Birth Into Blueprint

April 17 – 21. Glastonbury, UK
Imagine yourself held by the sacred lands of Glastonbury, UK, with a group of incredible women also looking for growth, healing, transformation, and birthing into blueprint. What makes this unique is the exploration of your birth imprints, and the healing that can happen in your body as you connect with your own blueprint of health and well-being, something that is our birth rite. We’ll have five incredible days with space for connection to self and the story in your body and nervous system. And we’ll support connection with others in a safe container using the Healing Story Circle process, complimented by ancient methods for healing so that you can access your own blueprint for healthy connection with yourself and others. We believe that anyone can access their divine blueprint and we’re co-creating a sacred space to allow that birth to unfold for you.

Meet your guides


What is it?
Birth into Blueprint is a 5-day Retreat for women who desire a deep and immersive experience in a co-created world where all of you is welcomed and honored. This retreat will create an opportunity for you to know yourself in a new way by exploring your birth imprints, or the patterns in your nervous system created by how you came into the world that repeat over and over again into present time. To do this, we will use a shared set of guidelines for the retreat, including welcome, mutual support and cooperation, choice, self-care and the pause, eye contact, touch and attention, and confidentiality. These principles create safety to show up as yourself, get your needs met, and explore your implicit somatic memories.

Exploring Birth Imprints Together
We’ll have guided whole group and small group practices to explore your birth imprints, or the experiences that happened to you when you were coming into the world, how those are showing up for you now in present time, and support now to experience what didn’t happen for you then. While we’ll be looking at imprint experiences that may have been (and still may be) difficult for you, our orientation is to support you to connect with your blueprint of health, the connection to what holds you that is bigger than you, and having your needs met. It’s a deeply nurturing experience that you navigate within yourself and with the group. There is always choice and that is part of the healing.



Healing Story Circles
We’ll be using Rebecca’s Healing Story Circle practice, which is a co-created space with a structure that supports you to connect with yourself and to safely share with the group. We use this process in retreats organically, creating the space when something is moving in you, rather than a rigid structure where everyone takes a turn at a pre-chosen time, so that you can have some support at the time you’re ready. The process is slow and gentle, and you always have choice about what you need in the moment. The Healing Story Circle process helps you to connect with your own knowing, your own inner wisdom, and release whatever is in the way of your Blueprint. We are birthing into the blueprint of health together. And because most of these imprints were experiences of isolation, the healing needs to happen in connection. And we can do this with and for one another in this sacred space.

Deeply Healing Work, Supported by Ancient Lands
The space in Glastonbury is sacred and it creates a unique opportunity to be held by the ancient lands while we’re doing this deeply profound work together. We connect first with ourselves, then with each other, honoring the land and those who came before, leaning on them for strength and resilience. We’ll incorporate some practices from the ancient ones, including sound healing, movement practices, nature walks, pilgrimage to ancient sites, optional yoga and breathwork, and a fire ritual to release what is no longer needed from your imprints. You’ll have time to process on your own according to your needs. All of this creates a safe space for exploration of your earliest experiences, creating a space for them to be seen, supported, and loved.



What will I receive from this retreat?
Real-life tools that you can practice and apply in the retreat and then once you’re home in all of your relationships… including with yourself. You will get to experience and practice new ways to connect with and support yourself and others through the lens of the story of your birth showing up in your body. You’ll have space to nurture yourself through our shared activities using ancient methods for healing and accessing your own blueprint for healthy connection, connection with other women, and transformation of stuck energy by connecting with the blueprint. All of this is gentle and spacious, with room for you to stay connected to yourself. You’ll understand your own birth imprints and how to work with them to see yourself and your life’s challenges in a new light.

Who’s it for?
For women looking for deeper connections with themselves and others, transformation, and healing. It’s for those interested in exploring healthy relationships in a co-created container incorporating the principles of Somatic Psychology into real life. It’s for women interested in exploring the implicit story in their bodies from the way they came into the world and are open to discovering new things about themselves.

It’s for you if…
-You’re needing space to nurture yourself and learn more about yourself from a new perspective so you can show up in your life and relationships in the way you desire
-You’re needing extra layers of support during this season of life
-You’re wanting a safe space to practice meeting yourself in deeper ways
-You’re wanting to connect deeper with your loved ones
-You’re looking for conscious community for authentic relating
-You’re wanting practices that you can take away from this experience that will help you consciously navigate through everyday life.
-You’re wanting to explore the mysteries of your implicit story from your early life experiences, and would love the opportunity to write a new story for yourself about why you are the way you are that’s more gentle and loving.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are.” ~Carl Jung

Where is it?
We will spend 5 days/4 nights together just outside of Glastonbury, UK, in a unique container where we can be supported by the ancestral field and the energetic leylines that run directly under The Avalon Rose Chapel where we will be residing for this work we will do together.
For those of you who are not familiar with the mystical lands of Avalon, allow us to expand and excite your souls for this unique journey we are about to embark on together.
The Avalon Rose Chapel, in Othery, Somerset, is situated on the St.Michael and Mary energetic leylines of the earth, intertwining the masculine and feminine energies as a beautiful foundation for our retreat.
Avalon, over time has been famed for its mystical mythology bringing stories of King Arthur and Merlin, Jesus & Mary Magdalene, and is now a popular place of spiritual wisdom teachings for High Priests and Priestesses of modern day.
We will be working with these special energies throughout our retreat and also taking time to visit the ancient sites of Burrow Mump (which holds the remains of St. Michaels Church), Glastonbury Tor, The Chalice Well, The White Springs, and Glastonbury Abbey.
The Chalice Well is a beautiful meditation garden which holds the Sacred Well where it is said Jesus’s uncle Joseph of Arimathea, brought Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene and Marys daughter Sarah to deposit the blood of Christ after his death.
The spring here is known as The Red Spring which is high in Iron and colours the water red, the adjacent White Springs which is rich in calcite is somewhere we will be visiting & finishing our retreat with a beautiful blessing and ceremony.
This beautiful temple is a Victorian built Well House that is nestled beneath Glastonbury Tor. Cavernous and set apart, in blackness or candle lit, mysterious it remains. A wonderful contrast to the sunlit gardens of Chalice Well. The interior consists of three domed vaults 16ft high, with beautiful bowed floors – like the hull of a boat moored at the portal to the Otherworld. With its constant temperature, and the sound of the perpetually flowing water, it is a unique and sacred space for us to end our retreat on the final day.

F.A.Q.'s
Updated as questions come along.
Q: I’m concerned about sharing a room with someone I don’t know. Are there any other options?

At this point, she began her year-long teacher training with The Himalayan Yoga Institute and has just graduated with The School of Natural Shamanism in Sacred Sound Healing.
