.
Holosomatic Breath Therapy combines Conscious Connected Breath with touch and movement to support the body and mind to access and release trauma carried in our cells and psyche.
Together as a group of openhearted women, we will open a safe and caring transformational space with our intentions and prayers, inviting healing for the patterns of disconnection passed down through generations and reconnecting to a memory within each of us of something deeper and fully alive - a knowing of our uniquely bold and beautiful resilient heart.
Each ceremony offers the chance to rewrite and rewire the body and nervous system, opening to deeper consciousness, belonging, and freedom to live with agency, deep self care and compassion.
Held at a stunning retreat centre in South Devon, with beautiful accommodation among meadows and orchards, plus a wood-fired sauna and stream-fed plunge pool.
We offer 1:1 calls in the lead up to the retreat so you can explore the patterns specific to your life experience and lineage, and Group Integration calls after our days together so you can feel supported by the sense of community as you move back into daily life and live into the wisdom and insights you experienced over the retreat.
Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions and we are very happy to have a call with you to feel into if this is an experience that will support you at this time. Just reach out!
