Crystal Clear Retreats

Crystal Clear Retreats Have you been feeling very up and down in your mood recently? Are you struggling to keep positive?

Join one of my retreats to feel renewed, reconnect with yourself and others and let go of behaviours, thoughts and feelings that don’t serve you anymore. The retreat includes a programme of Coaching workshops, Mindfulness, Yoga and Deep Tissue massage. Food and accomodation is provided and therapist and facilitators will be available at all times throughout the retreat to support you in your journey through the weekend. It is an opportunity to make friends, be yourself and address some of those difficult life issues in a safe and confidential environment.

The Power of Connection

One of the most transformative parts of this retreat is the opportunity to connect with like-minded people who truly understand. Anxiety and depression can often feel isolating, but when we come together in a supportive space, we realise we are not alone.

By sharing your story and listening to others, you can begin to release the weight of isolation and the false belief that you have to face this on your own. Together, we create a space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted—just as you are.
You’ll be reminded that this is not your fault, and that healing is possible when we lean into community.

Safe, Supportive Group Sessions
Our group sessions are gently facilitated by Vanessa Wallace and her experienced psychotherapeutic team, who bring warmth, compassion, and a genuine ‘family feel’ to the retreat. This creates a safe, nurturing environment where you can be open about your feelings, negative thoughts, and personal experiences without fear of judgment.

When you’re with us, you don’t have to wear a mask.
You can simply be yourself—and that is more than enough. Find more information in the comments or message me the word retreat.

Keeping it in the day and how powerful that can be as a mental wellbeing tool.
For me, keeping it in the day really changes how I feel. Instead of getting caught up in everything that’s already happened or everything that might happen, I just focus on today. It makes things feel a lot less overwhelming because I’m only dealing with what’s right in front of me. I can take responsibility for what I can actually control and let go of the stuff I can’t, which takes a huge weight off my shoulders.
This was one of the first things I learnt to manage my stress levels many years ago when I came into recovery and quite honestly it was like gold dust. 
It also gives me space to be honest with myself—about where I’m doing okay and where I need to make some adjustments—without beating myself up. When I do this, I feel calmer and more grounded, and making better choices just becomes a little bit easier. Over time, taking it one day at a time helps me build habits and a life that actually feel sustainable, instead of constantly chasing or stressing about the next thing. Honestly, it’s kind of freeing, because it reminds me that I only have to handle today, and that’s enough.

My inner critic used to be so loud. It would batter me daily with comments about the way I looked, what I said, how I presented myself, where I was not good enough and how I was such a failure and everything I should have done but had not. 
Strangely enough our inner critic is a thing we all need. It’s original purpose is to tell us when we are in danger. Danger of being ostracised from a group, danger of failing at something or sends us warnings about doing things differently. You see doing things differently to our brain is dangerous because it is risky to our survival. “You have survived ok on what we have been doing previously so why change it?” Your inner critic will tell you. 
The inner critic’s function is to tell us where there is danger, it helps us to assess situations. When it is good to do something and take and action or when it may be a threat to us. One could look at it as an overprotective friend that is constantly looking out for us in the background and communicating their concerns every minute of the day.
Our January retreat helps you work on your inner critic and build self compassion. Find out more in my bio or via the link https://www.crystalclearcoaching.org/workshops-retreats/3-day-retreats/

Do you feel guilty when you set a boundary?

Guilt is a natural part of setting boundaries in our lives, especially if we’re not used to doing so.

Guilt is the emotion we feel when we believe we’ve done something wrong, and as social beings, it plays an important role in helping us navigate relationships, be appropriate and conduct ourselves well.

However, there is also false guilt—the feeling that we’ve done something wrong when, in reality, we haven’t. This often shows up when we set boundaries. The belief that a boundary is “wrong” usually comes from old, inherited beliefs formed in childhood or in our family system. Many of these beliefs are no longer helpful, true, or relevant today, and some may even be harmful.

If you feel guilty for setting a boundary that you know you need, you may be abandoning your own truth in order to please others. This kind of people-pleasing is essentially a form of dishonesty, and over time it can cause significant damage in relationships. That is what truly should cause guilt—not honouring a boundary that protects your well-being.

For anyone considering whether to sign-up to a retreat, I would whole heartedly say do it. Having just returned from the Renew and Reconnect retreat, I can honestly say I feel both - a massive shift, energised, and more positive too.
Attending a retreat is a huge investment, but in the most important person - yourself. The topics covered on the retreat are both challenging and enlightening, for the body as well as the mind, and there will be tears and laughter - all within the safety of others experiencing the same.
The retreat isn’t a quick fix. It doesn’t wave a magic wand and you are miraculously cured from anxiety or depression. But what it does is give you a greater awareness of how and why you feel what you feel, tools and techniques to break destructive thoughts, and supportive groups within which to explore sensitive issues and offer mutual support.
Under the hugely experienced guidance and support of Vanessa you decide what will serve you best going forward, and you set your own goals to work towards.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Vanessas over the last six years, and been on three retreats, and I can honestly say the work with her has transformed my close relationships, family dynamics, my outlook on life, and my whole sense of worth because I have learnt to accept and love the most important person in my life, myself. Retreat participant Sept 2025. Next retreat 30th January-1st February. Link in bio or below https://www.crystalclearcoaching.org/workshops-retreats/3-day-retreats/
