The work centres around fire. We’re working with power, shame, and freedom — looking at how shame constricts the body and fragments energy, and how clean, aligned power emerges when those layers are metabolised rather than bypassed. Breathwork becomes the gateway: a way into the body, the nervous system, and the places where old patterns still live. The group becomes a place where projection can be reclaimed, and where trust, contact, and real relationship can emerge.

‍Fire is central because of its capacity to purify and tranform and it is connected to the fire of the solar plexus. This is the seat of ego, identity, will, and life force where shame most often takes hold when it hasn’t been worked through: shaping identity, distorting self-perception, dampening vitality, or hardening into control.

When this centre is collapsed or over-defended, power becomes fragmented — either suppressed or expressed in ways that don’t feel clean.

When approached consciously, fire doesn’t destroy; it purifies. It clarifies identity, releases bound charge, and restores forward movement. We work with fire to free energy that has been tied up in shame, so it can reorganise into something grounded, coherent, and alive.

The Ouroboros — the symbol of renewal, return, and transformation — anchors the field. Not destruction, but purification. What no longer belongs is burned away; what remains reorganises itself. This retreat is held at Tofte Manor, a powerful spiritual site whose land, geometry, and stillness support deep internal reorganisation. The environment matters. The field matters. The group matters. We work deeply, and we work with intention
