Details

Imagine stepping away from the noise of everyday life and reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels deeply nourishing and freeing. Guided by Sheela Masand and Julie McCammon, this retreat is designed for anyone who wants to explore the powerful connection between mind and body. Whether you’re struggling with persistent pain, anxious thinking, or chronic stress—or simply feel it’s time to slow down and tune into your body’s wisdom—you’ll find a welcoming space here to discover something new about yourself. This retreat is about deep rest, realignment, and reconnecting with yourself in a whole new way. You don’t need to have prior experience with any particular approach—just a willingness to explore and be open to something new. What you'll discover: The Mind’s Role in Suffering & Healing – Understand how thought shapes your experience of pain, stress, and anxiety and what happens when you begin to see it differently. The Body’s Natural Wisdom – Learn to listen to your body and use self-myofascial release to unlock stored tension and restore balance. The Bodymind Connection – Experience firsthand how addressing both mind and body together leads to a profound shift towards health and well-being. You Already Have Peace, Clarity, and Wellbeing – Learn how to be kind and gentle with yourself as you release bracing patterns in your body—some you may not even realise you have! Deep Listening – Uncover and experience the innate gift you have (as does every human being) to deeply listen to yourself, to others and to your body. You won’t be on this journey alone—we’ll be right there with you, guiding and supporting you as you feel your way into your healing.

Testimonials

“I felt it was all well organised by friendly and open facilitators and lovely companions on the journey; well held; plenty of time for questions; and a beautiful yoga studio for body work. Exploring deep listening is always helpful. Expanding it to include everything including the body is an imporatnt reminder that nothing is excluded in our experience. It went deep for me and I am still processing the unfolding experience. Thank you for organising this retreat.”

Gail Minter, UK

Julie possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience, which helped me grasp the topics clearly. She is also very humble and down-to-earth, making me feel that she was on this journey with us rather than merely teaching us. I felt very comfortable expressing myself and getting involved in my occasionally awkward way during class. I never felt judged for my contributions and left each session feeling better about myself, both physically and mentally.

Joanne, Ireland

“My experience on the recent retreat, Quiet Mind Quiet Body with Julie McCammon and Sheela Masand was excellent. The morning sessions, gently exploring the BodyMind connection, sharing, exploring and being curious was so valuable as insights dropped in. The evening sessions were very powerful and in truth unexpected as I had not anticipated the depth of feeling and release of ‘bodymind’ held tensions and emotions to be revealed so freely. I’m grateful to have had this space and time held with such kindness and understanding. Thank you both”
