Gestalt and Reflection

Fostering Answers Within

Gestalt and Reflection

The Gestalt and Reflection Retreat dates are created as individuals contact us with interest, info@soulfulprairies.com

A five-day four-night unique opportunity offers time to experience the life changing Gestalt work. Engage in personal and group therapeutic gestalt sessions, side by side with our horses that provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights.

This retreat has been created for individuals seeking the transformative power of Gestalt therapy while having time to process in the beauty of nature.  Participants embark on a journey of self-discovery and fostering awareness in the present moment. New perspectives and insights will be revealed amidst the tranquil surroundings. There will be plenty of space for reflection and relaxation, allowing for profound personal growth.

Each individual will experience four groups and a minimum of two individual sessions with time to connect with other guests throughout the week.

Linda will host a Zoom gathering a month ahead of the retreat in order to meet other guests, ask questions and gather more information. Additionally, Linda will reach out after the retreat with another Zoom gathering to reconnect and reflect.

Testimonials

This picture I took of a stormy night at Soulful Prairies represents the experiences we have here. You open doors in our minds to expose the storm. I am so grateful to have found you and Soulful Prairies.

Whether you’re looking for solitude or connection, Linda’s retreats truly feed the soul. I have attended several,, and each time I return home renewed with a deeper understanding and acceptance of self. Linda has the rare ability to hold non-judgmental space for the complexity we experience as human beings in this world. Everyone deserves the chance to be seen and to touch into the freedom possible when we can look at ourselves and others with compassion and grace. These retreats offer that and more; I highly recommend them.

I had no idea of what to expect for this retreat but had I - they would have been blown out of the water. The space was full of learning and growth. I could not be more grateful for the experience!

A true slice of heaven... the space and vibe of Freedom Reigns and the guidance of Linda. A perfect match! A calming joy.

Linda has the ability to be soft and compassionate. She has an awareness of when a client needs to be moved and when to be still and quiet. This all creates a incredible sense of safety.
