The Space
A day retreat that’s not a day retreat
Once a month, I open my home in Dorset for something I’m calling The Space. Real women gathering around my kitchen table, bringing whatever they’re carrying – the grief, the rage, the unexpected joy, the confusion – and remembering what it feels like to not be alone with any of it.
We sit in circle. We share food. We breathe together. We move side by side. We end the day by the fire.
This isn’t a workshop or a programme. It’s simply being held in community while we remember we were never meant to do this alone.
Day only or overnight options available.
Community Events
As part of our commitment to accessible support, we offer two free community spaces open to all, especially those quietly carrying too much.
Community Breath Alchemy – Fortnightly Wednesday Evenings
We’ve been gathering online for breathwork every fortnight for three years now. It’s become a real community – some people have been with us from the beginning, and we love welcoming new faces.
A gentle breathwork practice that soothes the nervous system and helps you land. No experience needed, just a willingness to breathe and be. We look after one another in this space.
These spaces are an extension of how we work:
Care should not be exclusive.
Support should be shared.
And healing, if and when it comes, should happen together.
Philosophy
We Were Never Meant to Do This Alone
We believe care happens best when it’s shared, not sold.
Burnout and exhaustion aren’t personal failings – they’re what happens when we’re told to hold everything together on our own.
What most of us need isn’t more advice or another course. We need actual space. We need care that’s relational, not transactional. We need to remember there’s another way.
At The Serenity Practice, care isn’t a service you purchase. It’s how we show up with each other.
As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), we exist to serve. Any money we make goes back into making this work accessible to more people.
We offer:
- Free community and ADHD breathwork sessions
- Bursary places each year
- Pricing that allows for real choice based on your circumstances
Because when one person gets the support they need, it ripples out to their family, their community, their world.
